Understanding Continuous Building Systems Commissioning

Posted by Brian Thumann on

Explore the Energy Savings, Operational Improvements, and Uptime Benefits Continuous Building Systems Commissioning refers to the ongoing process of monitoring, evaluating, and optimizing building systems to ensure energy efficiency and operational performance. Unlike traditional commissioning, which focuses on ensuring equipment works as designed at post-installation, continuous building systems commissioning is a proactive, ongoing data driven approach aimed at improving performance over the entire lifespan of a building. The essence of continuous building systems commissioning lies in its frequentative process, where anomalies or inefficiencies are identified, investigated, and resolved continuously - thereby maintaining and enhancing the building's energy efficiency profile and...

Microgrids in Action

Posted by Brian Thumann on

A microgrid is a small scale electricity grid that can operate independently from the main power grid. It is typically used to provide power to a small community or a single building, and it can incorporate a variety of different energy sources, such as solar panels, wind turbines, and fossil fuel generators.  It can utilize battery storage to add to the Microgrid’s resiliency. There are several different types of microgrids each with its own unique characteristics and applications.One type of microgrid is the stand alone microgrid which is not connected to the main power grid. These systems are often used...
