Building Commissioning / LEED Commissioning / Retro-Commissioning
Synergy Engineering is a qualified building commissioning provider offers commissioning
services that are in compliance with the ASHRAE Guideline 0 “Commissioning Process”,
the U.S. Green Building’s Council (USGBC) LEED manual commissioning guidance.
Commissioning is a quality-oriented process for achieving, verifying and documenting that
the performance of the facilities, systems and assemblies meet defined objectives and
the Owner’s Project Requirements.
Commissioning is not a product but a process, therefore the value of commissioning
process is greatly dependent by the performance of the single individuals working on your
project.
The commissioning process integrates and enhances the traditionally separate functions
of design peer review, design and construction coordination, equipment startup, control
system calibration, testing, adjusting and balancing, equipment documentation and facility
staff training, and adds the activities of documented functional testing and verification.
There are numbers of factors that differentiate Synergy Engineering and our approach to
commissioning:
Pre-design phase:
We offer increased emphasis on development and facilitation of the Owner’s Project
Requirements (OPR), defining functional requirements of a project and expectations of
how it will be used and operated. OPR provides the benchmark against which design,
construction and project operating performance can be measured.
Design phase:
Understanding the great financial benefits that proper and timely design reviews bring to
our clients, we have chosen more comprehensive and quality based commissioning
model that goes far beyond just identifying design elements that prevent functional testing,
commissionability and maintenance of the system. Our commissioning model includes:
• Comprehensive review of design documents against Owners Project Requirements.
• Utilizing as a reviewer(s) the most senior individuals with at least 10 years experience
in commissioning, operations, design, energy management and construction.
• Commissioning process design reviews will occur 4 (four) different times during the
project, at 100% schematic design, 100% of design development, 95% complete
construction documents and 100% of issued for bid documents.
• Constructability review to minimize potential change orders.
• Quality control review that identifies possibly confusing or conflicting information in the
contract documents.
• Value engineering review that does not compromise owner’s project requirements.
Construction phase:
• Attending pre-bid conferences to Review of Comprehensive review of design against
Owners Project Requirements.
Challenge in commissioning lies not as much in commissioning components, but in
commissioning an assembly of components (system) to function repeatedly and reliably
in integrated fashion under every conceivable operating condition.
