...and problems with temperature control and indoor air quality, long term maintenance problems, mold and moisture intrusion and other operational issues. All are candidates for retro-commissioning which can provide attractive and sometimes dramatic financial returns to building owners.
Retro-commissioning (RCx) is a systematic, documented process, often combined with level I, II or III energy audits, that identifies low to medium cost operational and maintenance improvements in existing buildings to reduce utility costs, improve maintenance, enhance occupant comfort and to restore buildings to peak operating efficiency based on the current usage. Retro-commissioning typically focuses on energy consuming equipment such as mechanical systems, lighting and system controls. Generally existing system performance is optimized rather than relying on major equipment replacement. Typical results include lower utility bills, improved indoor air quality, improved occupant comfort and resource efficiency.
