Building Commissioning (Cx) is a systematic quality assurance process that verifies a new building and its systems are designed, installed, tested, and operated to meet the owner’s project requirements and design intent. This comprehensive approach encompasses all major building systems. Â
NV5 is a qualified commissioning service provider and certified commissioning firm through NEBB and ACG. Our multidisciplinary team uniquely combines accomplished commissioning engineers with extensive design engineering and facility operations experience, providing insight into design, construction, and operational challenges that other firms may miss. Â
The team employs advanced technical tools including CxAlloy cloud-based software and our proprietary building analytics platform, NVision powered by SkySpark. We maintain a collaborative team approach that engages operations staff throughout all project phases to ensure effective knowledge transfer and long-term building performance. Â
NV5 is a charter member of the Building Commissioning Association and has been a corporate sustaining member of the U.S. Green Building Council for over 20 years, demonstrating our commitment to delivering buildings that meet financial goals, operational needs, and sustainability objectives.Â
NV5’s Retro-Commissioning (Retro-Cx) services systematically inspect and optimize existing building systems and equipment to ensure they operate efficiently and effectively according to current operational needs, delivering improved performance, lower energy costs, and more effective operating teams. With more than 20 years of experience encompassing millions of square feet of building space, our integrated retro-commissioning process consistently delivers sustainable energy savings of 10% to 25% with an average payback period of just 3 years. Our multidisciplinary team employs advanced technical tools and a collaborative approach that engages facility staff throughout the process, ensuring quick solution delivery and effective knowledge transfer. Â
We complement our retro-commissioning services with comprehensive energy audits—offering ASHRAE Level 1, 2, and 3 assessments—that identify inefficiencies and provide actionable recommendations to reduce energy consumption and operating costs. This combined approach enables us to address both immediate operational improvements and long-term energy management strategies tailored to your facility’s unique requirements. Whether addressing comfort issues, reducing utility expenses, or improving system reliability, NV5 delivers measurable results that enhance building performance and sustainability.Â
NV5’s Ongoing and Monitoring Based Commissioning (MBCx) services use real-time data analytics to continuously monitor, analyze, and improve building system performance, ensuring facilities operate at their full potential while maximizing energy savings, sustainability, and operational performance. Our highly customizable building analytics system, NVision, leverages the powerful SkySpark engine to perform complex algorithm analyses and Fault Detection and Diagnostic (FDD) functions that automatically identify, isolate, and diagnose problems in HVAC, lighting, electrical, and other building systems before they impact operations. The analytics system analyzes data from multiple sources, including building automation systems, sub-metering systems, IoT devices, and other smart building technologies, presenting actionable insights. Â
NVision provides a proprietary user-friendly interface that delivers tailored key performance indicators, root cause analysis, corrective action plans, and work order management. While our software is a powerful tool, it is our team of skilled engineers and specialists that truly sets NV5 apart from other MBCx and analytics providers, prioritizing measurable results over functionality alone. Our objective is to achieve sustained energy and operational savings, maintain optimal building performance, minimize peak demand loads, and reduce utility costs through proactive system optimization. We provide comprehensive training and ongoing support to operations and maintenance teams, ensuring they can leverage the platform effectively and respond quickly to system anomalies. With NV5’s MBCx services, you gain a strategic partner committed to delivering continuous performance improvements and long-term value for your facility.
Navigating building and energy management systems is challenging even with adequate resources, and these challenges become significantly greater when relying solely on controls contractors as your in-house experts. NV5’s independent intelligent buildings team provides vendor-neutral expertise across a comprehensive array of products, systems, and solutions, acting as your representative with your facility, personnel, and budget at the forefront of every decision. We listen and examine each client’s unique building function challenges, matching your individual requirements with the optimal technology solutions available through our Smart Building Technology Consulting services. Â
Our team guides you through the decision-making process—as much or as little as your situation requires—providing Existing Building Controls Analysis to assess current performance, Control System Design tailored to your operational needs, and rigorous Testing and Verification to ensure systems perform as intended. Whether your project involves optimizing an existing system, implementing a major retrofit, or supporting new construction, NV5 has the industry knowledge and technical expertise to exceed your expectations while staying within budget from inception to completion. We pride ourselves on delivering practical, cost-effective solutions that transform building management systems from sources of frustration into productive, reliable tools that enhance facility operations. Â
Allow NV5 to assist you and your team in rebuilding confidence in your building systems and unlocking their full potential for improved efficiency, comfort, and control.Â
