Analyze, Monitor & Optimize

Using technology to continually monitor, track, and measure a buildings operation.

Monitoring-Based commissioning involves innovative techniques using technology with analytical & diagnostic algorithms to constantly monitor building equipment & system functionality and performance and identify actual energy savings and performance enhancements in real time. This allows systems operators to make minor changes to regularly optimize efficiency as well as proactively identify issues.

Emily Tilgner

VP, Building Performance Solutions

Emily Leads multiple departments, including our MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing), Structural, Commissioning, Sustainability and QAQC teams. She brings a wealth of experience to the team, adding crucial knowledge when it comes to the systems of complex projects. With a long history in design, Emily’s unique perspective helps projects spot potential issues long before they happen.

Jereme Nollett

Senior Commissioning Manager

Leveraging his years of experience, Jereme specializes in building performance optimization, life- cycle cost analysis, cost-benefit analysis, carbon footprint reduction and energy conservation measures. He has a diverse background in system design, new and retrocommissioning, energy management, and test & balance with apassion for sustainable design and building optimization, resulting in an extensive understanding of MEP systems, their functionality and interaction with one another.

Andrew Shaver

Sr. Commissioning Specialist

Andrew brings a different viewpoint to the commissioning process. Coming from a background of facilities management and program management for construction activities in multi-site organizations, Andrew has spent time across the table as the owner. He has lead activities such as directing design decisions, operating procedures, leading multiple design-build projects, and understanding the cost associated with mechanical systems and their requirements. Over the last decade, he has worked to institute new and retro-commissioning in the facilities he served and advocated for optimization to prolong the life of mechanical systems, reducing operating costs, and aligning real-world metrics with design intent for optimal occupant comfort and usability.

McCownGordon provides a thorough commissioning process that prepares buildings for long-term success!

Proper Building Optimization:
Taking the time to understand a building’s personality enables us to fine tune the automation systems schedule and operational setpoints, which reduces utility consumption, seasonally validates equipment functionality and performance, and minimizes excessive equipment wear by reducing operational run times.

Warranty Support:
By providing Monitoring-Based commissioning or active management to optimize performance, we are involved during the warranty period, providing additional support to the operations and maintenance staff, to document and correct as many issues as possible while under warranty to save the owner from spending out of pocket.

Technical Advocate:
After a building is turned over, the operations and maintenance staff are expected to take over system maintenance. Often times, unexpected issues arise that the staff may not be trained to handle. We remain a resource to equip staff with the information needed for optimal system performance.

Tools & Proactive Maintenance:
Through Monitoring-Based commissioning, we not only verify functional performance and optimize the buildings’ systems, but we also provide and calibrate Fault Detection Diagnostic (FDD) rules as a proactive measure.
