Building Commissioning Handbook, Third Edition

It has been more than 40 years since the inception of building commissioning (Cx) as a discrete profession. This third edition of The Building Commissioning Handbook captures the many changes in the building market that are – and will continue to be – advancing and accelerating the role and value of commissioning. The design, construction, operation, and optimization of increasingly complex building systems and assemblies requires unique and expanding skill sets along with broad and deep knowledge of building science.

 

Produced by APPA and the Building Commissioning Association, this handbook provides a sequential, phase-based approach to the building commissioning process for all who have a stake in understanding, participating, and delivering properly functioning higher education and other commercial and institutional facilities.
