Valuing Commissioning To Improve The Predictive Ability of Energy Modelling
The practice of commissioning is becoming popular with the increasing demand for zero carbon building. Many projects, however, conduct commissioning only for the green building certification while the true value of commissioning is overlooked. The purpose of this research is to demonstrate the value of commissioning, firstly to improve the predictive ability of energy modelling, and secondly to enhance the performance of building energy consumption systems.
The focus of this study includes researching the benefits of HVAC commissioning for commercial buildings in China. Green building design and construction, and energy conservation practice will also be looked at.
