Résumé

Energy efficiency and the Australian Building Greenhouse Rating (ABGR) scheme represent a challenge for the construction industry to look beyond basic thermal comfort in office buildings to energy efficient buildings. Controls play an important role in achieving energy efficiency in mechanical systems that deliver air conditioning, heating and ventilation. However, the commissioning to controls is not always done properly or carried out systematically. This causes poor cost-occupancy energy performance. The article explores some of the reasons for deficiencies in commissioning controls. It then outlines a process for successful a tool to ensure proper commissioning from the outset. It incorporates a plan which includes clear activities and milestones for delivery and post-occupancy. This approach to commissioning controls will avoid the situation that it so common today, attempting to commission a building in haste while it is rapidly coming to completion.
