The various systems within your building aren't independent; they depend on one another to provide a safe and comfortable environment for your employees, customers and equipment.
What Is a Commercial Building Systems Audit?
A commercial building systems audit is a process to measure how a building is performing compared to its specified design. A building systems analysis seeks to answer these questions:
- What does the system do?
- How does the system work?
- Why is the system set up this way?
This service includes building systems that are critical for your facility, including:
- Utilities
- Electrical
- Security
- Telecom
- Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC)
- Energy management
- Lighting
For example, the audit can examine how much energy your building uses for building energy benchmarking or how the mechanical system operates.
In addition, a building systems analysis can include building code review services to ensure your building adheres to local zoning laws, safety regulations and building codes.
Why Building Code Review Services Are Important
Building systems analysis can help your business:
- Improve cost savings: These services identify inefficiencies in operational expenses where your company can save money. For example, building energy benchmarking highlights opportunities to reduce utility costs by using less energy.
- Identify issues and repair needs: A system inspection could uncover issues that are small and easy to repair before they become major issues that affect your day-to-day operations.
- Ensure compliance with design: We'll verify if your building is operating to its specified design and standards.
- Identify performance improvements: Building systems analysis finds opportunities to modify how systems operate to improve performance.
- Increase property value: A building that meets code and is well-maintained often has a higher market value than comparable properties that are not maintained or compliant.
