AIANH Chapter Partner, Resilient Buildings Group, presents noon-time webinar
This course introduces commissioning (Cx) and retro-commissioning (RCx) of building envelope, HVAC, lighting controls, etc. For the AIA audience of architects, we will elaborate on the "how, when, and why" of commissioning, including modern programmatic requirements (e.g. ENERGY STAR, LEED, Passive House). After giving an overview, we will provide an in-depth analysis of several case studies to exemplify the benefits and lessons learned. This will include energy savings, cost reductions, and comfort improvements.

Learning Objectives
Attendees will learn the appropriate applications of commissioning and the issues that can be avoided by incorporating it into a variety of building projects.
Attendees will see the commissioning technologies and equipment used in action and discover the useful findings they are capable of providing.
Attendees will gain an in-depth understanding of the various testing and reporting methods used in commissioning and how the deliverables benefit the owner and the team.
Attendees will discover how commissioning is the "gift that keeps on giving" in the post-occupancy phase, as it provides troubleshooting, maintenance, and retesting resources.
