What does continuous commissioning mean?

Continuous commissioning is an ongoing process to evaluate a building’s energy performance based on continuous monitoring of data from baseline to operating. It is an effective approach to resolve operating issues, improve occupants’ comfort levels, optimize performance for commercial buildings.

How does BMS help you in a system audit?

Nowadays, advanced BMS have the capability to collect and store data from submeters, sensors and actuators, carry out data and performance analysis and diagnosis, investigate trends and patterns and aid in the decision making.

What is retro commissioning?

Retrocommissioning is the same systematic process applied to existing buildings that have never been commissioned to ensure that their systems can be operated and maintained according to the owner’s needs.

What does CX mean in construction?

Building commissioning
Building commissioning (Cx) is an integrated, systematic process to ensure, through documented verification, that all building systems perform interactively according to the “Design Intent”.

What is energy commissioning?

Building commissioning is a quality assurance process. This process begins during design and continues through occupancy. Commissioning verifies that the new building and its systems are planned, designed, installed, tested, operated, and maintained as the owner intended.

What is monitoring based commissioning?

The Monitoring-based commissioning (MBCx) program takes commissioning to the next level by using software to collect, analyze, and report data to optimize building energy performance and efficiency. This program is right for customers who are prepared to work with a team to build and use the analytics to drive actions.

What is the difference between BMS and CMS?

These two kinds of systems (BMS and CMS) are designed to achieve very different goals. A CMS records data for compliance and sends alerts to personnel, whereas a BMS can control multiple systems in buildings, or a network of buildings. Problems can occur when a BMS is used where a CMS is required.

What are RCx projects?

So, what is Retro-commissioning (RCx)? RCx is a systematic review of an existing building’s control systems in order to keep the facility operating according to the owner’s requirements. It focuses on the controls of the building’s primary energy-using equipment: the HVAC systems.

What is a commissioning system?

Commissioning refers to the process of bringing an item into operation and ensuring that it is in good working order. On building projects, this refers primarily to building services.
