Commissioning
Building Commissioning is the systematic and documented
process of ensuring that the owner's operational needs are met,
building systems perform efficiently, and building operators are
properly trained. A seemingly simple concept, yet often left out in
the hectic rush to complete projects, resulting in years of
compounding operational and maintenance inefficiencies and extra
costs. Deficiencies such as design flaws, construction
defects, malfunctioning equipment, and deferred maintenance have a
host of ramifications, ranging from equipment failure, to
compromised indoor air quality and comfort, to unnecessarily
elevated energy use or under-performance of energy-efficiency
strategies.
Building commissioning can detect and remedy most deficiencies
before the impacts are realized. We have significant design and
hands-on experience with building mechanical and electrical systems
as an independent third party contractor hired by the owner. This
ensures the design is accurate and efficient and the contractor is
adhering to the requirements of the contract.
At JMT we can perform commissioning at any stage of a
project. During new construction we are often involved from
pre-design, planning through design, construction and acceptance.
If you have an existing building, opportunity also exists as we can
apply a systematic investigation process for improving and
optimizing that building's operation.
