Residential Commissioning
At EFI Engineering, we provide residential commissioning services to ensure that multi-unit residential buildings operate efficiently, safely, and in alignment with design specifications. Our approach enhances energy performance, optimizes occupant comfort, and ensures compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
Our expertise spans new residential construction, renovations, and retro-commissioning for existing multi-unit buildings. We work closely with developers, property managers, and building owners to ensure HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and building envelope systems function optimally and meet sustainability standards.
Residential commissioning helps property owners reduce energy costs, enhance tenant comfort, and extend the lifespan of building systems. By identifying and resolving inefficiencies early, we support better system performance and long-term reliability.
