Commissioning/Recommissioning

Recommissioning/Commissioning is the process of improving the operation and maintenance of building systems to meet the owner's operational needs, while using only as much energy as necessary.

Recommissioning is needed in the existing building stock for several reasons: many buildings need to meet a higher level of performance today than when first built; gas prices are significantly higher and the possibility of higher electricity prices creates a need for more fully optimized operation and control; in schools there is a marked increase in attention to indoor air quality and the delivery of new, higher amounts of ventilation air to all spaces; the cost-cutting emphasis in construction has made it difficult to deliver quality systems and performance; and the limited number and sometimes, capabilities of maintenance staff leads to deferral of maintenance and sub-optional operation of systems.
