Just as music instruments such as a violins or pianos require regular tuning to sound good and perform as required, the same principle applies to buildings.
Failure to correctly complete the commissioning of engineering systems frequently results in poor performing facilities, both in terms of their operational and energy performance. For this reason, it is essential that the commissioning process is well managed and that all testing is verified. DeltaQ members have several years’ experience in managing the commissioning process for optimum outcomes.
While commissioning is essential to ensure the equipment and systems are working correctly, tuning is the process where we optimise the operation of the equipment to achieve the best “fit” of thermal comfort for occupants and minimise energy use. Tuning goes well beyond managing defects during the DLP and we have the experience and technical knowledge to coordinate the construction and building management teams to achieve the desired performance levels.
