E&M Commissioning
by Mr John Herbert | Director
Commissioning
Commissioning and Retro-Commissioning fine tunes a buildings
performance, adding capital value, lower operating costs,
and improving comfort conditions for the occupants.
All too often commissioning is overlooked viewed as the last
obstacle to payment, something that needs to be conducted
swiftly as possible, with little knowledge of the longer term
impact on building operations.
Properly conducted commissioning ensures that the systems
operate as intended creating comfortable environment for
your employees.
Retro-Commissioning
Over time your organisation and its needs will change and
evolve. However, the E&M systems and particularly the
HVAC systems are often over looked - its like running your
car for thirty years without a tune-up.
Re-Commissioning is the equivalent of that essential tune-up,
lowering operating costs, recovering performance, improving
comfort, and importantly rediscovering lost productivity.
Kelcroft advises organisations how to get the most from their existing HVAC
systems.
With energy costs escalating saving
energy is foremost in the minds of many building owners and facility managers.
But the real question is how can energy be saved, and lower costs achieved
without causing other problems? Where can an energy-saving project compete
for the same limited dollars an owner has available? One answer may be
retro-commissioning!
Retro-commissioning is a systematic procedure to identifying operational and
maintenance improvements for existing buildings and for ensuring their continued
performance over time.
Would you run your car for thirty years without an annual service? then why run your buildings that way?
Retro-commissioning process intends not only to optimize how equipment and
systems operate, but also to optimise how the all the various systems function
together, including the building envelope in an operational setting.
Although retro-commissioning may include recommendations for
capital improvements, the primary focus is O&M activities
and diagnostic testing to optimise the E&M systems.
Seven good reasons to recommend retro-commissioning process include:
- Reducing energy and demand costs
- Improving facility operation and maintenance
- Bring equipment to its proper operational state
- Increasing equipment life, lowering the total cost of ownership
- Improving indoor air quality
- Reducing complaints and increasing tenant satisfaction
- Reduce staff time spent on emergency calls
Independent Validation
Kelcroft helps organisations independently monitoring and validate commissioning activities, acting as independent eyes and ears for the entire process from initial Commissioning planning through to commissioning fieldwork, execution, and most importantly O&M documentation.
