Third-Party Commissioning

Too often, operating systems comply with the original design intent – yet still do not work well. This can be caused by many factors: elevated sophistication of new energy-efficient building systems, change orders, poor field decisions, or designers inexperienced in applying today’s renewable energy technologies.

It is critical to verify that what has been designed is now constructed properly: that is the mission of the commissioning process. It can determine your system’s effectiveness and ability to meet your long-term goals.

System commissioning aims to ready all mechanical and electrical systems for active service. The process includes verifying system operation at various conditions; proper interaction between mechanical, electrical, and control systems; and documentation when system performance does not meet design criteria. In short, system commissioning takes an active versus a passive approach to guarantee more successful results.

Our staff is highly experienced at commissioning implemented energy conservation measures for proper installation, operation, and efficiency. Our commissioning service helps:

• Shorten the time it takes to get your project running
• Ensure that your equipment is installed to the manufacturer’s specifications
• Manage procurement logistics and component quality checks
• Prevent any problems that could void your warranty
• Assure you a fully-functional, fine-tuned system that meets your strict EPC, off-taker, lender, and other stakeholders’ expectations

Many companies can put up panels. Hypower makes certain your system is not only installed – but properly connected and working at optimum level.
