Commissioning continues to be approximately 60% of our services. FD is not a design firm that provides commissioning services on the side. FD is first and foremost a commissioning firm. FD has conducted numerous facility assessments to assist our clients with developing capital plans for improvement needed to keep building systems reliable, safe, comfortable, energy efficient and healthy. We will systematically scrutinize your facilities, compiling comprehensive data leveraging our expertise to identify energy audit, capital renewal, and capital improvement projects. FD can manage your infrastructure projects from developing a scope of work, soliciting and reviewing bids, to final site visits to assure successful completion. FD has also been tasked with setting corporate policies and procedures for infrastructure projects to increase energy savings and reduce the corporate carbon footprint.
