How Does the Commissioning Process Provide Value?
Commissioning (Cx) is a strategic tool used to ensure that a Building owner receives exactly what they are asking for during their construction project (and beyond)! This value can be derived from less issues found on projects, decreased number of change orders, energy use and maintenance costs along with increased operational output. Many issues discovered during the commissioning process may not stop the building from functioning but may impact the originally promoted value.
Cx Value Snapshot:
- Day One Operational Success. Cx provides a detailed review of the Owner’s project requirements, design document submittals, final construction, post occupancy evaluation and operating documents including warranty information. This process results in simple turn over and efficient operations from the beginning.
- Operating Cost Reduction. (energy, water and waste, indoor air quality, reduced occupant problems, which is a drain on maintenance staff time and occupant satisfaction)
- The More You Know. Commissioned facilities have a much better operational understanding of the sophisticated systems found in buildings today. This knowledge can help to make the best decisions regarding future capital enhancements and operational plans.
- Maintain competitiveness. Well-run buildings demand attention as tenants seek new locations in an increasingly competitive market.
Value By Your Building
- Airports, Energy Efficiency: Incorporating monitoring-based commissioning helps airports baseline and study day-to-day energy consumption, leading to better operational performance and reduced energy costs.
- Healthcare, Maintain a Healthier Environment: Commissioning contributes to a safer and healthier environment for both staff and patients. It ensures that critical systems (such as HVAC, lighting, and life safety) operate optimally, promoting well-being and comfort.
- Data Centers, Reliable and Secure: Commissioning a data center is a comprehensive process that ensures all systems and components are designed, installed, tested, and maintained according to the operational requirements. It also provides enhanced data management, disaster recovery, and compliance with regulatory requirements.
