Site commissioning, one of the most important topics in building management, is the process of ensuring that a building performs according to its design intent and the needs of its owners and occupants (Anderson, 1997). Although ideally begun during the initial planning stages of a building, site commissioning continues to be inconsistent. Most buildings today do not undergo a complete commissioning process.
Despite the growing evidence base supporting the benefits of site commission, many new buildings are completed without the thorough remediation of operating problems, documentation, and training required for overall efficiency. Commissioning of existing buildings (including review of electrical, mechanical, and other control systems) can result in a more energy-efficient building, improved space comfort, better air quality, and an overall increased owner and tenant satisfaction.
At Richardson Building Diagnostics, we are committed to providing the highest quality building inspection services available, before, during, and after the site commissioning process - whether commercial/industrial inspections, infrared building surveys, infrared roof surveys, infrared electro-mechanical surveys, or infrared data center surveys. Our professionally trained, certified thermographers meet and exceed industry standards and the expectations of our client base.
The use of infrared thermography technology during the site commissioning process can increase building efficiency, by improving the function of electrical, mechanical, and other control systems. Infrared thermography technology can detect problems not otherwise found with traditional inspection methods. The use of infrared inspection systems is a cost-effective method for finding problems in the early stages, preventing equipment failure, property damage, or injury.
