Few measures are more important to the building energy improvement process than energy audits and retro-commissioning.  Like routine service on an automobile, these measures can identify building energy performance issues, assess opportunities to improve performance and fine-tune systems to ensure maximum energy efficiency.

CES recently performed HVAC Preventative Maintenance and Retro-Commissioning (RCx) services at a 48,551 square foot building in Brandon, Florida.  Energy efficiency measures were implemented resulting in an annual energy savings of 8% or $60,980 over five years.  The simple payback was four months.

Thank you to everyone who attended the CES Commissioning Lunch & Learn last Friday.  I hope you left with a good understanding of what Commissioning is and how your facility and organazation can benefit from Commissioning.  I also hope that the time we spent exploring commissioning scenarios will help you identify Commissioning opportunities in your organization.

Building out of sync?  The costs can add up.  

The challenges are common:  changing occupant needs, space repurposing, renovations and aging systems.  As a result, managing your building's energy use can be complex.
