LIFE CYCLE COMMISSIONING
Hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, higher education institutions, municipal, state, and federal emergency management facilities – all play a crucial role in sustaining life and livelihood. They also have in common the need for absolute, unfailing reliability combined with the adaptability to respond readily and easily to any change. Increasingly, they tend to share the goal of sustainability and environmental responsibility, as a matter of economics and ethics. In-house facilities professionals charged with the ongoing operation and maintenance of their buildings need to keep their energy-consuming systems operating efficiently, and to upgrade them as needed to meet current energy codes and standards.
OVERVIEW AKF’s commissioning and testing team is committed to performing all tasks throughout the full range of commissioning services as tailored to your project requirements. We have developed an unparalleled track record in commissioning for new buildings, re-commissioning or retro-commissioning for existing buildings, and Acceptance verification for various sized projects. Our expertise includes central plants, healthcare, education, mission-critical systems, government, residential, corporate centers, financial operations, research, and production facilities globally.
“Commissioning is the single most cost-effective strategy for reducing energy usage, emitted CO2, and operating costs in your building.” LBNL 2009 Report
AKF runs its Commissioning and Testing services with on-call senior staff duty officers assigned for each day of the year and available through e-mail, mobile phones, smart phones, and a toll free emergency number for Operations’ ease of mind. We are committed to developing a long term mutually beneficial relationship for the life of your facility.
