Re-Commissioning (RCx) is another type of commissioning that occurs when a building that has already been commissioned undergoes another commissioning process. Like a vehicle, building systems do not improve with age, but require periodic “tune-ups”. Understanding that systems tend to shift from their as-installed conditions over time due to normal wear, user requests, and facility modifications, it is strongly recommended that building owners engage in re-commissioning their facilities every 3-5 years. A facility re-commissioning effort serves to assure operational efficiency and continued user satisfaction. Maintaining good O&M and occupant complaint records is key to the continued re-commissioning efforts.

Building EnergetiCx will work with building owners to re-commission existing building systems. Like Existing Building Commissioning, re-commissioning will involve a four step process that will include the planning phase, investigation phase, implementation phase and hand-off phase. Re-commissioning a building back to optimal operation can result in lower energy costs, improved system operation and reduced maintenance, and improved occupant comfort and productivity.
