and occupant revolt. This insures the project turns out how you want it
to.
● Selecting devices and sequence of operations that
make sense for the occupants and save additional
energy.
This leads to a more comfortable work environment
and prevents the disabling of control devices.
● Writing a proper Sequence of Operations.
This insures that the system is commissioned the
way the designer and the owner want it to be.
● Properly commissioning a project and training the
end user on the system they have.
This will help insure a positive end user experience
after everyone else is gone.
