3. Ongoing Commissioning Systems
The benefits of building commissioning are obvious. It is also obvious that six months later many of the benefits can be lost. Ongoing commissioning is a program that works to ensure the performance of the building is maintained even after the commissioner leaves. Through the electronic collection of operating data the program evaluates system performance and records, advises and corrects to maintain system efficiency. Energy performance and occupant comfort are two of the prime goals of an ongoing
commissioning program.
