Advanced building controls and the objectives of LEED® creates a unique dilema in addressing system complexity into the facility control systems and energy technologies. One could say that LEED® breeds complexity! Without a comprehensive commissioning protocol, the objectives of the energy efficiency measures used to obtain points for LEED’s® energy performance credit can get lost. The intent of commissioning requirements set forth by the LEED® process is to bridge the gap between complex design objectives, proper system installation, set-up and configuration and facility O&M.
Choosing the right Commissioning Authority for your LEED® project can be the difference between your facilities investment in technology and your return on investment. Critical System Testing has the documented experience in greater than 100 high performance buildings and data center commissioning projects. As the LEED® commissioning authority, CST provides the background that will be independent of the work of design and construction, but the teamwork “know how” to make a project delivery successful.
