Make sure your new construction project gets off to a strong start with Building Commissioning Assistance from Seattle City Light. Commissioning is a systematic process to ensure that complex commercial building energy systems perform the way they are supposed to. City Light supports commissioning through educational materials, links to qualified commissioning professionals, and financial incentives.
