A Service That Guarantees a Monumental
Difference
Engineers and Architects design building systems to be functional, state-of-the-art, efficient and reliable, don't they?
How then could it be that the building owner or manager experiences poor performance from their mechanical and/or electrical systems? Some owners and managers don't even realize their system performance is poor, and could be improved!
FACT: 92% of buildings constructed have defects that will cost the building owner 300% more to live with, than the repairs will cost.
FACT: Nearly 70% of mechanical and electrical inefficiencies, flaws, or outright deficiencies in buildings originate in the installation and implementation process.
FACT: 94% of buildings experience high operating costs, occupant
discomfort, early system replacement costs, even construction
cost and schedule over-runs.
FACT: 65% of the time, the installation contractor is not the same as the servicing agent, the controls specialist, or the maintenance team.
FACT: 99% of the time, the contractor is only worried with a One Year Warranty while you are faced with a lifetime of problems.
Positive Results
Commissioning goes beyond testing and balancing. It goes beyond "punch list" completion. It extends beyond the "One Year Warranty thinking" and provides the building owner or manager a responsible view congruent with the life expectancy of the asset. Commissioning features vary with the type of project, but can include; system design review with an eye to long term servicing costs, functional testing, system integration evaluation, and installation oversight - items that are nearly always left out of the typical construction or operation process.
