TBC offers more than 27 years experience related to commissioning, energy-efficiency consulting and building automation and controls consulting. TBC also provides LEED™ certification consulting. A distinguishing characteristic of the TBC commissioning process is the emphasis we place on leaving clients with a building that works and operation and maintenance (O&M) personnel that are trained.

Decades of Commissioning Experience
The process of total building commissioning involves the Total Quality Management process by verifying that buildings are designed, constructed and operate according to the owner’s needs.
TBC accomplishes this mission by leading the commissioning team—including owners and operators, design architects and engineers, general contractors and subcontractors, and end users—to deliver a building that functions as it was intended. Ideally, we begin commissioning activity early in the design process in order to help the design team develop a workable system at design, and ultimately, ensure it is a working system at completion.
LEED™ Accredited Professionals
TBC delivers the value of our sustainable design and LEED™ experience to every commissioning project. Our experience with LEED™ certification requirements helps us guide our clients toward the development of sustainable, high-performance buildings that cost less to operate, are healthier for occupants and less damaging to the environment.
TBC has served as the commissioning authority for nearly a dozen projects in the Western United States seeking various levels of LEED™ certification.
