Commissioning, explained.

Plain-English guides to how commissioning works, what it costs, when it's required, and how to fund it — plus a free estimator. Everything an owner, developer, or builder needs to make a confident decision.

Systems integration

Making BAS, fire, lighting, low-voltage, and access control work as one — we help you define what you need and advocate it to your design team.

What is commissioning?

The plain-English basics — what commissioning is, what a commissioning agent does, and the process from design to occupancy.

How we work

Why the best provider isn't the closest one — most Cx is remote, and you hire the most qualified firm for a small travel premium.

What commissioning costs

How fees are priced, what drives them, and how to budget — with a free estimator.

Requirements — code, state & federal

Energy-code commissioning by state (OR, WA, NV, CA, AZ, HI) plus federal agencies (GSA, DoD, VA, NPS and more).

LEED commissioning

Fundamental vs. Enhanced Cx, monitoring-based and envelope options, and who can serve as the commissioning authority.

Utility incentives

Programs that fund commissioning and retro-commissioning across the western U.S., state by state.

Retro-commissioning & MBCx

Tune up an existing building and keep it performing with data — RCx, re-Cx, and monitoring-based commissioning.

Building envelope Cx (BECx)

Commissioning the enclosure — air, water, and thermal control — coordinated through our envelope specialist partner.
