Optimisation of Building Systems

Energy equipment and systems within a building can affect other equipment and systems. If one system is not at its optimal efficiency, it can affect all the other systems.

Commissioning of a new building or recommissioning of an existing building refer to systematic and holistic processes used to optimize inter-related systems, equipment and controls to increase energy efficiency. You can think of it like a tune up of your car.
