Commissioning and Retro-Commissioning

Building commissioning is an important aspect of new construction projects as a process of ensuring that new buildings and their systems perform as designed.
Unfortunately, most buildings have never gone through any type of commissioning or quality assurance process and are therefore performing well below their potential. Retro-commissioning is like a building "tune-up."
