Retro-Commissioning involves a systemic evaluation of opportunities to improve existing energy-using systems. RCx improves the efficiency of existing facility’s mechanical, lighting, and control systems and identifies longer term improvements. The process can often resolve problems that occurred during design or construction, or address problems that have developed throughout the building’s life as equipment has aged, or as the building use has changed. RCx also includes Virtual Commissioning (VCx) or Meter Based Commissioning (MBCx) that utilize building meter data.
