Building Commissioning is an important quality assurance and quality control service in the building industry. Building commissioning supports the success of the project team by verifying and documenting that building systems are designed, installed, and functionally tested to meet project requirements and owner’s needs.

Emerald Skyline provides LEED Commissioning for our clients to reduce energy consumption, lower operating costs, reduce contractor callbacks, improve occupant productivity, provide smarter building documentation, and verify that energy systems perform in accordance with the owner’s requirements.
