Existing-Building Commissioning

摘要

EBCx goes beyond fast payback of energy audit and quick fixes of tune-up to provide ongoing savings. Accounting for about 40 percent of energy consumption in the United States and contributing more carbon dioxide to the atmosphere than entire nations, existing buildings are becoming the proverbial elephant in the room of energy security. Few had the benefit of commissioning when built and even fewer have undergone existing-building commissioning (EBCx), or, as it was more commonly (and less accurately) known, retrocommissioning.
