Retro Commission

The process of Retro commissioning a facility is essential for optimizing energy performance and ensures that all building systems perform together according to the building design intended and the owner’s operational needs.

Retro commissioning is a systematic process for identifying less-than-optimal performance in an existing facility’s equipment, lighting, control and process systems, and making necessary adjustments to promote energy savings.  Whereas retrofitting involves replacing outdated equipment, Retro commissioning focuses on improving the efficiency of existing equipment. Retro commissioning projects can produce an average savings of 5-15% of total facility energy costs.

Program offers:

  • A thorough building assessment by qualified engineering professionals
  • A study of past utility bills
  • Interaction among personnel to target comforts levels
  • Diagnostic monitoring & functional test of building systems & analysis of these tests
  • This process helps find and repair operational problems
  • Technical support throughout the implementation process
  • A final report, Retro commissioning plan, and schedule
