Commissioning & Energy Services · Dallas–Fort Worth

Building systems that perform the way they were designed to.

Independent commissioning, retro-commissioning and energy services for hospitals, data centers and commercial buildings. We verify that HVAC, controls and plumbing systems work as intended, then tune them to cut energy use without disrupting operations.

Services

From design review to day-one operations, and every year after.

Every engagement is led personally by a Certified Commissioning Authority. We work directly for owners, or as a commissioning subconsultant to contractors and Cx firms.

New construction commissioning

OPR and Cx plans, design reviews, construction checklists, functional test scripts, Level 3–5 testing and closeout, including LEED Fundamental and Enhanced Cx.

Retro-commissioning

Find where existing systems have drifted, fix it through operations, and document the savings: central plants, air handlers, terminal units and BAS sequences.

Mission-critical support

Data hall and central plant commissioning, integrated systems testing, and cutovers planned to protect uptime.

BAS and controls optimization

Trend analysis, schedules, setpoints and resets, plus verification of pneumatic-to-DDC retrofits.

Energy assessments and incentives

No- and low-cost energy measures, utility incentive application support, and TAB verification of air and hydronic systems.

Operator training

Practical HVACR, hydronic and BAS training for facility staff, taught by a certified trade instructor.

Experience

Proven where systems can't fail.

Selected project experience of our principal, from four decades across Texas.

How we work

Clear scope, field-tested results.

Plan

Review drawings, sequences and records. Agree on objectives, systems and a not-to-exceed budget.

Test

Trend the BAS, log data and functionally test the equipment in the field, not just on paper.

Correct

Prioritize findings by savings and payback, and track every issue through to closure.

Verify

Re-test, train your operators, and hand over a report your team can actually use.

About

Field-to-function experience.

Verified Building Performance is led by Christopher Christian, CxA, CBCP. His career started in 1981 as an HVAC service technician and pipefitter in Fort Worth. It continued through testing and balancing supervision, building automation, performance-contract M&V, and lead commissioning roles on hospitals, data centers and LEED Platinum buildings.

That hands-on background means problems get diagnosed at the equipment, where they start. Recommendations are ones your facility team can maintain, and nothing is buried in a binder.

We provide commissioning and building-performance services. We don't provide engineering design or sealed documents; design work is coordinated with licensed Texas professional engineers.
