Write a functional test once. Run it on live equipment. Keep running it. infin.cx replaces the binder full of one-time test sheets with software that catches problems while there's still time to fix them.
* LBNL and DOE work on retro- and ongoing-commissioning. ** Industry benchmarks. Your numbers will depend on your buildings.
A traditional Cx report tells you what was wrong on the day someone showed up. infin.cx keeps testing after they leave - which is where most of the real money lives.
Simultaneous heating and cooling. Leaking valves. Stuck dampers. Forgotten overrides. The faults that quietly drive up utility bills almost always show up after the original Cx is signed off.
A 100,000 sq ft building spending $1.50/sq ft on HVAC can usually claw back $15K–$45K a year.
Read, write, verify. Most functional testing is the same handful of steps, repeated thousands of times. Let the software do the repetition.
A test that took a tech a full day in the field finishes in minutes - report already done.
Short-cycling compressors, hunting valves, runaway setpoints. The same faults that waste energy also chew through equipment. Catching them early beats catching them at 2 a.m.
Pushing one chiller or RTU replacement out a few years pays for the platform many times over.
Every test, every override, every value read or written is timestamped. When a sequence drifts during the warranty period, you have proof instead of a debate.
Fewer arguments. Fewer re-test trips. Cleaner closeouts.
Tests, point lists, and results all live in one place. Build a sequence once and reuse it across 50 VAV boxes or 12 buildings.
Standing up a new site goes from weeks to days.
Run tests from the cloud against Haystack, BACnet, MQTT, OPC UA, or SNMP equipment. Figure out remotely whether you actually need to send someone out.
Less windshield time. Fewer emergency callbacks.
Two audiences, one platform. Both sides of the contract get a tool they actually want to use.
Four steps from a cold building to continuous commissioning.
Pull in points from Haystack, BACnet, MQTT, OPC UA, or SNMP. Add anything missing by hand.
Build read / write / verify sequences with your own pass-fail criteria, or start from the shared ASHRAE library.
Execute against live equipment. Results, deltas, and overrides land in one dashboard.
Pick a cadence. Let the system flag drift before it shows up on the utility bill.
If you're already paying for commissioning, you might as well keep the savings going after the report is signed.
