Description

Commissioning for net-zero new construction and high efficiency buildings is not simple or easy. This presentation identifies many of the most common issues commissioning providers may find on these projects, ranging all the way from faulty installations and controls to issues with energy collection, storage and recovery systems. You will learn about other activities such as M&V you might encounter while commissioning for net zero (and how to leverage them), how to identify strategies for cost-effective commissioning, and where owners might want to draw the line. The two CCP-certified presenters will end the presentation with some real life examples that allow the audience to try identifying issues.
