envelopes, Interior systems, Sustainable systems,

Lighting, Wastewater, Controls, and building security to

achieve the owner's project requirements as intended by

the building owner and as designed by the building

Post Occupation (based on time / use):

• Re-commissioning is the methodical process of testing and

adjusting the aforementioned systems in existing buildings.

Black Start – Under Normal Operating Conditions with full services available remove utility (power, water,

standard operating procedures.
