The benefits of recommissioning projects for building mechanical systems are well documented. With minimal investment, many managers have achieved energy savings of 10 to 20%, while improving the comfort of their buildings. To ensure that a decommissioning project is a success, two key elements are necessary: the professional’s level of expertise, and the mandate given by the building manager.
This workshop has been specially designed for property managers and clients, and will cover all the essential elements, allowing you to properly draft the mandate you give to the expert. It will provide guidelines for selecting an expert, and information on financial assistance available.
