Strategic Commissioning for
Smarter, Greener Buildings.

At Budlong, we approach commissioning with a future-ready mindset, ensuring that buildings operate at peak performance while meeting evolving sustainability standards. Over the past several years, owners have increasingly recognized the advantages of independent commissioning and LEED® Certification, from lower utility costs and improved indoor environmental quality to enhanced employee productivity, reduced maintenance expenses, and greater occupancy safety. As sustainability and green building practices continue to gain public awareness, commissioning has become a vital component of responsible, efficient building management.

We understand that every client has unique objectives—there is no one-size-fits-all approach. That’s why we take the time to collaborate closely with owners, architects, and project teams to fully understand their priorities. Whether providing On-Monitoring Based Commissioning, acting as a Commissioning Authority (CxA), or tailoring a specialized plan, we ensure that every project benefits from a commissioning process designed to optimize performance, energy efficiency, and long-term value.

Just wanted to say thanks again for all the hard work and dedication on our Lost Hills lab project! Now that we’ve been in there and able to set up our equipment, it’s been a pretty seamless transition. I thought we’d have some growing pains, but everything was well designed and accessible, it’s been real easy to pass the baton and start running.

Thanks for everything you did – if there’s ever an opportunity to support you all we would be happy to do it. You guys rock!
