Why Implement Commissioning?
Building commissioning is an important factor in the construction and maintenance of a high-performance building.
Commissioning during construction involves reviewing an entire building and its systems for compliance with design, code and improved operability. The commissioning process helps avoid problems during construction and reduces warranty issues.
LEED Certification
Commissioning is a prerequisite for any project pursuing LEED certification. LEED, or Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, is a green building certification program that recognizes best-in-class building strategies and practices across the globe.
LEED requires commissioning as a guarantee that the building process has been improved in terms of constructability, maintainability, and energy efficiency. Owners looking to go above and beyond the required commissioning standards can opt for Enhanced Commissioning, which counts for additional LEED credits.
