ACS SERVICES

Commissioning

Commissioning is the quality assurance method for new construction. For best results, the commissioning process should begin early in the design phase and continue throughout construction, ensuring more seamless occupancy.

ACS specializes in healthcare, data center, mission critical, higher education, and laboratory MEP commissioning.

ACS can also help by providing assurance with specialty systems like elevators, CCTV, Fire Systems, and nurse call.

Retro-Commissioning

Existing buildings can also benefit from the commissioning process. Seeking to correct issues that occurred during design or construction, as well as address normal wear and tear of systems, retro-commissioning places existing buildings into a more energy efficient state.

Retro-commissioning empowers owners with a better understanding of the building sequences and problems, optimizing the project to best suit the needs of the owner.

Re-Commissioning

ACS provides this service to backcheck a project that has already been completed and is having issues or is untrustworthy. This process might be done to understand a building from a new owner or might be done to understand some operational problems.

MEP/FLS Assessments

ACS can provide assessments to give owners more details of how their building is operating. These assessments are utilized to understand the HVAC, Electric, Plumbing, and Fire/Life Safety systems that are in an existing building giving the owner a better idea of how their building is being maintained, and what issues might be seen in time.

Asset Tagging

ACS has provided methods of tracking physical assets of owner’s equipment. Through barcoded or branded labels, ACS can help simplify the needs for sustaining operations and maintenance on various types of owner’s property.
