Problem Statement and Motivation
  • Though the benefits of commissioning (Cx) and
    retrocommissioning (RCx) protocols in the
    literature are numerous, they are principally
    anecdotal
  • Commissioning a building or systems within a
    building (e.g. decentralized heating, ventilating
    and air conditioning systems) is a method of
    reducing risk by ensuring that proper systems
    operation is achieved for the building owner
  • Quantification of the benefits of Cx is warranted

Technical Approach
Key Achievements and Future Goals
  • A literature review was conducted to determine
    the status of commissioning (Cx) and
    retrocommissioning (RCx) within the building and
    HVAC industries
  • Building simulation and other quantitative
    modeling tools will be utilized to identify
    proper applications for Cx and RCx and to
    quantify energy savings potential
  • Educational materials will be developed to
    educate building owners and operators, design
    engineers and HVAC contractors on the direct
    costs and benefits of Cx and RCx
  • The literature review is nearing completion
  • Building simulation protocols for this project
    are being developed
  • Educational materials and training seminar
    presentations will be developed to educate the
    market on the advantages and applications of Cx
    and RCx, including the recommended actions
    determined through the literature review and
    building simulations
