Commissioning & Energy Modeling
Why Commissioning Matters
A LEED project is more than just a green building—it’s a commitment to sustainability, efficiency, and occupant well-being. Commissioning ensures that your building’s systems are designed, installed, and operating as intended. This process maximizes energy efficiency, reduces operating costs, and provides long-term reliability for owners and occupants.
Our Commissioning Services
Fundamental Commissioning (LEED Prerequisite)
We support you in meeting LEED’s minimum commissioning requirements by:
Design Document Review
Evaluating the project design early to ensure building systems are aligned with owner requirements and LEED criteria.
Installation Verification
Confirming that equipment and components are installed correctly and according to design intent.
Functional Performance Testing
Testing HVAC, lighting, domestic hot water, and renewable energy systems to verify safe, efficient, and reliable operation.
Issue Resolution & Documentation
Identifying deficiencies and ensuring corrective actions are tracked and resolved before project close-out.
LEED Submission Support
Providing the necessary reports and documentation to streamline the certification process.
Enhanced Commissioning (LEED Credit)
For projects pursuing higher levels of LEED certification, our enhanced commissioning adds significant long-term value by:
Early Design-Phase Involvement
Reviewing drawings and specifications during design to identify efficiency opportunities and prevent costly changes later.
Comprehensive Functional Testing
Developing detailed test scripts and performing rigorous system checks to guarantee real-world performance.
Systems Manual Development
Creating user-friendly guides that provide operations staff with clear instructions on maintaining performance over time.
Operator Training
Conducting on-site training sessions to empower your facilities team to manage building systems effectively.
Post-Occupancy Verification
Returning after occupancy to re-test systems and confirm ongoing compliance.
Monitoring-Based Commissioning
Implementing ongoing performance tracking tools that detect energy drift, helping to maintain peak efficiency year after year.
