Commissioning

A commissioning agent’s job is to ensure that a building’s systems and performance match the owner’s expectations, from initial design to completion. 

To be commissioned, a building must pass several milestones. From building design review, installation verification, functional performance testing, ongoing efficiency verification, LEED Accreditation, and CALGreen Commissioning, 3C has you covered.
