Maintaining the energy efficiency of buildings through quality and functional assurance<\/h1>\n

Summary:<\/strong>
\nSweco’s quality and operational assurance services ensure that a building functions as planned and energy-efficiently throughout its life cycle. The services are used to detect deviations in time, optimise the operation of building services and ensure that the conditions are appropriate. This saves on energy costs and prevents technical problems. Sweco supports construction projects from design to commissioning and continuous monitoring \u2013 ensuring that the building works exactly as it should.<\/em><\/p>\n

Quality and functional assurance are key factors in maintaining the energy efficiency and functionality of buildings. Sweco offers a wide range of services that help ensure the functionality of buildings, detect deviations in time and repair the harmful effects of malfunctioning equipment and systems before they escalate. These services can be used to achieve the desired energy efficiency and ensure that the building works as planned.<\/p>\n

Quality assurance and operational assurance ensure:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 the appropriate operation of the energy systems of a new or renovated building
\n\u2022 the operation of building services in accordance with the plans and the needs of the property
\n\u2022 the functionality of the building in changing conditions
\n\u2022 \u00a0the fine-tuning of the building’s systems to make them energy-efficient

Quality Assurance & Operational Assurance | Services offered by Sweco:<\/h2>\n

1. Energy consumption monitoring<\/strong>
\nEnergy consumption monitoring systems provide up-to-date information on a building’s energy use and enable the detection of deviations in time.
\nPossibility to analyze data from energy meters and sensors using a building automation system.
\n2. Identification of construction defects<\/strong>
\nIt is ensured that defects and defects in construction are found during the warranty period, so that the owner is not responsible for repairing them.
\nThe conditions of the building and the operation of building technology are visualised and analysed.
\n3. Monitoring conditions and pressure ratios<\/strong>
\nEnsuring that ventilation works properly and that the pressure ratios in the building are in order.
\nConditions are monitored based on ventilation, heating, cooling, heat pumps, energy meters and measurements.
\n4. Ensuring the functionality of design solutions<\/strong>
\nSupports the planning and implementation of the construction project by ensuring that the building systems support the assurance of operations.
\nSystem design and measurement to support quality assurance.
\n5. Monthly reporting<\/strong>
\nMonthly reports on energy consumption and building activity.
\nThe ability to monitor the condition of the building and detect deviations in time.<\/p>\n

The end result is a verifiably functional building\"Image<\/h2>\n

The energy efficiency and functionality of buildings are often left unchecked, which can lead to high energy costs and technical problems. Sweco’s quality assurance services offer a solution to this problem by collecting and analysing data from energy meters and sensors, which makes it possible to ensure the conditions of the buildings and the functioning of the building systems as planned.<\/p>\n

With Sweco, you can get answers to the following questions, among others:<\/strong>
\nDoes a new or renovated building work properly? Will construction defects be found during the warranty period? Does the building technology work as planned and in accordance with the needs of the property? How does a building work in different conditions? Can the operations be tuned to be energy-efficient? Are the conditions as planned? Are heat pumps and heat recovery equipment working optimally? Is energy efficiency at the planned level?<\/p>\n

How we work and what your company gets<\/h3>\n

1. Design phase
\n<\/strong>In cooperation with the client, the goals to be set for the building, such as the desired conditions, the operation of building technology and energy consumption<\/a>, are defined. We design the measurement and sensor systems that support the achievement of these goals.
\n2. Tendering and implementation phase
\n<\/strong>We steer the development of the system so that operations can be ensured. If necessary, we also participate at a later stage, such as the construction phase, by commenting and suggesting improvements to the metering system.
\n3. Commissioning and monitoring<\/strong>
\nWe supervise the commissioning phase of the building and its subsequent operations, ensuring that the building operates in accordance with the set goals.
\n4. Follow-up and alarms
\n<\/strong>With the help of energy meters, we monitor how the building consumes energy and how\u00a0 the building technology<\/a> works. If the consumption deviates from the targets, the system sends an alert. This ensures that heat pumps and ventilation units, for example, work properly.<\/p>\n

Contact us and ensure the operation of your building efficiently and reliably!<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
