Commissioning building stock is becoming a means of identifying energy-efficiency opportunities, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.
A technologically advanced approach to existing building and ongoing commissioning was developed by the Energy Systems Laboratory at Texas A&M University.
The process achieves paybacks of fewer than three years, returns on investment greater than 30 percent and energy savings between 15 and 35 percent.
The program is designed to improve the performance and efficiency of buildings by identifying, implementing and verifying specific energy-efficient control strategies without the need for excessive capital spending.
