Building commissioning is the process of ensuring that new building systems are designed, installed, tested, and capable of being operated and maintained according to the owner's intent, requirements, and operational needs. Commissioning can also restore existing buildings to high productivity through renovation, upgrade and tune-up of existing systems.
