ST. PAUL, Minn. - Oct. 27, 2015 - PRLog -- www.Sebesta.com: The Transportation Research Board (TRB) recently published ACRP Report 139: “Optimizing Airport Building Operations and Maintenance Through Retrocommissioning: A Whole-Systems Approach (http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/172739.aspx).” The report includes guidance on retrocommissioning in airports and case studies from international and regional airports. It also features a spreadsheet tool to help practitioners evaluate and select appropriate facility optimization measures based on cost, savings, complexity, visibility, and greenhouse gas savings. Airports looking to facilitate sustainability and reduce operating costs through enhanced O&M practices will find the guidance and recommended practices extremely valuable and practical.
