Does Your Building Need Commissioning?

Before you turn over the keys…

Commissioning is a structured process that verifies building systems are working the way they were intended to work. It reduces energy waste, occupant comfort, and diagnostics that many facility staff are not equipped to provide.

New Construction Commissioning confirms that a building’s HVAC, ventilation, controls, and lighting systems are installed correctly and operating as intended before occupancy. The process verifies energy code compliance, identifies issues early, improves comfort and reliability, and provides clear documentation.

Ongoing Commissioning is a continuous process that monitors, tests, and tunes building systems over time. It maintains and improves performance as buildings age, schedules change, and equipment drifts.

5 Signs Your New Construction May Need Commissioning

A building can look finished before anyone has confirmed how it will perform.

1. Systems need to work together.

HVAC, ventilation, controls, and lighting all affect each other.

2. Requirements shape the scope.

Energy codes, green programs, incentives, and owner standards can shape the scope.

3. Turnover needs no surprises.

Commissioning helps catch issues before late-stage fixes, callbacks, or rework.

4. Facility team needs a clear handoff.

Documentation and training help operators understand how the building should run.

5. No one has verified performance.

Installed does not always mean ready to perform.

Here Is Why You Want Ongoing Commissioning

After the building is completed…

Continuous Performance, Not One-Time Fixes

1. Monitor System Performance.

Track schedules, runtime patterns, and trends to identify inefficiencies early.

2. Correct Drift Before It Escalates.

Address calibration issues, overrides, and control conflicts before they become failures.

3. Improve Comfort and Ventilation.

Stabilize temperature, airflow, and ventilation conditions across occupied spaces.

4. Support Long-Term Operations.

Provide documentation, findings, and guidance to support reliable building solutions and operations.
