Commissioning i byggeriet er en proaktiv dialog- og kvalitetsstyringsproces, der fokuserer på totaløkonomi og installationernes samspil. Commissioning-processen sikrer det lavest mulige energiforbrug, et godt indeklima og velfungerende rammer for brugernes aktiviteter. Målet med vejledningen er, at inspirere byggeriets parter til at bruge commissioning til at sikre byggeriets kvalitet og en energieffektiv drift. Vejledningen er delt op i to dele:
