Recommissioning (RCx) optimizes existing buildings to improve occupant comfort and save energy.
CanmetENERGY and the Office of Energy Efficiency (OEE) developed a 3.5-day advanced RCx course for engineers and technicians. This course covers all stages of the RCx process: planning, investigation, implementation, hand-over, and monitoring.
The RCx course is currently being given in Canada. Visit the Canadian Institute for Energy Training’s (CIET inc.) website to see the dates of upcoming sessions.
Training topics include:
- the system approach
- efficient methods for uncovering problems
- working with building staff
- calculating savings
- implementing RCx findings
- updating documentation and providing targeted training
- applying best practices in on-going commissioning
To practice the principles demonstrated during the course lectures, participants will be given exercises and answer keys.
Target Clientele
The target audience includes experienced individuals in technical positions:
- continuous optimization (RCx) service providers or recommissioning agents
- building operators
- energy managers
Participants are usually engineers with experience in HVAC systems and institutional and commercial building operations.
