Buildingcommissioningaddresses this hidden waste through systematic testing and optimization ofbuildingsystems. A landmark study by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory analyzing 1,500 commercialbuildingsfound thatcommissioningdelivers medianenergysavings of 16% in existingbuildingsat a cost of just $0.26 per square foot – with payback periods under two years. More than 40 U.S ...
Energy, water, productivity, and operational savings resulting fromcommissioningoffsets the cost of implementing abuildingcommissioningprocess. Recent studies indicate that on average, operating costs of a commissionedbuildingrange from 8–20% below that of a non-commis sionedbuilding.
