HVAC Commissioning Services
HVAC system commissioning is a vital process that ensures heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems operate according to design, meet safety codes, and support the operational and care standards of modern facilities. At Cornerstone Commissioning, our HVAC commissioning services are built around delivering performance, reliability, and long-term efficiency from day one.
Whether you’re managing a new hospital build, upgrading an academic facility, or retrofitting a research lab, a well-commissioned HVAC system helps safeguard air quality, maintain thermal comfort, and ensure occupant safety. From initial design through final turnover, HVAC commissioning plays a critical role in reducing costly rework, supporting regulatory compliance, and optimizing performance to support care delivery and operational readiness. These principles apply across a wide range of project types, including mission critical commissioning services where uninterrupted operation is essential.
Understanding the HVAC System Commissioning Process
At Cornerstone Commissioning, we see HVAC commissioning as a full-lifecycle responsibility—one that begins early in design and continues long after occupancy. Our process is structured around key milestones that support performance, safety, and long-term efficiency.
Key elements of our HVAC commissioning process include:
- Design Phase Integration — We engage early to align system expectations with owner requirements and sustainability goals, laying the foundation for successful delivery.
- Construction Phase Oversight — Our team collaborates with contractors and engineers to verify that HVAC systems—including air handling units, terminal devices, and controls—are installed and integrated according to design intent.
- Functional Testing and Validation — Every component is tested and documented to ensure systems operate as intended and meet performance specifications.
- Post-Occupancy Evaluation — After occupancy, we return to assess real-world performance, identify operational gaps, and fine-tune systems to optimize comfort, efficiency, and reliability.
This structured approach ensures that HVAC systems are not only built to standard but perform as expected, today and into the future.
