Building Commissioning
DBRCx launched its division in 2005 when commissioning the first public school in Texas to be LEED Certified. Since then, millions of dollars have been saved by building owners who have experienced shorter start-up, schedule adherence, fewer hidden problems, and peak building performance from day one.

Commissioning Services
Every building is a unique structure with a unique set of requirements for the owner and users. We understand this dynamic of the built environment, take it into account with each project, and provide tailored commissioning plans that cover the spectrum of all building systems requirements.
- Whole Building Commissioning
Applying the commissioning process from project inception as a member of the team to participate in the design phase, construction phase, and acceptance phase. Working with the owner’s team to document design requirements, working with the design team to ensure the owner’s requirements are covered, and testing the building to confirm it’s operating according to the design. - Retro-Commissioning
Performing commissioning for an existing building that has never been commissioned. Establish the operational requirements of the building, test the existing systems to assess their operational level, and provide a corrective plan to address issues found and improvements that can be made. - Re-Commissioning
Performing commissioning on a building that was commissioned at the time of turnover. Confirm the building is still operating according to the original design, identify any issues that need to be addressed, and identify changes required to adapt to the building usage changes. - Ongoing Commissioning
Benchmark a building’s current performance, and develop a plan and implementation schedule for regular review to test and detect faults in the operation/performance. When faults or deficiencies in performance are found, implement a plan to troubleshoot and correct the issues.
