Summary

Even though a building may be designed with energy-efficient systems and achieves two LEED Platinum certifications, that is no guarantee that it will actually operate at maximum efficiency. Careful formal recommissioning, as a part of a LEED-EB effort, and continuous operational fine-tuning has resulted in The Christman Building’s ENERGY STAR rating increasing from 39 to 81 in one year, exceeding the original design goal of a 75 ENERGY STAR rating.
