Continuous Commissioning ® at Alamo
An ongoing process to resolve operation problems, improve comfort, indoor air quality, and optimize
energy consumption; using existing systems of commercial and institutional buildings.

Energy savings typically pay for process in less than 2 years
CC® Targets for Alamo Colleges
⋅ Air Handler Optimization– Occupied/unoccupied schedules– Supply air temperature reset schedule– Duct static pressure reset schedule– Economizer mode– Humidity control
⋅ Terminal Box Optimization– Minimum flow setting– Air flow calibration/verification
⋅ Central Plant Optimization– Chilled and hot water reset schedules– Chiller staging
• Training of Facilities Personnel!
