Do the improvements and retrofits that we make to building controls actually persist over time? This seminar explores that question for a number of different scenarios including retrocommissioning, new building commissioning and general retrofit of building automation. Results from primary research on the subject are presented as well as first-hand accounts from controls and commissioning contractors in the field. The session also demonstrates methods for improving persistence, including longer term activities like monitoring.
