Using Building Commissioning to Improve Performance in State Buildings
Abstract
Using the commissioning process, states are
beginning to improve and optimize their existing
building stock as well as ensure that their new
construction projects perform according to design.
This paper reports on the progress a number of states
are making in the area of commissioning for both
new construction and existing buildings. It discusses
the various programmatic approaches they are using
to incorporate commissioning into state energy
management programs and new construction
projects. It also reports the results of a recent survey
of members of the National Association of State
Facility Administrators (NASFA) on their use and
understanding of commissioning for new
construction and existing buildings. The results of
two commissioning case studies, one for a new
construction project in the State of Montana and one
for an existing building in the State of Tennessee are
reviewed. Key Words: Commissioning, Survey.
