Retro Commissioning (Testing and Balancing)
Improving Your Building's Operation and Maintenance
Retro-commissioning identifies the condition of the systems within existing structures and seeks to uncover problems and document inefficiencies, as well as identify energy-saving and other opportunities for improvement.
Retro-commissioning's goal is to provide documentation for clients on how to improve the way a building's equipment and systems function together. Retro-commissioning can uncover problems which occurred during construction or operation of an existing building, but can also reveal issues that have developed during the life of the structure.
Overview of TAB-Related Retro-Commissioning Activities:
- Review existing systems and related documentation
- Review retro-commissioning plan proposed for the implementation
- Perform functional tests and calibration of existing components of each air or hydronic system included in the retro-commissioning plan
- Analyze the test data for possible "simple fixes" for existing functional issues
Systems which may be included in the TAB scope of work for the Retro-Commissioning Process:
-
- Building automation system, including controlled devices and sensors
- Cooling systems
- Central cooling plant
- Primary air-handling units (AHUs)
- Terminal units
