One of the topics that is covered in the Existing Building Commissioning Essentials course is how to approach energy efficiency projects.

 

Why is existing building commissioning relevant in this context?

 

First, EBCx refers to the process of testing an existing facility's systems and equipment to ensure they are still functioning as designed and intended. Having a clear understanding of how systems are functioning is crucial to being able to measure the impact of any energy efficiency project.

 

Second, identifying equipment that isn't performing properly and making the necessary adjustments to improve efficiency and comfort in a building allows building owners or managers to implement the findings of their initial investigation.
