Description:

Commissioning is a pre-requisite for qualifying a building for LEED certification, and this certification has been shown to be a powerful draw for the ever-expanding population of socially responsible investors. Interoperable Control systems are seeing increasing use as tools to limit the re-training required by diverse control system protocols, to streamline the remote monitoring process and to allow the competitive procurement of new building controls for projects with existing proprietary control systems. Ronald Wilkinson will touch on the latest developments that can improve the commissioning process and lay the foundation for sustainable high building performance while being environmentally and energy conscious.
