ACSI's Mission Statement: To fully understand the process and programmatic requirements of the Owner and to help assure the successful design, integration, installation and performance testing of critical building related systems.
ACSI has over 20 years of experience providing a wide range of building system commissioning services and routinely assembles teams of Commissioning Authorities (CxA) based on the scope and unique characteristics of the systems to be commissioned. The firm's approach to commissioning (Cx) services is based on those promulgated by the Building Commissioning Association (BCA) including subscribing to their “attributes” which establish the highest levels of professionalism and ethics for commissioning practitioners. As a long-standing BCA member firm, ACSI’s key Cx staff members are association members with some holding the BCA Certified Commissioning Professional (CCP) credential. Additionally, ACSI is a BCA-Certified Commissioning Firm (CCF).
As experienced electrical (power) and electronic systems design engineers, ACSI’s Cx staff knows most of the pitfalls associated with planning, designing and constructing building power, lighting and electronic systems. In particular, the firm has been practicing in the electronic systems services market for over thirty years with hundreds of multi-million dollar systems including those for communications, security and control successfully implemented for both public and private sector clients. All of ACSI’s engineers have extensive hands-on experience which gives them a focused “sixth sense” about systems operation and performance. As a recognized industry expert, ACSI has been engaged as a successful forensic investigator and problem solver on more than ten cases where installed electronic systems failed to perform as specified.

ACSI does not subscribe to the implementation of generic Cx plans and test procedures. We believe these are frequently insufficient to achieve a complete Cx characterization of the final conditions of the project. ACSI develops tailored Cx plans and test procedures to match the specific system types, technologies and configurations, the chosen project delivery method (design-bid-build, design-build, etc.) and the Owner’s detailed operational requirements. Further, we supplement the “normal” Cx observations and measurements with many additional ones that provide invaluable reference data supportive of more efficient future system systems maintenance activities.
