For existing life sciences facilities, Retrocommissioning (RCx) is a powerful strategy to optimize building performance, reduce energy consumption, and ensure systems are meeting current operational needs and regulatory standards, often without significant capital expenditure. Genesis AEC’s Retrocommissioning services carefully evaluate your existing mechanical, electrical, and control systems to identify and correct operational deficiencies.
Many facilities, particularly those that have evolved over time, suffer from ‘drift’ in their operational settings, leading to inefficiencies and suboptimal performance. Our RCx process uncovers these issues, recalibrates systems, and implements low-cost/no-cost improvements that deliver measurable results. This is particularly valuable for energy-intensive lab and manufacturing spaces. Studies by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory found that retrocommissioning projects typically yield energy savings of 15% to 20% with a median payback period of just 1.1 years. Beyond energy savings, RCx improves indoor environmental quality, enhances equipment reliability, and extends the useful life of existing assets, making your facility more sustainable and responsive to your evolving scientific and operational demands.
