Commissioning Services
Commissioning is the process for achieving, validating and documenting that the performance of building systems meets your design requirements.
A thorough Commissioning process will confirm that building systems and equipment are operating properly, allowing you to realize the benefits of:
- Improved indoor air quality, occupant comfort, and productivity
Improved building system control- Increased energy efficiency
- Improved system and equipment performance
- Decreased potential for owner liability (system failures)
- Reduced building operation and maintenance costs

Thermal Imaging:
Infrared thermography quickly locates thermal patterns that show the presence of insulation voids, the location of excessive air leakage in commercial/educational buildings, and abnormal heating associated with high resistance or excessive current flow in electrical equipment.
Thermography enables building owners to conserv
e energy, improve comfort and health, and save in the utility budget. The infrared radiation given off by a target is focused by the system optics onto a detector, which is sensitive to this invisible “heat” radiation and is then converted into a visual image. In this seemingly simple process, we are able, without contact, to see a heat image, or thermo-gram, that corresponds closely to the temperature of the target.
