From witnessing testing and compliance procedures to guaranteeing effective handover of facility
documentation, Dar offers comprehensive commissioning services to ensure high-performance
facilities operations from day one. Our services include witnessing tests, reviewing
documentation, verifying the availability of operation and maintenance documents, and verifying
operational readiness.
As an additional service, our Automated Commissioning (ACx) service systematically tests and
validates field devices through a hardware interface with the Building Management System (BMS).
This process ensures safety by using allow-lists, priority arrays, and timestamped action logs.
Initiated within the Energy Management and Information System (EMIS) and the Fault Detection and
Diagnostics (FDD) platform, ACx verifies the operations of devices monitored and controlled by
Building Automation Systems (BAS).

operating and maintaining complex equipment.
