Testing and Commissioning in Green Buildings: Calibration, Verification and Certification Procedures

Green buildings are known as environmentally friendly and sustainable structures. These buildings are known for their use of environmentally friendly materials, energy savings, water conservation, waste management and a healthy interior. However, green buildings need to be properly tested, commissioned, calibrated, verified and certified to ensure their sustainability.

Testing and commissioning are done during the design, construction and operation phases of green buildings. These processes control important aspects of buildings such as energy efficiency, water efficiency, air quality, lighting, heating and cooling systems.

The calibration process is done to ensure the accuracy of the measuring instruments. This process involves comparing the measuring instruments with the factory values. In this way, the accuracy of the measuring instruments is ensured and the properties of the buildings are measured accurately.

The verification process is to check the accuracy of the data obtained as a result of measuring the properties of the buildings. This process checks whether the design features of the buildings conform to the measurement results. Thus, the differences between the design features of the buildings and the measurement results are detected and they are measured accurately.

The certification process, on the other hand, is the verification that green buildings comply with a certain standard. These standards indicate that buildings are environmentally friendly and sustainable. The certification process ensures the sustainability of green buildings by certifying that the buildings comply with certain standards during the design, construction and operation phases.

As a result, testing and commissioning of green buildings is extremely important for verifying that buildings are environmentally friendly and sustainable. Calibration, verification and certification processes ensure that buildings are in compliance with certain standards during the design, construction and operation phases.
