Commissioning

At S. L. King & Associates, Inc. (SLKA), our commissioning (Cx) approach is disciplined, collaborative, and performance-focused—so every facility functions as intended and delivers long-term value. Whether new construction Cx, re-commissioning (Re-Cx), or retro-commissioning (RCx), we align to the Owner's Project Requirements (OPR) and verify performance against the design intent and real-world operating conditions.

We specialize in complex, large-scale programs for government, higher education, aviation, healthcare, utilities, and industrial/water-wastewater clients. From planning through turnover (and into warranty), SLKA provides end-to-end commissioning that keeps projects on time, on budget, and operationally ready.

What We Commission

• MEP/FP Systems: HVAC & controls, central plants, air & hydronic balancing (TAB), electrical distribution, emergency power, fire protection & life safety
• Building Systems & Interfaces: BMS/BAS integration, metering, envelope-related controls interfaces, vertical transportation coordination
• Specialty & Process: Labs & critical environments, water/wastewater process controls, data & telecom/MDF–IDF environmental support

Services & Scope

• Cx Planning & Basis Alignment: OPR/BOD review, Cx Plan, submittal reviews, controls sequences, design phase QA/QC
• Construction Phase Cx: Pre-functional checklists, functional performance testing (FPT), issues log & corrective actions, controls trend analysis
• Turnover & Training: Systems Manual, operations & maintenance (O&M) training, punch-list resolution, seasonal testing
• Optimization & Verification: Post-occupancy tuning, M&V support, energy/comfort optimization, warranty-phase review
• LEED & Program Support: Fundamental/Enhanced Cx (LEED v4+), owner training programs, documentation, and audits

We align with ASHRAE Guideline 0, Guideline 1.1, ASHRAE 202, LEED Fundamental/Enhanced Cx, and applicable NFPA/IBC/IECC requirements. Our electrical testing, life-safety verification, and controls reviews are coordinated with AHJ and owner standards to ensure safe, compliant turnover.

Why SLKA

• Lifecycle Performance: We design tests and documentation owners can actually use—beyond ribbon-cutting.
• Operational Readiness: Clear sequences, labeled setpoints, trained staff, and a tuned system on day one.
• Multi-Discipline Depth: In-house MEP/FP, controls, TAB coordination, electrical testing, and O&M training.
• Results Owners Feel: Fewer change orders, faster stabilization, improved comfort/reliability, and measurable efficiency.

Industry studies show commissioning can reduce energy use and operating costs while improving comfort and reliability. SLKA's process turns those gains into sustained outcomes.
