Re-commissioning and Retro-commissioning

Re-commissioning and retro commissioning Dubai- TCS

As soon as a building is operational, systems begin to wear. Even the most energy efficient, “green” building systems will start to go “gray” right away.

Recommissioning can take place sometime after the building becomes fully operational and once the building owner and operator have a more realistic picture of how the building is actually used in terms of hours and occupancy.

With recommissioning, the building operating and maintenance systems are examined and cleaned as needed, parts may be fixed or replaced, and systems reset as if they were being installed new.

A building that was never properly commissioned at the start can go through a retro-commissioning. The process is similar to recommissioning, but the building usually has been in use longer. For a building that was never properly commissioned, retro-commissioning offers the most benefit in terms of opportunities for cost savings and improving energy efficiency in commercial and industrial buildings, especially schools and hospitals because of how they are used.

With TCS expert commissioning, recommissioning or retro-commissioning services, we also educate the current building operating and maintenance staff on proper equipment use and maintenance. This helps ensure that systems will continue to run at maximum energy efficiency.

Retro-Commissioning Services: Revitalizing Building Performance

As buildings age, their systems naturally start to decline, resulting in inefficiencies that can greatly affect energy usage and operational expenses. Our Retro-Commissioning Services aim to tackle these issues by enhancing the performance of existing systems in buildings that have not received adequate commissioning from the beginning.

Understanding Retro-Commissioning

Retro-commissioning is a methodical approach designed to improve the efficiency of a building’s systems by pinpointing and addressing areas of underperformance. This service is especially advantageous for commercial and industrial establishments, such as schools and hospitals, where energy requirements are significant and operational challenges are prevalent. Through a comprehensive evaluation of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems, we verify that they operate effectively and correspond with contemporary usage trends.

The Retro-Commissioning Process

Our Retro-Commissioning Services encompass several essential steps:

  • Evaluation: We initiate the process with a thorough assessment of the building’s systems, focusing on energy consumption, occupancy trends, and equipment functionality.
  • Issue Identification: By identifying areas of inefficiency—such as obsolete controls, incorrect settings, or insufficient maintenance—we formulate targeted strategies to improve performance.
  • Solution Implementation: Our team offers practical recommendations, which may involve modifications to control sequences, necessary repairs, or equipment upgrades to enhance overall efficiency.
  • Verification: Following the implementation of changes, we perform subsequent evaluations to confirm that systems are functioning at peak performance and achieving the desired outcomes.

Enhancing Energy Efficiency

Utilizing our Retro-Commissioning Services not only resolves current operational challenges but also leads to substantial long-term energy savings. By fine-tuning the efficiency of existing systems, we assist in decreasing energy usage, reducing utility expenses, and lowering the carbon footprint of the building. This commitment to energy efficiency aligns with regulatory requirements and improves the sustainability credentials of your facility.

Educating Building Staff

An essential component of our Retro-Commissioning Services involves training building operations and maintenance personnel. We offer instruction on optimal equipment usage and maintenance practices, empowering your team to sustain peak performance well beyond the conclusion of our services. This dedication to staff training promotes a culture of energy efficiency and responsibility within your organization.

Benefits of Retro-Commissioning Services

Cost Reduction: By pinpointing and rectifying inefficiencies, facilities can achieve immediate decreases in energy expenses, leading to a more advantageous operating budget.

Prolonged Equipment Durability: Consistent retro-commissioning practices help to extend the lifespan of equipment by ensuring it functions within ideal parameters, thereby minimizing wear and tear.

Better Indoor Air Quality: Tackling issues related to ventilation and HVAC systems can significantly enhance indoor air quality, fostering health and comfort for building occupants. 

Increased Comfort: Optimized systems create a more pleasant environment by maintaining stable temperatures and appropriate humidity levels.

Data-Driven Decision-Making: The extensive data collected during the retro-commissioning process offers valuable insights that can guide future maintenance and capital improvement strategies.

Sustainability Goals

The adoption of retro-commissioning services is in harmony with sustainability efforts. By lowering energy usage and minimizing greenhouse gas emissions, buildings play a significant role in achieving environmental objectives and showcasing a dedication to sustainable practices. Numerous organizations are becoming more conscious of their ecological footprint and are actively pursuing methods to enhance their sustainability profiles, positioning retro-commissioning as a strategic option.

Continuous Improvement

The retro-commissioning process should be regarded as a continuous effort instead of a one-time event. By conducting regular retro-commissioning sessions, facilities can proactively tackle potential issues, adapt to changing usage patterns, and incorporate new technologies as they become available. This proactive approach ensures that buildings remain efficient and effective throughout their operational life.
