O,R&L's goal is to provide the owner with documented confirmation that the physical building and its systems have been properly specified and installed correctly. O,R&L recommends the commissioning process begin in the design phase and continue through construction, start-up and initial operation.

Five phases of Commissioning:

• Design
• Development of project documents
• Bidding and construction
• Final acceptance
• Warranty period

Benefits of Commissioning:

• Reduced construction, energy and maintenance costs
• Improved building performance
• Fewer occupant complaints
• Increased operation and maintenance knowledge
• Improved documentation
• Improved indoor air quality

O,R&L also commissions existing buildings or Retro Commissioning, which requires a more trenchant approach. Existing buildings, as the result of a proper retro commissioning, will also operate more efficiently and effectively, and the process often eliminates the need for costly capital improvement projects.

O,R&L has successfully commissioned new buildings and retro commissioned existing buildings resulting in substantial cost savings for our clients.
