Because performance drifts the moment a building opens, commissioning is not a one-off event but a cycle. Re-commissioning is the periodic repetition of the key checks that restore a building to its intended performance, and continuous commissioning is the modern approach that catches drift as it happens rather than years later. This closing lesson covers when to re-commission, the quick checklist that recovers most of the lost performance, and the shift to continuous monitoring that makes drift a matter of days rather than years.
