COMMISSIONING
Smooth Energy operates primarily as an independent commissioning agency. We strive to offer complete building commissioning services for buildings of all uses and sizes with competitive pricing.
Remaining independent from design and construction teams ensures that the building systems will be verified by a neutral and unbiased party. We feel that this basic premise of commissioning helps to provide an independent method of verification that each building’s systems are working properly and in accordance with the owner’s project requirements.
