Many Systems are interconnected and interact with other Systems such as electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. They also include subsystems (such as HVAC controls). The high cost of energy and the current concerns about indoor air quality and environmental pollution reinforces the need to ensure the Building Systems operate in conformity with the requirements of the design specification.
Updating or Modifying Existing Building or
System Design for Optimal Performance
One of the goals of Facility Services, Inc.'s is to help reduce the high cost of energy. An energy analysis of existing buildings might indicate the need for a more efficient heating and cooling system, a more efficient lighting system, or simply balancing the thermal distribution system. Commissioning can also include testing equipment to make sure it works properly and meets operational specifications.
