Save Money & improve your Building’s performance

The Benefits of RetroCommissioning (RCx)

Instead of buying or building new facilities…

Some Owners are looking to save money on operating costs while improving the performance and lifetime of their existing buildings.

And the first step to doing so is through...

RetroCommissioning (RCx

verb: to explore and test a building’s mechanical systems to ensure that they’re functioning efficiently, and as designed, to support the current needs of the owner.

Because when mechanical and operating systems are performing well together

WHY RCx?

Because when mechanical and operating systems are performing well together there lies in the Universe… WHY

More years more tenants more money

This way to proof.

You’re big on proof.

We are, too.

But, We get it.

We have this really smart client.

he brought us a challenge:

Take his LEED Gold building

with an established Energy Star rating of 89

And increase its energy performance

oh, and save him money as a result.

oh, and save him money as a result. (No problem)

We WENT TO WORK. EXPLORING.

TESTING.

Looking for any and all operating inefficiencies

We discovered that the building wasn’t pressurizing efficiently

The hvac system was bringing in too much outdoor air all day long

With nowhere for it to go until the doors opened and the the building emptied for the night

not only was this causing an unnecessary build up of building pressure

it was just wasting money

WE MADE THE necessary system adjustments

Performed a thorough retest

THE RESULT?

A 12% SAVINGS on its hvac operating costs

Our client was pleased. you Will be, too.
