The Genesis
In engineering school we are taught about Newton’s law of physics. One of those laws that quickly comes to mind is that an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force. At Total Building Commissioning, Inc. (TBC) we have had many requests from clients, design engineers and fellow commissioning authorities for information about commissioning and how to make buildings work better. These “outside forces” have set this blog in motion.
Our intent in providing this blog is to provide an online, searchable, content-rich resource. The majority of the blog posts will be “reports from the trenches”, “stories from the field” and other real-life experiences to help bring information to life with real world examples. We welcome your constructive comments, information and input to increase the value to those who read this blog.
BEST PRACTICES, WAR STORIES AND LESSONS LEARNED
This Best Practices, War Stories, and Lessons Learned blog will provide inspiration and instructional content to building owners, design engineers, contractors and commissioning authorities alike. Topics will cover the Total Building Commissioning process, design, troubleshooting and operations of building systems, including HVAC, DDC control, electrical and many others. This blog will be an informal, fun, content-rich forum for exchanging information.
