Over time, even the most carefully designed buildings can start to drift from their original intent. Equipment ages, occupancy patterns change, and upgrades or repairs can unintentionally affect system performance. The result? Higher energy bills, frustrated occupants, and unnecessary wear on your building systems.
That’s where retro-commissioning can be beneficial. Unlike traditional commissioning, which happens during new construction, retro-commissioning focuses on existing buildings. It’s a targeted effort to evaluate and optimize your building’s systems so they operate efficiently and reliably.
If your facility is aging or you’re planning upgrades, retro-commissioning can help you:
- Identify inefficient system operation that may be driving up energy costs.
- Spot opportunities for smoother integration with future upgrades.
- Update control strategies to better match current occupancy, addressing comfort and ventilation issues.
- Correct or create outdated or missing system documentation.
A well-executed retro-commissioning project ensures your building is not only running efficiently today but is also prepared for the future. It’s a smart investment in energy savings, occupant comfort, and system longevity.
