Retro Commissioning (RCx)

As a large commercial and industrial (C&I) customer, you can enhance your building management systems and controls through energy efficiency measures. By undergoing a comprehensive evaluation of your facilities, you ensure your building systems perform at peak efficiency.

The process begins with a detailed building audit, followed by developing an actionable plan and a Measurement and Verification (M&V) plan designed to maintain ongoing energy efficiency. Incentives cover up to 100% of the initial costs associated with conducting the necessary ASHRAE-level audit, with the total project incentive will be capped at 70% of the overall project expenses. You may also receive a custom incentive for implementing energy efficiency measures identified during the audit.

RCx services include:

  • Optimizing chiller and boiler operations to better match building load conditions
  • Reducing ventilation in over-ventilated areas
  • Fixing ventilation dampers that are open when they shouldn’t be, or vice versa
  • Decreasing supply air pressure setpoints and rebalancing systems
  • Aligning zone temperature setpoints to reflect the building’s actual operating schedule
