- Construction costs are reduced by 1-3%
- Annual operating costs are lowered by 8-20%
- $1 invested in commissioning saves $4 in operating & maintenance costs
- Continual commissioning saves an additional 15-25% in operating costs over just initial commissioning

"Your commissioning people in the field had a high level of knowledge about the design, which was particularly helpful. Your on-going participation in the construction meetings to champion commissioning, including the open-issues list, was also helpful. I also found your controls engineer highly qualified and thorough."

“I wanted to let you know that we felt the commissioning process that you implemented at the Calhoun project really aided our quality control efforts. We always try to avoid a customer needing to call us back to fix something after we have left a job. The workbook sheets had all the appropriate check-offs for the equipment installed and made it easier to stay organized as to which items had been fully inspected or needed a final check.”
-- Stephan Banta, Project Manager,
Banta Electrical Contractors, Cleves, Ohio
“We feel the commissioning program utilized at the Calhoun Garage Project proved to be beneficial for everyone involved. I would not hesitate to recommend it for future projects. By reviewing each system with the owner and commissioning agent, there leaves little question as to the completeness and quality of the installation.”
