DESCRIPTION
This presentation is intended for members of the building design team and serves as both an introduction to the commissioning process and a guide to the design team’s responsibilities within it. It will outline each step of the commissioning process and explain how designers fulfill their roles at each stage. We will also highlight the benefits of commissioning, including improved occupant health and comfort, and energy savings for building owners, users, and occupants.
