High performance ground source systems require a little tender, loving care (TLC) to properly bring them online and ensure that the system meets the design intent and owner's needs. This process begins during the design phase and continues through construction and start-up. The design team, commissioning agent and general contractor need to be invested and engaged with the project. Attention to detail and communication between the owner, design team, commissioning agent and contractor permits continuous improvement and prevents poor performance and an unhappy client. Properly executed, this will result in a well-tuned building system and a happy client. This seminar addresses some of the to-dos and not-to-dos during the process.
