Retro-Commissioning Services
At HEAPY, we specialize in Retro-Commissioning (RCx) services designed to optimize the performance of your existing buildings through no-cost or low-cost operational and maintenance improvements.
Retro-Commissioning focuses on enhancing the performance of facilities that are occupied and operational. This is especially critical if the building’s usage or occupancy patterns have changed over time.
As part of our comprehensive approach, our team will recommend best-in-class energy savings and control system techniques to reduce energy consumption and improve occupant comfort. Our goal is to ensure your building systems are operating and configured to meet, or even exceed, original performance goals.
Whether you are a building owner, operator, or a real estate management company, HEAPY’s RCx services provide tailored solutions to maximize the value and functionality of your properties.
Enhance Energy Efficiency, Comfort, and Operations
By fine-tuning building systems, RCx can significantly reduce energy consumption, leading to lower utility bills. This has the added benefit of helping organizations meet sustainability goals by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a healthier environment.
Optimizing your HVAC, lighting, and control systems will also enhance the quality of the indoor environment, leading to increased comfort and productivity for building occupants. Where indoor environmental conditions are tightly regulated, RCx provides confidence regulatory approvals can be achieved.
In addition, operational and maintenance improvements identified during the RCx process can lead to substantial cost savings by extending equipment life and preventing costly breakdowns. This extends the useful life of your building and its systems, allowing for a better return on investment for your capital infrastructure and facility maintenance costs.
“HEAPY has performed assessments on 10 buildings. We have implemented nearly all of their recommendations with a proven savings of approximately 10% of the annual energy usage prior to these retro-commissioning projects. I recommend HEAPY to any organization looking to reduce their energy usage.”

Leaving No Stone Unturned
HEAPY’s comprehensive and strategic approach to Retro-Commissioning leaves no stone unturned with regard to energy usage, reliability, operational efficiency, and occupant health and wellbeing.
PLANNING We begin with a thorough assessment of your building, including reviewing existing documentation and conducting interviews with facility staff to understand current performance issues and goals.
INVESTIGATION
Our team conducts a detailed analysis of building systems, using diagnostic monitoring and testing to identify inefficiencies and operational problems.
IMPLIEMENTATION
Based on our findings, we develop and implement a plan to correct identified issues. This may involve recalibrating systems, repairing or replacing faulty equipment, and optimizing control settings.
VERIFICATION
After implementing improvements, we verify their effectiveness through follow-up testing and monitoring to ensure that performance goals are met.
ONGOING SUPPORT
We provide continuous support and training to facility staff, ensuring that systems remain optimized and performance improvements are sustained over time.
