Nova Commissioning can perform data acquisitioning of Temperature, Humidity, Lighting, Electrical, Pressure or a variety of other parameters. The collected data is always an asset to an Engineer or building owner for troubleshooting problems that exist in buildings.

In addition, Nova Commissioning can organize, coordinate and supervise testing objectives by multiple test contractors. Objectives, Procedures and Results are summarized in a submitted report.

CCoommppaannyy PPrroossppeeccttuuss Nova Commissioning Services Ltd. offers commissioning services for Mechanical, Electrical, EMCS and Life Safety Systems. With commissioning becoming an integral part of the construction process, Nova Commissioning can assist you with the commissioning aspect of all your projects.

WWhhaatt iiss CCoommmmiissssiioonniinngg?? Commissioning is the process through which building systems are verified for operation and performance. Any deficiencies in operation or performance are documented and reported to the design and construction teams for corrective action. Due to the complexity of present and future building designs, particularly in the field of EMCS (Energy Management Control Systems) and Life Safety Systems, a coordinated effort in commissioning multi-discipline systems is required.

Nova Commissioning acts as an independent Commissioning Agent specializing in building operation, maintenance and equipment performance verification. By being independent of the contractors, engineers and product manufacturers our only objective is that the building’s design criteria, specified by the owner, is achieved. This allows an unbiased reporting of the operation and performance of all equipment and systems.

 TThhee OOwwnneerr Commissioning benefits the owner by confirming the

performance and operation of the building systems, by a third party

firm which is independent from the construction and design teams. Nova Commissioning acts in the best interest of the owners, by verifying building design, operation, performance, maintainability, and completeness. By ensuring each component of the building is operating at peak performance, the overall operational cost of the building will be minimized. As well, a baseline of operational performance is established which can be used as a reference for troubleshooting if problems occur in the future.

Commissioning benefits the contractors by

ascertaining and resolving design and construction issues during the construction phase where it is much easier to correct. Commissioning also benefits the contractor by confirming the operation of the equipment or system. With system commissioning being performed and documented, resolution of warranty problems is facilitated. A completely commissioned project will result in less callbacks thus minimizing after delivery costs to the builders.

 

    

 

TThhee PPrroojjeecctt MMaannaaggeerr With Nova Commissioning as

your Commissioning Manager and an integral part of the project

management team, a single point contact for the resolution of all

commissioning issues is achieved. This reduces the workload of the Project Manager, allowing more concentration to other issues of the project.

Commissioning is an excellent opportunity for the

design professional to evaluate the engineering practices and concepts

of the design. Reviewing the data collected during the commissioning process will result in more refined building designs on future projects, and more client satisfaction with the final product. The best engineered building can have the worst performance if the building systems are not operated as intended.

ensures that the operating staff receives the

appropriate training on all systems commissioned. This allows the operating staff to maintain and operate all systems to the optimal design intent.
