Payback!
According to a U.S. Department of Energy funded study, the payback from commissioning a new facility is 1 to 5 years, depending on the facility size, type, and complexity. This rapid return of investment is due to technology that, without commissioning, is frequently installed and operated incorrectely.
The operation of today's buildings depends on sophisticated devices that control lighting and comfort systems. Unless these devices and systems are installed, calibrated, and operated properly, the bottom line for the building will likely be unsuccessful - less comfortable to occupants, more costly to operate, and disliked by all.
Commissioning is a “best practice“ in the construction industry and resolves these problems.
We believe that a Commissioning Agent is first and foremost a champion for the success of their project. Commissioning is needed to ensure that the owner receives the facility that they purchased, not an approximation. Whether it's future maintenance considerations, construction shortcutting, or on-the-fly design changes, the Commissioning Agent is in a unique position to offer unbiased advice and ensure that project requirements are being met appropriately.
