Commissioning and tuning are some of the most important, and often overlooked, elements in delivering high-performing, sustainable buildings.

While commissioning is often viewed as a final project milestone focused on testing and handover, effective commissioning begins much earlier. When embedded throughout design, construction and project delivery, and complemented by ongoing tuning, it helps ensure buildings perform as intended, reduces operational risks, supports better occupant outcomes, and protects the long-term value of sustainable investments.

This Green Star course explores how commissioning and tuning can be used as strategic tools to improve project outcomes and support Green Star certification. Despite significant advances in sustainable building delivery, verification, handover and early operations remain stages where actual performance can vary considerably. Effective commissioning and tuning help bridge this gap, ensuring buildings continue to operate as intended after occupancy.
