RESIDENTIAL SERVICES

Residential Commissioning & Evaluation Services

At Stakeholders Advocate, we help homeowners take control of their property’s performance, safety, and long-term value. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, preparing to sell, or simply want your systems running at peak efficiency, we offer data-driven, third-party commissioning services that reveal what’s working, and what needs attention.

Whole-Home Commissioning Package

A full-scope evaluation of your HVAC, electrical/solar, plumbing, pool and irrigation systems, and water reclaim systems—all in one visit. Ideal for homeowners who want a complete systems check with one report and one point of contact.

HVAC Commissioning

We ensure your heating, ventilation, and air‑conditioning systems are designed, installed, and operating to deliver peak comfort, efficiency, and reliability. Whether it’s a new‑build, retrofit, or routine tune‑up, we align owner objectives, designer intent, and contractor performance to safeguard your investment.

Electrical & Solar Commissioning

From breaker panels to rooftop PV arrays, we test solar performance, verify load capacity, check grounding/bonding, and scan for issues before they become safety risks.

Plumbing & Water Reclaim Evaluation

We test water pressure, pool and irrigation systems, check for hidden leaks, validate reclaimed water systems, and verify hot water performance, helping you avoid costly damage and ensure water quality.

Pre-Purchase & Real Estate Inspections

Go beyond basic home inspections with system-level testing, repair cost estimates, and detailed documentation. Designed to give buyers and sellers a confident, data-backed edge.

Post-Renovation Commissioning

Finished a remodel or major upgrade? We validate that everything from HVAC to plumbing, was installed correctly, integrates with existing systems, and meets performance standards.

System Manuals & Documentation

We create a custom digital or printed guide with manuals, shut-off locations, maintenance schedules, and warranty documents, so everything you need is in one place.

New Construction Commissioning

From design reviews to system startup, we partner with your team to set performance targets, test key equipment, verify BAS functionality, and document everything for a smooth handover.

Retro-Commissioning (RCx)

For existing buildings, we analyze energy use, recalibrate systems, and fix inefficiencies, without major capital upgrades. A data-driven approach to cut costs, reduce complaints, and extend equipment life.

Tenant Improvement (TI) & Fit-Out Commissioning

Ensure your tenant upgrades don’t compromise base building systems. We test HVAC zones, lighting controls, and plug loads to maintain comfort, code compliance, and balanced performance.

LEED & Green Building Certification Support

We help project teams meet LEED® requirements with documentation, energy modeling review, IAQ testing, and ongoing commissioning plans that simplify credit approvals and reduce back-and-forth.

Energy & Water Efficiency Consulting

Our audits identify high-ROI conservation measures and guide implementation, from lighting retrofits to chilled-water plant optimization. We also help secure rebates and incentives.

Building Automation & Controls Optimization

We tune your BAS to work smarter: checking sensor calibration, improving sequences of operation, reducing alarm fatigue, and spotting system faults before they lead to costly failures.

Retrofit Commissioning & Specialized Testing

For major equipment upgrades or renovations, we verify performance, run thermographic scans, and provide envelope, acoustical, and fire safety testing per NFPA and EPA guidelines.

Commissioning & Facility Management Support

With quarterly or semi-annual check-ins, we keep your building running efficiently long after occupancy. Includes trending, performance dashboards, and corrective action oversight.
