Commissioning
OVERVIEW
Commissioning,
Retro-Commissioning
& Envelope Commissioning
Commissioning is an investment that protects the owner and ensures that systems perform as intended from day one. We deliver comprehensive commissioning and retro commissioning services that cover planning, procedures, field testing, and documentation for both new and existing facilities. Our work verifies that systems are installed correctly, sequences are implemented correctly, and operators have the information they need to run the building effectively.
Our commissioning scope typically includes:
New building commissioning, existing building commissioning, retro-commissioning, and re-commissioning
Envelope commissioning focused on air and water control, thermal performance, and long term durability
Development of commissioning plans, prefunctional checklists, and detailed functional performance test procedures
Integrated systems testing to confirm that HVAC, life safety, lighting, emergency power, and controls operate together under normal and emergency conditions
On the mechanical and electrical side, we routinely commission:
HVAC systems including air handling units, rooftop units, VAV systems, terminal units, ERVs, VRF and hydronic systems
Emergency and standby power distribution including generators, automatic transfer switches, and critical panels
Lighting and lighting control systems including scheduled control, daylighting, occupancy sensing, and demand response
Fire alarm and life safety systems, smoke control, and interlocks with other systems
On the building envelope side, our envelope commissioning services include:
Review of drawings and details for air barrier continuity, thermal bridging, and moisture control
Field observation of envelope construction including roofs, walls, openings, transitions, and penetrations
Testing with blower door equipment, smoke tools, and infrared imaging to identify air leakage paths and thermal defects
Documentation of deficiencies and practical recommendations that balance constructability, performance, and cost
Our commissioning approach is structured, traceable, and oriented toward return on investment by reducing rework, improving energy performance, and decreasing unplanned downtime.
