CA, Mechanical Acceptance Testing/Documentation
Acceptance testing is the process by which a field technician verifies the installation and operation of newly installed equipment or construction elements of a nonresidential building. Since 2005, the Building Energy Efficiency Standards (Standards) has required acceptance testing for nonresidential buildings. Acceptance testing ensures that installed equipment, controls, and systems in nonresidential buildings operate as required by the Standards and that the building owner and occupants receive the desired energy efficiency benefits. Acceptance testing is currently required for a wide range of installations including (but not limited to): Insulation, Lighting Controls, Mechanical Systems (domestic hot water, heating, ventilation and air conditioning or HVAC), and other Covered Processes (i.e., escalators, elevators, refrigerated warehouses, etc.).
Building Commissioning
"Today's HVAC systems must be energy efficient, satisfy stringent indoor air quality and comfort expectations, and still be designed and constructed within tight budgets. System designs meeting these demands typically have many components, sub-systems, and controls. Additionally, building construction involves many specialized trades that often work independently of one another." For a full description, click on the button below.
LEED Building Commissioning
LEED Commissioning Further support the design, construction, and eventual operation of a project that meets the owner's project requirements for energy, water, indoor environmental quality, and durability. For a full description, click on the button below.
Retro Building Commissioning
Retro-commissioning is a systematic process performed by a team of Technicians and Engineers to identify systems that have shifted away from original design operating parameters. In any building changes throughout the years occur whether through internal remodeling or use of space. For a full description, click on the button below.
ASHRAE Building Energy Auditing
Energy audits are the first step in identifying if a building's capital expenses can be reduced. Level 1 energy audit is the most commonly used to quickly identify energy usage between similar buildings. In the case where property managers can easily access data from multiple buildings and energy analysis can easily determine which building needs to have a further analysis to correct and restore energy systems operation to the intent design.

Building Automation Systems (BAS)
Galicia Ghost Comms was established to meet the urgent need for faster, more efficient commissioning in critical facilities, including data centers. Our company provides expert consultation services to design, deploy, and operate temporary automated control systems. These systems accelerate commissioning in mission-critical environments by continuously monitoring, diagnosing, and managing HVAC systems to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
Our dedicated technicians collaborate closely with mechanical and electrical contractors to enable precise external load control and comprehensive warranty testing for newly installed equipment. By streamlining the commissioning process, we help stakeholders achieve operational readiness quickly while maintaining high standards of quality, safety, and compliance.
Our expertise encompasses selecting the appropriate control systems and parameters for HVAC units, chillers, boilers, lighting systems, water heating systems, and refrigerated warehouses. Our goal is to ensure optimal energy efficiency and performance in your data center's mechanical systems.
Our control modules are operated by our service controls technician, who could be on-site or remotely depending on the customer's needs. We design automation algorithms and logic to control equipment as customer needs change, and we provide an easy-to-use front-end interface to monitor or control equipment. We program real-time warning alarms to send emails or visual alarms to building operators.
Critical Process Breakdown Contingency Planning
For many facilities, the most critical part of the business is the equipment that keeps the business productive. When that equipment or the systems that supports that equipment breaks down, the business can start to suffer quickly as production grinds to a halt, revenue begins to fall, profits. Short-term effects can lead to very difficult long-term consequences for the business if production is not restored quickly. For a full description, click on the button below.
