Commissioning done right — from first startup to professional handover

The first startup of a ventilation system is a critical project milestone. Settings, airflow, controls, and sensors all need to work together so the unit performs as intended from the start and the handover to the end customer runs smoothly.

With Zehnder Care Commissioning, trained technicians professionally set up, test and balance your ventilation system. From initial startup and configuration to airflow measurement, functional testing and documentation, we make sure the system is ready to operate as intended. This reduces the commissioning workload for your team while supporting a smooth and professional handover to your customer or building operator.

 

Your benefits:
  • Reduce commissioning workload for your team with support from trained Zehnder technicians
  • Ensure a professional system setup with configuration, testing, airflow measurement and balancing
  • Support a smooth project handover to your customer, operator or responsible contact person
  • Receive documented commissioning results for greater transparency
  • Add specialist services when required, such as additional module commissioning, Tube Cleaning or system instruction
  • Rely on Zehnder system expertise from initial startup through to professional handover

What is included?

Our commissioning service is designed to get new systems started professionally and consistently.
 

Our commissioning service includes:
  • First-time commissioning of the ventilation unit
  • Initial system setup, including connected sensors and controls
  • Functional testing of the ventilation unit and system
  • Measurement of supply and extract airflows
  • Balancing of the ventilation system by adjusting supply and extract air valves
  • Verification of the system configuration and operation
  • Service documentation of the completed commissioning
Small / Medium / Large system

Choose the right Commissioning service for your system

All three options include the same professional commissioning process. The appropriate service is selected based on the design airflow of the system.

SMALL

Airflow: 0–150 m³/h
Price: € XXX

per 1 ventilation unit

MEDIUM

Airflow: 151–350 m³/h
Price: € XXX

per 1 ventilation unit

LARGE

Airflow: 351–600 m³/h
Price: € XXX

per 1 ventilation unit

The indicated service price applies to the commissioning of one ventilation unit. For multiple units, larger projects or applications outside the standard scope, please contact us for a project-specific quotation.

What we do — And why it makes a difference

Our trained Zehnder technicians carry out a structured first-time commissioning of the centralised unit, 
including the following steps:

Initial system setup

We professionally prepare the ventilation system for operation.

Our technician starts up the ventilation unit for the first time and configures the relevant system settings, connected controls and sensors. This creates the correct foundation for the subsequent testing and balancing of the system.

Functional testing

We verify that the ventilation unit and system are operating correctly.

Key functions and connected components are checked to confirm that the system responds and operates as expected before airflow measurement and balancing are performed.

Airflow measurement & balancing

We measure and balance the ventilation system according to the intended system setup.

Supply and extract airflows are measured and the relevant valves are adjusted to achieve the required air distribution throughout the system.

System verification

We perform a final check of the configuration and operation.

Once measurement and balancing are complete, our technician verifies the system settings and operation to make sure the ventilation system is ready for professional handover.

Documentation & handover

We document the commissioning and make sure the responsible person understands the basics of the system.

After commissioning, you receive documentation of the completed work and relevant commissioning results. A short system instruction covering the basic operation is always included as part of the handover. If a more detailed walkthrough of the system, settings, controls and recommended use is required, this can be selected as an additional onboarding service.

Complete the service based on your project needs

Every installation is different. Our standardized Commissioning service can be combined with additional services where required, giving you the flexibility to select the support that is relevant to your project.
 

Optional services include:
  • Filter replacement set and/or additional filter sets
  • Commissioning of additional modules, such as ComfoClime
  • Tube Cleaning where construction-related dust or contamination needs to be removed
  • Additional customer/system onboarding or instruction

A smooth path from project readiness to final handover

1. Share your project details

Tell us about the ventilation unit, installation status, project requirements and preferred timing.

2. Confirm the right service

We confirm the appropriate Commissioning Service and any optional services required for your project.

3. We commission the system

Once the installation is ready, our technician performs the agreed commissioning activities on site.

4. Documentation & handover

After commissioning, you receive the service documentation and the system is ready for handover.

Commissioning should be scheduled once the installation is complete and the system is ready for technical commissioning.
