The value of adding commissioning to your project and why you shouldn’t expect any less!
Experience and research show that commissioning has the potential to bring significant value to a project. By hiring a commissioning agent just to comply with code or to check the box on a scorecard, owners and project teams miss out on the real potential they have at hand to deliver high-quality buildings and systems, with functionalities as designed and expected by the owner.
This class demystifies the varieties of commissioning requirements and options and instructs on how to apply commissioning to maximize value to a project. Starting with the process for LEEDv4 BD+C Fundamental and Enhanced Commissioning, the presentation explains the approach and integration during the design, construction, and occupancy phases. The presentation then describes the benefits of Monitoring-Based and Building Enclosure Commissioning and how energy modeling, can create synergies with the Commissioning process. The presentation is backed by real-world examples from projects in the United States and Europe and includes recent survey results on the costs and benefits of Commissioning.
Course objectives:
- Understand how to meet LEEDv4 BD+C Commissioning requirements to maximize value – improved design, earlier identification and resolution of construction issues, and optimized building operation.
- Understand the approach and value of LEEDv4 BD+C Enhanced Commissioning Option 1 Path 2 – Monitoring-Based Commissioning and Option 2 Building Enclosure.
- Utilize synergies between LEEDv4 BD+C Fundamental and Enhanced Commissioning Energy Modeling within Minimum Energy Performance and Optimize Energy Performance.
- Quantify costs and benefits of implementing Commissioning early in projects.
