Commissioning (Cx) New Construction

Healthy Buildings’ Commissioning (Cx) Approach

Whether simple, complex or somewhere in between all buildings can benefit from a systematic Commissioning process. Beginning in the design phase and continuing post-occupancy, Cx is a methodical step-by-step process to ensure new buildings are designed, built and operated to achieve increasingly stringent performance targets and Owner’s Project Requirements.

The key to any successful Cx effort is teamwork. Healthy Buildings works purposely to develop and maintain a collaborative approach bridging the owner, design and construction teams, equipment manufacturers, vendors and relevant third parties together getting everyone involved. In the role of commissioning agent (CA) we see ourselves as part of the team and a technical resource with our role to facilitate the delivery of the best possible building systems operations.

Benefits

We bring immediate value through Cx by improving the construction process by reducing cost and increasing efficiency. Many design and construction teams view commissioning as a chore and appreciate our years of hand-on experience. This unique combination of design and real world operations gives us an edge to identify and resolve potential issues during the design phase, while the project is still on paper rather than after construction, when it becomes more difficult to correct and more costly. Additionally when issues do arise, instead of spending valuable time passing blame Healthy Buildings offers an independent opinion to focus on a business minded solution instead of pointing fingers to delay the process and project schedule.
