MAS DynamicsCommissioning Authority

Independent commissioning for buildings that have to perform.

MAS Dynamics is a third-party Commissioning Authority for LEED and high-performance projects. We verify that HVAC, controls, lighting, plumbing and the building enclosure are designed, installed and operated the way the owner intended, and we document it in the form LEED reviewers expect.

Supply air temperature trend Before commissioning the supply air temperature swings about five degrees above and below the 55 degree setpoint. After the control loop is corrected it settles within half a degree. 50°F55°F60°F Setpoint 55°F As installed After functional testing Day 1Day 2Day 3Day 4
Illustrative 4-day trend of an air handler's supply air temperature. As installed, the valve hunts around setpoint. After functional testing finds the tuning fault and the loop is corrected, it holds within half a degree.

What we commission

LEED Fundamental and Enhanced Commissioning

CxA services for LEED v4 and v4.1 BD+C, ID+C and O+M: OPR and BOD review, Cx plan, design and submittal review, functional performance testing, systems manual and the 10-month review.

LEED commissioning scope

Building enclosure commissioning

Enclosure design review, mock-up and field test coordination, air barrier and water intrusion verification under ASTM E2813 and NIBS Guideline 3.

Enclosure Cx scope

Existing building and monitoring-based Cx

Retro-commissioning and MBCx for LEED O+M and ENERGY STAR portfolios, with energy modeling to size the savings before fieldwork starts.

Existing building Cx scope

Every issue, test and sign-off in one place

Glodra is the commissioning platform we built to run our own projects. Owners and contractors see the same live status we do, from the first design review comment to the last closed deficiency.

  • Equipment master list built from the schedules
  • Pre-functional checklists signed on site from a tablet
  • Functional tests per equipment, with trend evidence
  • Issues log with photos, owner and verification date
  • LEED-ready Cx report, systems manual and document trail

Track record

207project references since 2010
20countries on four continents
98certified projects across LEED, EDGE and Fitwel
20LEED Platinum certifications

Why an independent CxA

LEED requires the Commissioning Authority to be independent of the design and construction teams. That independence is also what makes the findings useful to the owner.

  • Led by an ASHRAE BCxP and LEED AP BD+C and O+M
  • Design review that catches sequence of operations and controls gaps before they reach the field
  • Every deliverable formatted for LEED Online upload, and reviewer comments answered by us
  • Fixed-fee proposals by phase, returned within five business days
