Event Description

Existing Building Commissioning, also known as retrocommissioning, helps owners and operators better understand these operational and budget variances by identifying where systems are no longer functioning as intended.

Often described as a “tune-up” for existing buildings, existing building commissioning can help:
– Reduce unexpected utility and maintenance costs
– Improve alignment between operating expenses and annual budgets
– Identify underperforming or failing equipment
– Improve occupant comfort and system reliability
– Extend the life of existing building systems
– Support compliance planning for Boston BERDO and Massachusetts Building Performance Standards (BPS)

Through real-world examples, this 1-hour webinar will explore how existing building commissioning helps to uncover operational inefficiencies, and how programs like Mass Save can help fund assessments and correction measures.

Designed for building owners, operators, facility managers, sustainability managers, consultants, and teams working with existing buildings in Massachusetts, participants will leave with clear next steps for improving operations using the systems already in place.

Learning Objectives - 

1. Understand the Existing Building Commissioning (EBCx) process and how it supports compliance with Building Performance Standards (BPS)
2. Identify common operational inefficiencies using industry best practices for system diagnostics
3. Learn how Mass Save incentives can offset engineering study and implementation costs
4. Apply industry best practices to develop an EBCx roadmap aligned with BPS targets
