Why Retro-commissioning?
Output (loading) changes with a lot of parameters (e.g. weather, internal utilization,..) ;
Equipment and systems with various performance characteristics;
Performance of equipment changes over time.
In so doing, we could get :
Better understanding on operational performance of equipment / system efficiency;
Better opportunities for optimizing total system energy performance;
Better estimate of the cost / benefits for capital investment on retro-fitting and asset renewal.
Retro-commissioning of Building Facilities and Systems (Part 2)
Benefits of RCx
The major benefits of RCx, without considerable time and efforts, are :
Lower operating utility cost (OPEX) by reducing energy wastage;
Reduced investment cost (CAPEX) to reduce energy consumption;
Maximized useful equipment life, reducing asset replacement cycles to lessen growing environmental
impacts;
Enhanced quality of indoor operating environment, better control of temperature and humidity.

A minimum of 10 hours should fall within the type of education and training, of which at least 4 hours
