Portland Energy Conservation, Inc. PECI has produced a brochure -- What Can Commissioning Do For Your Building? (pdf) -- designed to help commissioning providers sell their services to owners. It is derived from a database of 175 case studies of commissioning of new construction, equipment replacements and upgrades in existing facilities, and “tune-up” work for existing facilities.

Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance. The BetterBricks website includes case studies of several interesting building performance projects. Learn more about these projects and many others:
