Building commissioning is a systematic documented process that helps ensure public facilities operate efficiently.
The DES Program Provides:
Professional Expertise: We help solve building problems, save energy and create a healthy and comfortable working environment.
Economical and Comprehensive Process: Project payback is typically 1-2 years. Customers receive project oversight and guidance throughout the entire process.
Prequalified Commissioning Firms: No need to advertise, customers choose from prequalified, reliable commissioning firms.
