Description
Building Commissioning is a means to hold everyone accountable for their piece of the project from its first conceptual idea through its successful operation. This one-day course will provide the necessary guidance for the execution of a successful Building Commissioning program. The coursework covers fundamental concepts of Commissioning, step-by-step information on each aspect of a typical new construction commissioning process, and when and how each step of the process is achieved. The first part of this course provides a detailed definition of commissioning, how it works, and who is involved in the process. The second part of this course presents the application of commissioning through LEED and Energy Star for Buildings. You do not need any prior experience or knowledge about Commissioning. Being familiar with HVAC Systems, building envelope, and the building construction industry will be helpful.
