Introductory Seminar to the Recommissioning Guide

Recommissioning (RCx) optimizes existing buildings to improve occupant comfort and save energy.

CanmetENERGY and the Office of Energy Efficiency (OEE) developed a half-day training seminar to introduce the RCx Guide to owners and managers of institutional and commercial buildings.

This RCx seminar is currently being deployed in Canada.

• help owners and managers:
  • understand the main steps in the RCx process
  • optimize the budget requirements for the RCx project
  • make a business case for RCx projects
