Commissioning and Green Design
The majority of new buildings are not built with energy efficiency in mind and most of the five million existing commercial buildings in the U.S. have never undergone any type of commissioning or quality assurance process. As a result, they use more energy, cost more to operate, and perform well below their potential. Conversely, buildings that have been properly commissioned perform better and are more energy efficient. Yet, the idea that commissioning is an unnecessary additional cost still often prevails. ...
