Commissioning
Building Commissioning is a 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.
