Develop a list of retro-commissioning measures (RCMs), identifying all problems to be remedied and the responsible party who will address each measure, timeline and estimated cost, if applicable.
- Develop a rough estimate of predicted energy savings due to RCx.
Implementation phase
- Complete all RCMs except for RCMs that entail significant capital expense, as determined by the owner.
Verification phase
- Verify that RCMs are performing as intended.
Handoff phase
- Finalize the RCx report. Update the current facilities requirements (CFRs) and operations and maintenance (O+M) plan and train the building operator.
