Energy Audits and Retro-commissioning (RCx) represent a methodical strategy aimed at improving the efficiency of building systems without necessitating the replacement of significant equipment. The Engineering Team at F&D Partners will conduct energy audits across United States and compile a list of deficiencies that clients are required to address. Upon completion of these projects, F&D Partners will submit the necessary reports to the city or state, enabling clients to fulfill their compliance obligations and avert potential penalties. The primary objective of Energy Audits and Retro-Commissioning is to guarantee that existing systems operate efficiently and in a coordinated manner.

Key advantages of retro-commissioning include:

1. Cost Efficiency: It can significantly lower operating costs depending on factors such as the building’s location, type, and the extent of the process implemented.
2. System Optimization: This process is supported by monitoring-based software that assesses system efficiency and generates detailed reports for further energy optimization through equipment fine-tuning.
3. Equipment Renewal: Retro-commissioning can restore older or malfunctioning systems and equipment to good working condition, potentially extending their operational lifespan.
4. Improved Comfort: By optimizing building operations, retro-commissioning enhances occupant comfort and reduces complaints from building users.
