SPANGDAHLEM, GERMANY
The Air Force is required to save energy and will do so in part by operating and maintaining heating and cooling systems in the most overall energy-efficient and economical manner possible. To efficiently achieve energy savings, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems controlled by an Energy Management Control System (EMCS) should operate to maintain appropriate temperatures and humidity levels according to facility usage type and schedules. The SSR Commisioning team provided commissioning specifications, conducted commisionability plan reviews, and prepared preliminary and final design phase commissioning plans.
