Commissioning Services (DEDC-Cx)
Commissioning is a systematic process of quality control and assurance. Commissioning provides documented confirmation that a facility fulfills the functional and performance requirements of the building owner, occupants, and operators. The commissioning process establishes and documents the client's criteria for system function, performance, and maintainability and verifies and documents compliance with these criteria throughout design, construction, start-up, and the initial period of operation.
As mechanical/electrical systems have become more sophisticated, building owners and operators, contractors and mechanical and electrical contractors have determined that there is a need for formal commissioning of building systems. The commissioning process helps to alleviate operational issues before they become a problem. In response to that need, DEDC is committed to providing Commissioning Services (DEDC-Cx) to our customers and partners. We are fully Certified by the Certified Building Commissioning Professionals Program and strongly believe in the process outlined by the CBCP.
