Commissioning with Solarc

SOLARC’s approach to commissioning is flexible and comprehensive. Our goal is to integrate with the project team and make efficient use of everyone’s time and resources while completing a thorough and complete commissioning effort.  Commissioning is a quality assurance process for the installation and performance of systems in a building. We begin with development of a Commissioning Plan that includes a detailed outline of the commissioning process, schedules, project participants and their roles and responsibilities. We review information provided by the architect, engineers and contractors to ensure integrity of design intent. We coordinate with the construction team to develop and execute performance verification tests. The intensity of the tests and verification of the equipment being commissioned is adjusted to match the level of complexity and the criticality of the systems. We document the process result with ongoing commissioning issues logs, memoranda, and reports.
