This Long-Term Monitoring and Tracking (LTMT) report, prepared by the Cadmus Group, presents the 2021 findings for NEEA’s Building Commissioning Initiative which promoted commissioning from 1999 to 2004, and entered LTMT in 2005. The 2021 LTMT report (1) Updates the number of Northwest commissioning firms, (2) Estimates the total floor area of new and existing commissioned commercial space, and (3) Determines new and existing building market size and the resulting market penetration of commissioning. This report represents the final year of NEEA’s Building Commissioning LTMT.
The 2021 study found that market penetration of new building commissioning in the Northwest decreased from 79% in 2020 to 45% in 2021, driven by decreases in new building commissioning activity in all states but Oregon, where new building commissioning market penetration increased from 61% to 71%. During the same year-over-year period, the market penetration of existing building commissioning increased from 1.1% to 1.25% across the four-state region.
