Commissioning is a process of building system optimization that begins in the design phase and continues throughout the operation and occupation of a facility. Commissioning increases system efficiencies and reduces maintenance costs.Maximizing efficiency is a crucial part of resource conservation as commercial buildings are responsible for 18% of the total energy consumption in the United States, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Commissioning offers many practical advantages to
facility managers and owners:
- Lowers energy costs
- Improves Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
- Supplies a comfortable environment for building occupants
- Lessens risk of sudden equipment failure
- Extends equipment life overall
As an HVAC service and maintenance contractor, ConServ is sensitive to the critical role played by HVAC systems in overall building operations because we know that a properly functioning system will use 15 to 20 percent less energy than a system that is poorly maintained. HVAC systems provide comfort and clean air for building occupants, as well as the correct temperature and humidity levels required for equipment such as data servers and telecommunications. Maintaining HVAC systems at peak efficiency is essential to building management.
