5.1 Overview of Building Re-tuning™: Using Analytics to Improve Building Operations

This is course 5.1 of the Existing Building Commissioning  module.

The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) has developed a building Re-tuning approach to detect energy savings opportunities and implement improvements. The purpose of the building Re-tuning™ course is to enable you to reduce operating cost and provide energy savings to the building you are responsible for. The knowledge and skills learned here are highly valued in the energy, controls, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), green, and sustainability industries and help make our planet healthier. The focus is on large (100,000+ square feet) buildings, but the concepts and techniques presented can be applied to any type and size of facility that has a building automation system. This course assumes that learners have a working knowledge of HVAC and other building systems. Throughout this course, you will learn the initial steps involved in re-tuning a building controlled via a building automation system. Be sure to check out the PNNL website: PNNL Building Re-tuning. There, you can download helpful tips sheets, checklists, and access related websites and other valuable resources to help you become a building re-tuning expert.
