Maximizing Energy Efficiency in Buildings

Renewable Energy & Sustainability · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900

Overview

Building commissioning has emerged as the preferred method of ensuring that building systems are installed and operated to provide the performance envisioned by the designer. While most commissioning processes focus on bringing building operation to the original design intent, Continuous Commissioning focuses on optimizing HVAC system operation and control for the existing building conditions. It is an ongoing process to resolve operating problems, improve comfort, optimize energy use and identify retrofits for existing commercial and institutional buildings and central plant facilities.
