“An effective, detailed commissioning plan will align functions and engage operations very early in the startup process and more in depth than with traditional project transitions.”
New technological advances over the last twenty years have driven this increased reliance on solar by decreasing costs, and new technological developments promise to augment this solar usage by further decreasing costs and increasing solar panel efficiency.
In the 2016 Johnson Controls Energy Efficiency indicator survey, 72 percent of respondents have plans to increase investment in energy efficiency and renewable energy projects. “Going Green” and “Environmentally Friendly” are no longer newsworthy, trending headlines. Now, there is a growing focus on howto achieve energy efficiency in the most cost-effective way. This is where commissioning comes into play.
