Key Steps in the Commissioning Process for New & Existing Buildings | October 29-30 | 11 AM- 2 PM EDT This introductory seminar focuses on how the building commissioning process can be applied cost-effectively to new construction and to existing facilities, with a strong emphasis on existing facilities applications. Learn the fundamentals of the commissioning process through each step of a new construction project, from predesign to occupancy and operations. The seminar discusses how the application of the commissioning process in existing facilities differs from new construction. The benefits of commissioning and how the process can improve the built environment, reduce environmental impacts through responsible resource utilization, improve the quality of design and construction, and raise the professional reputation of the entire commissioning team will be covered.
