WPL Publishing to Host
Webinar on Maximizing Value in Retro-Commissioned Buildings.
The interactive event, set to take place Dec. 3, is suited for a
wide range of professionals within the construction community,
including architects, engineers, public and private owners,
developers, construction managers, contractors, subcontractors,
consultants, and facility and property managers.
Early next month, WPL Publishing will sponsor a webinar to help
various professionals within the construction community pinpoint the
best options for making their buildings more energy efficient
through "retro-commissioning," also known as "existing building
commissioning" or "re-commissioning."
The webinar will present the fundamental strategies for
understanding retro-commissioning. The 90-minute event will focus on
the systematic process used for understanding the operation of the
building’s major energy-using systems, options for optimizing energy
performance, and a plan to achieve energy savings. With an emphasis
on the commercial-building sector, participants will learn about
developing a commissioning plan, conducting the investigation and
analysis phase, documenting energy-use breakdowns, listing operating
problems, and identifying capital improvements. To register for the
webinar, scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2013, at 1:00 p.m. (EST),

In addition, webinar participants will review appropriate strategies
to implement no- or low-cost operational improvements, staff
training, and the updating of a building-operating plan. This
program is ideal for anyone seeking focused training on
commissioning activities during the occupancy phase of the building
life cycle.
