Recommissioning
Think of it as a tune-up. Over time, building automation systems drift from their original settings. Schedules get changed, setpoints shift, sequences fall out of sync. Recommissioning corrects that drift and recovers the energy performance you have been losing.
What is involved
How it works
Rede's engineers review your building automation systems and identify where performance has slipped from design intent. We document exactly what needs to be corrected and work alongside your facilities team or controls contractor to get it done. No capital projects required.
Every recommendation has a payback of two years or less. And we identify any provincial incentives that apply, which can meaningfully offset the cost.
What you will need
Here is what makes it possible.
A modern building automation system with detailed controls coverage.
Remote access to the BAS, through VPN or equivalent.
Digital documentation: mechanical and electrical drawings, controls as-builts.
A controls lead or contractor who can implement findings.
Rede never makes changes to the BAS directly. All corrections are made by your controls contractor, with your authorization.
Results
5.7%
average historical cost reduction across all building types, with an average simple payback of 1.7 years.
The improvements are operational: better scheduling, corrected setpoints, and properly sequenced systems. Most last two to three years before drift begins again, which is why recommissioning works best as a recurring part of an energy management program rather than a one-time fix.
By building type
BC Hydro Continuous Optimization Program results to March 2024, by building type, as historical benchmark context.
Access funding
Many provinces have incentive programs that apply directly to recommissioning work. Depending on your location and the scope of the project, incentives can offset a significant portion of the cost.
Rede identifies and manages the incentive application process as part of every recommissioning engagement.
Programs we work with
Eligibility and program details are confirmed through a conversation with the Rede team.
