Introduction:
Building commissioning is a critical process that ensures building systems are designed, installed, and operated to meet the owner’s requirements. It involves a systematic process of verifying and documenting that all building systems perform interactively according to the design intent and the owner’s operational needs. Building commissioning has been shown to provide numerous benefits, including improved energy efficiency, reduced operating costs, enhanced occupant comfort, and increased building performance.
One of the key aspects of building commissioning is the return on investment (ROI) it offers to building owners and operators. Understanding the ROI of building commissioning is essential for decision-makers to justify the investment in commissioning services. This project research aims to investigate the ROI of building commissioning and provide insights into the financial benefits it can offer to building owners and operators.
