What is Recommissioning?
Recommissioning is a process of fine-tuning a building's existing electromechanical systems including HVAC, lighting, ...).
It's tailored for facility managers, property owners, or real estate portfolio managers (such as those overseeing hospital complexes, shopping centers, universities, etc.) RCx addresses inefficiencies that may have developed over years of use, ensuring that operational sequences align with current needs.
Benefits of Recommissioning
- Reducing Greenhouse Gases (GHG): By addressing energy inefficiencies in building systems, you lower your energy consumption and consequently reduce your greenhouse gas emissions.
- Improving Occupant Comfort: By enhancing your systems, such as heating or air conditioning, you create a more comfortable living environment for your occupants.
- Lowering Operational Costs: By optimizing your building’s operations, you extend the lifespan of your equipment and avoid early replacement expenses.
How Do We Proceed?
At Equans Services, we provide an integrated and methodical approach to optimizing your facility's performance.
- Planning: Initially, we conduct a comprehensive energy audit of your building to pinpoint the most energy-intensive areas and understand the consumption patterns of your premises. Based on this, we develop a detailed and itemized action plan.
- Investigation : Our experts meticulously examine every system (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) to identify low-investment measures that can be swiftly implemented. Typically, we pinpoint over a hundred specific actions. These are usually low-cost or even cost-free measures (low-cost/no-cost initiatives).
- Implementation (Operating schedules, set temperatures, control sequences): In close collaboration with your operators, we implement the recommended measures, prioritizing those with the greatest energy and cost-saving potential.
- Knowledge Transfer: At the end of the process, we organize customized training sessions to make your team fully autonomous.
- Minimum 2-Year Follow-Up: Over the two years following implementation, we conduct follow-up reports to verify the sustainability of the measures implemented and quantify the actual energy savings achieved.
