Commissioning and testing, adjusting and balancing are crucial for ensuring the peak performance of essential building systems like heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, lighting and plumbing. Traditionally, these tasks were labor-intensive, requiring meticulous manual checks and adjustments.

However, automation now integrates real-time data and advanced analytics, continuously optimizing system performance throughout a building’s lifecycle. This shift from one-time tasks to ongoing improvements is particularly critical in healthcare facilities, where areas like operating rooms, intensive care units and isolation rooms demand flawless operation.

In today’s industry filled with buzzwords like “small buildings” and “intelligent systems,” it’s vital to focus on the practical benefits of automation. Automated commissioning and TAB processes encompass connected commissioning, continuous monitoring and optimized system operation. These methods utilize real-time data to enhance user experience and significantly reduce operational costs, ensuring superior performance and efficiency from construction through long-term operation.
