Recommissioning
Save Money in Several Ways with Building Recommissioning
New building commissioning is clearly helpful when it comes to
ensuring systems in a new building are working properly. Its popularity
has increased steadily since the 1980s, with the emergence of
digital automation systems and smart buildings. But existing buildings
can use the commissioning process to their advantage, as well.
Building Recommissioning is a subset of Existing Building Commissioning
and generally refers to the process used in buildings that have
previously been commissioned. Regardless of the term used, Building
Recommissioning can save the building owner significant amounts
of energy and reduce operational and maintenance expenses.
Recommissioning can be performed on any type of facility, but some
types will typically benefit more than others. Whether your building
should be recommissioned or not depends on many parameters such as:
occupancy type (hospital, school, office building, data center, etc.),
age, utility use history, occupant satisfaction, risk to operation,
and projected short term and long term plans for the facility. The
more common occupancy types that pursue building Recommissioning services
are hospitals, Energy Star rated office buildings, data centers, and
other high reliability facilities Even if your building does not fit
into one of these categories but you are interested in reducing your
monthly energy bills, Building Recommissioning is a wise idea.
Perhaps you purchased an existing building with the belief that
it was commissioned when it was built. If the new building commissioning
occurred a few years ago, you may be wondering if you need to
undergo the commissioning process again. In general, if the commissioning
process occurred over 5 years ago, or if the building function
has changed since then, (housing a wholly different business than
it used to) the building would benefit from a Recommissioning
– or possibly continuous commissioning process.
In addition to reducing energy bills, building Recommissioning
offers other significant benefits including: increased system
reliability, increased thermal comfort of occupants, higher tenant
satisfaction, and increased indoor air quality. No matter your
situation, building Recommissioning will leave you with a better
performing facility
