What are the consequences of not commissioning an HVAC system?

Failure to commission an HVAC system can lead to reduced system performance, increased energy consumption, and compromised indoor air quality. Uncommissioned systems may not operate at optimal levels, resulting in decreased comfort, increased maintenance costs, and a shorter system lifespan. Additionally, uncommissioned systems may not meet energy efficiency goals, leading to higher energy bills and environmental impacts. In extreme cases, uncommissioned systems can even pose safety risks to building occupants.
