DISCOVERY

Building commissioning comprises specific phases and activities for both new construction and existing buildings.

Whether commissioning new construction or existing buildings, the process includes many incremental activities, usually teambased functions that result in project-specific benefits and documentation.

Commissioning, used as a more forensic problem identification and solutions-based process, can be applied to an existing facility or system even if not initially commissioned.

Commissioning assists in the delivery of a project and helps to provide an efficient, safe and healthy facility; optimizes energy and water use; reduce operating costs; facilitate staff orientation and training; and improve installed building systems documentation and operations.

These functions can result in increased profitability in both facility and staff operations.
