This is an excerpt from a Buildings article.
Want to improve your building’s performance but don’t know where to
start? Use existing building commissioning (EBCx) to shine a spotlight
on inefficiencies and create a list of
improvement options.
Whether your building is 5 or 50 years old, chances are the property
has been modified over time – changes to interior layout, shifts in
occupancy, or structural alterations. These adjustments can weaken
performance by slowly chipping away at energy usage, water consumption, equipment life, and occupant comfort.
“The purpose of existing building commissioning is to use a
structured process to confirm that the building is operating in a manner
that meets the current facility requirements,” explains Paul Levy, a
certified commissioning professional with Kirlin Mechanical Services, a
subsidiary of the John J. Kirlin Group.
