This market study, sponsored by the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance ("the Alliance"), is an investigation of the commercial building commissioning practices and related attitudes currently prevailing in the Pacific Northwest. It has been undertaken to provide the information needed to develop a strategic plan for making commissioning “business as usual” in the Pacific Northwest over the next five to ten years. The effort involved a telephone survey of public and private sector Building Owner’s Representatives and Commissioning Service Providers in the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana). Data from the surveys has been used to characterize baseline-commissioning practices and develop strategies for encouraging growth of the private sector commissioning market.
