Regardless of where you are in the evolution of an energy conservation program, from never having thought about it to certifying your 7th LEED building, DMI Entegral Solutions can help. Our model is built on an “end in mind” approach, with the “end” being the energy and operational results you want to achieve, not just the completion of a project or service. From small goals to stretch goals, we have an array of solutions and services to offer.

Our performance based delivery models are a modification of the methods you are familiar with, plus the enhancements necessary to ensure the results you desire. PERFORMANCE BASED DELIVERY Design/Build (DB) DMI Entegral Solutions is responsible for and at risk for the design and construction of the project, plus the performance against agreed upon metrics for the energy and operation of the systems for a time period after implementation. Typically, this requires some level of energy analysis prior to design and involves thorough commissioning during and after construction. CM at Risk (CMR) DMI Entegral Solutions works alongside the owner’s A/E to provide preconstruction services during design and acts as the GC during construction. Preconstruction services are enhanced with energy modeling and cost benefit analysis. Commissioning and performance management on the back end ensure the results desired. Commissioning and Retrocommissioning In the off chance that you have ever had a project that was “finished” – but not really “finished” – then you are familiar with the often misunderstood concept of commissioning. At DMI Entegral Solutions, we know that performance must be linked to every decision throughout the development, design and delivery of a project. By definition, that means there will be commissioning the right way and to the right amount. The commissioning process starts with design intent and operational intent documentation prior to design and ends with proof of performance of the systems after construction. Furthermore, our performance management process, after implementation, ensures that the systems stay in a commissioned state. Retrocommissioning is the process of taking an existing building or system back to its original design intent and operational intent. It is a four step process that includes the following: Inventory and Assessment. This is where we identify current state of the systems in a building, document the design and operational intents and the known deficiencies. Detailed Commissioning Plan. In this step, we create a plan for how to address the issues specifically, which may or may not require capital investment from the owner. The plan will include an itemized list of actions and costs, as well as an implementation plan and schedule. Repair and Replacement. Here, we implement the first phase of the commissioning plan, which is to fix the components of the building systems that are in need of repair or replacement. This can be low cost, capital intensive or anywhere in between. Commissioning of Building or System. After the building systems have been repaired or replaced and are functioning properly, the traditional commissioning process can be implemented. Here, we run each system through all sequences, make any adjustments necessary and document performance against design and operational intent. Annual inspections are recommended to keep the systems operating as intended and to achieve the results that you want. ONGOING SERVICES   HVAC Service BMS Service Energy Performance Management   Creative development, good designs and solid construction practices do not guarantee results. In fact, data shows that in even the best performing buildings, operational efficiency degrades 40% after the first year if left unmanaged. With a tailored Performance Management program, we can ensure the results that were intended and often even improve the results beyond those expected. Sometimes, Performance Management only means simple updates to the building automation system with regular monitoring. For ambitious clients, it might involve an aggressive list of performance metrics with Retrocommissioning, training and frequent interaction with the systems and occupants.
