Retro-Commissioning (RCx)

A cost-effective solution for an increasingly expensive problem.

Commission us to retro-commission you.

Servidyne can help improve your performance levels by studying your facilities and their energy conversion and consumption systems. Over time, these systems and the controls that operate them become less efficient, resulting in buildings that are less comfortable, less reliable, and more expensive to operate.

Retro-commissioning (RCx), the process of commissioning an existing building, offers property owners and building operators a way to improve building efficiency, comfort, and reliability. And the best part? These benefits go hand-in-hand with reduced energy consumption and lower operating costs. Plus, our retro-commissioning reports contain numerous low and no-cost improvement measures your maintenance staff can implement quickly.

How significant can retro-commissioning be? Recent estimates show that retro-commissioning could potentially yield $18 billion per year or more in savings to owners and operators of commercial buildings across the country.

Here are a few of the benefits of retro-commissioning provides:

For Property Owners & Building Operators

Reduced energy consumption and costs
Reduced environmental impact
Improved operating costs
Increased Net Operating Income
Get one step closer to green/sustainable building

For Your Building

Improved system operation – beyond preventive maintenance
Improved equipment performance
Increased O&M staff capabilities and expertise
Increased asset value

For Occupants

Improved occupant comfort
Improved indoor environmental quality (IEQ)
Improved building documentation
Fewer complaints

Here's how it works:

The first step in the process is to determine which buildings in your portfolio could gain the most from a retro-commissioning process.

Our engineers and analysts will help you decide where to start by working with you to gather, interpret, and compare as much information as possible. This involves an assessment of the entire building, reviewing your historical energy usage patterns, and interviewing occupants for additional insight.

Next we will monitor, evaluate and test your current systems for efficiency and offer solutions to restore them to their original performance levels.

Once the necessary repairs and adjustments are made, the systems will be retested and monitored to ensure the problem areas have been eliminated and maintained.

We even offer web-based management software like iTendant, to help deliver system maintenance on a scheduled basis.
