| |New Building Commissioning  | |

| |Commissioning (Cx) is increasingly recognized as an effective process to improve building | |

| |performance, reduce energy use and improve indoor air quality, occupant comfort and | |

| |productivity. The Department of Energy estimates that more than $40 million in potential energy | |

| |savings could be gained by commissioning only one percent of existing buildings greater than | |

| |25,000 square feet. Cx is a quality assurance process for buildings from pre-design through | |

| |design, construction, and operations. It involves achieving, verifying, and documenting the | |

| |performance of each system to meet a building's operational needs within the capabilities of the| |

| |documented design and equipment capacities, according to the owner's functional criteria. Cx | |

| |includes preparing and enhancing building documentation and training operation and maintenance | |

| |personnel. The result should be fully functional systems that can be properly operated and | |

| |maintained throughout the life of the building. (ASHRAE, 2004) | |

| |This workshop provides an overview of the Cx process, giving an in-depth understanding of the | |

| |roles of the owner, account executive, contractor and Cx provider. It explains the value of | |

| |commissioning and offers a broad overview of the commissioning industry. | |

| |Education Credits: 3 AIA learning units. | |

| |Retro-Commissioning (RCx) Fundamentals | |

| |RCx applies a systematic process for improving an existing building's performance. It entails a | |

| |rigorous investigation using a whole building systems approach to identify problems and | |

| |integration issues. The primary focus is to identify operational improvements in order to obtain| |

| |occupant comfort and energy savings. Performed alone or in concert with a retrofit project, | |

| |typical energy cost savings for RCx often achieve a simple payback of less than two years. This| |

| |workshop will explain what is involved in RCx and why the process should be considered. Case | |

| |studies are presented to demonstrate energy efficiency gains and other cost savings from | |

| |commissioning, as well as typical pay-back rates. In addition, the workshop covers how to | |

| |select a retro-commissioning provider, how to go through the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) | |

| |process and how to integrate retro-commissioning into the LEED® standard for existing buildings.| |

| |Education Credits: 3 AIA learning units. | |
