Elkhorn Commissioning Group

Comprehensive third-party commissioning starting from the design phase through construction and project closeout to ensure systems meet owner project requirements.

• Owner's Project Requirements (OPR) Development

  Assisting in establishing and documenting the foundational goals and performance criteria for building systems.

• Design Document Review

  Reviewing design documents for completeness, system effectiveness, and long-term maintainability.

• Construction Phase Observation

  Conducting construction site visits to observe methods and identify potential maintenance concerns before completion.

• Pre-Functional & Start-Up Checks

  Assisting with the development and completion of pre-functional and equipment start-up checklists.

• Functional Performance Testing

  Systematic testing of individual components and integrated systems to verify performance, including test and balance (TAB) verification.

• Owner Training Coordination

  Scheduling and facilitating training for facility personnel, including training agendas and documentation.

• Commissioning Report & Baselines

  Delivering final commissioning reports that document sequences of operations and establish operational baselines.

A systematic evaluation of systems in existing or aging buildings to optimize performance, enhance occupant comfort, and improve energy efficiency.

• System Performance Evaluation

  Analyzing existing building systems to identify performance deficiencies and recommend efficiency improvements.

• Control Sequence Optimization

  Tuning controls and optimizing operation schedules to extend equipment service life and reduce operating costs.
