Future-Proofing Buildings: Integrating Advanced Commissioning Practices with Emerging Technologies for Energy Efficiency

As the building industry evolves towards greater energy efficiency and sustainability, commissioning practices must adapt to incorporate emerging technologies that enhance performance and optimize systems. In this session, we will explore how advanced commissioning techniques, combined with innovations like digital twin integration and real-time energy monitoring, can revolutionize the way buildings are tested, turned over, operated, and maintained. Drawing on 20+ years of experience in building commissioning, we will discuss the changes over that time and the integration of these technologies into today’s commissioning workflows, focusing on how they can improve system efficiency, reduce operational costs, and support Net Zero and sustainability goals.
Attendees will gain insights into the latest trends shaping the commissioning process, including how data analytics can serve to avoid physical presence in occupied spaces and provide actionable insights for continuous improvement. The session will also highlight practical examples and case studies that demonstrate the successful application of these technologies in real-world projects.
