Existing Building Commissioning

To fix chronic problems, reduce energy costs or meet requirements of the LEED-EB rating system, building owners increasingly are requesting commissioning of HVAC systems in their existing buildings. Commissioning providers offer services termed retro-commissioning, recommissioning, ongoing commissioning, and others. However, these variations in terminology and the disparity in the scopes and fees associated with the services are confusing. In addition, some in the building industry question if commissioning existing buildings produces long-lasting benefits.
