HVAC Commissioning
Today’s HVAC systems must be energy efficient, satisfy stringent indoor air quality and comfort conditions, and still be constructed within budget and on-time. Since low bid construction will normally produce less than optimal quality construction, the commissioning process will reveal construction deficiencies, and allow quality to be maintained at the specified level. Additionally, building construction involves many specialized trades that often work independently of one another.
Ineffective communication between the trades and design engineers will often result with installation deficiencies, improperly controlled systems, inefficient operational costs, and construction schedule delays.
Commissioning is a systematic process that addresses these issues. It ensures that the required communication, coordination and verification is maintained, and that the building HVAC systems operate as intended.
This process will also reduce change orders, verify proper start-up of the mechanical systems, increase equipment life, and will reduce the post-occupancy corrective work. Our commissioning procedures include Design Reviews, Start-Up Verification, Controls Verification, Functional Performance Testing, and Owner’s Training.
