CxPlus Commissioning Services

Certified, Professional Commissioning Agents

What Is the Commissioning (Cx) Process?

According to the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Guideline 0-2005-2019, commissioning is a quality-focused process for enhancing the delivery of a construction project. It involves verifying and documenting that a facility and its systems and assemblies are planned, designed, installed, tested, operated and maintained in a way that meets the Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR).

CEPro Provides Commissioning Services

The CEPro team utilizes a commissioning-focused plan that confirms your critical environment meets your operational needs. Our detailed commissioning service includes a systematic quality assurance process that proactively verifies facility equipment and system operations, with the end goal of meeting each individual owner’s requirements, industry standards, best engineering practices, building code mandates and certification prerequisites.

With today’s evolving construction standards, utilizing a certified and licensed commissioning professional brings valuable expertise to a project. At CEPro, our specialty commissioning agents serve as owners’ representatives and have the ability to assist them in designing their critical facilities from the very start (initially taking the time to clarify the Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR) with the project’s end-users). Through every step of the project, CEPro ensures that ever-evolving OPRs are met.

CEPro’s Commissioning Services Are Unique

As a full-service specialty contractor, CEPro offers not only traditional Cx and retro-commissioning (RCX) services, but we also offer a new industry standard referred to as Commissioning Plus (Cx+) services. Cx+ services integrate testing and balancing with the functional testing found in traditional commissioning to verify and validate the proper operations of your facility systems.

Combined with additional services such as duct leakage testing, blower door testing and fire damper testing, our Commissioning Plus (Cx+) service has the potential to go far beyond traditional commissioning. The integration of these services provides cost efficiencies not normally realized in the traditional commissioning process.
