The concept of commissioning has been around for a long time – the term itself comes from ship building. A vessel was only commissioned, or accepted into active naval service, after a rigorous process of checking that all the parts and components were in working order. When commissioning entered the world of buildings, at first it meant little more than making sure the lights were on, the water was running, and the air was moving.

Over time, the complexity of the commissioning process has increased as tighter environmental and performance regulations came into being. But although it is now a vital part of the design and construction process required by codes and demanded by owners, commissioning is often misunderstood by many in the design and construction industry. On Wednesday, February 21, Joe Dressler from G&W Engineering presents CLARITY IN COMMISSIONING:

• Commissioning - what it is and is not
• Why include Commissioning on your projects
• Other considerations for Commissioning – codes and standards
• Meeting your Commissioning expectations – specifications and team development

As usual, we are at the Masonry Institute, and also online via Zoom. Register here: 2/21 Program on Commissioning 

Thanks to our speaker, Joe Dressler, and to our sponsor, G&W Engineering

It was a great pleasure to present on this ever-evolving topic last week at the Masonry Center!  A BIG thank you to all who attended on the 21st, and for the questions and great conversation regarding Commissioning and the Commissioning Process.

We hope to continue the conversation through threads like this, as well as any specific follow up items which we here at G&W Engineering can help you with as you navigate the needs for your projects.   Remember, it is never too early to be thinking about Commissioning and how to incorporate it into your project.

Great to see a good group last week and look forward to continuing the conversation!   

See you at the Product Show next month!  Go here for more info -->  Home - St. Louis Chapter (stlouiscsi.org)
