Why Participate?
• Retrocommissioning (RCx) is a cost-effective process for optimizing building performance. Studies show that RCx typically saves owners 5 - 20% of total building energy costs.
• Improvements are usually inexpensive to install and have a simple payback from energy savings alone averaging 2 years or less. Most improvements can be achieved from controls changes alone, with no need for expensive equipment retrofits.
• The benefits from RCx translate into increased profitability by reducing operating expenses, increasing net operating income (NOI) and providing quicker returns
on investment, which can all lead to a higher appraised building value.
• By participating in the San Diego RCx Program, you can improve your bottom line and your building’s operations without spending time or money to search out
just the right firm. The Program's experienced engineers specialize in detecting
and correcting inefficient building operations.
What does the San Diego RCx Program offer?
• A no-cost building screening study to determine if the building is a good candidate for RCx.
• Financial assistance for:
- An in-depth RCx investigation that identifies specific O&M improvements
to mechanical equipment, lighting, refrigeration, and related controls.
- Implementing measures that save you energy and money.
• Training building operators in maintaining improved building operations and
utilizing updated system documentation.
• A pre- and post-project energy benchmark will be established using the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Energy Performance Rating system available through the ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager program.

“At Marriott, we’ve found that retro-
commissioning saves us time and money. At one property, we expect to save nearly $500,000 annually in energy costs from implementing retrocommissioning measures - and the project will pay for itself in less than one year. We’re using the San Diego RCx Program to continue our efforts in this area.”
-E.J. Hilts, Regional Energy Manager for Marriott (Western Region)
