Recommissioning
Advanced Recommissioning Course
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 outlines each RCx step and gives participants clear understanding of the entire RCx process.
This RCx course is currently being deployed in Canada. Check the Calendar of Events for upcoming sessions.
The Bureau de l'efficacité et de l'innovation énergétiques offers a certification program in connection to this course (certified agents for RCx projects). To learn more, visit their website 
.
Training topics include:
- the system approach
- efficient methods for uncovering problems
- working with the building staff
- calculating savings
- implementing findings
- providing targeted documentation and training
- providing on-going commissioning best practices
To practice the principles demonstrated during the course sessions, participants will have access to data from actual RCx projects in group activities.
Target Clientele
The target clients include experienced people in technical positions:
- continuous optimization (RCx) service providers or recommissioning agents (ACx)
- building operators
- energy managers
Mostly engineers with experience in HVAC systems and institutional and commercial building operations.
