Rentaload, the expert in commissioning solutions for data centres
What exactly is commissioning?
According to the American Society for Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) , “it is a quality-driven process for realising, evaluating and documenting that the performance of buildings, systems and assemblies meet initially well-defined objectives and criteria”. It’s a meticulous process that’s essential for guaranteeing the quality and reliability of a new datacenter. “Done correctly, commissioning improves system performance throughout the lifecycle of a datacenter. Better system performance not only optimizes datacenter performance, but also lowers operating and maintenance costs, and reduces energy consumption for lower electricity bills.” – Michael Donato, Data Center Knowledge. Commissioning involves different levels of testing:
- Level 1 : Factory Test or Factory Acceptance Test (FAT)
- Level 2 : Inspection or on-site acceptance test (SAT)
- Level 3 : Pre-functional testing (EPF) or component functional testing (EFC)
- Level 4 : Functional Performance Test (FT) or Functional System Test (FST)
- Level 5 : Integrated Systems Testing (IST)
Rentaload is available for levels 3, 4 and 5.
The optimised commissioning solution in 4 steps
Rentaload has been providing commissioning services for data centers for several years. This service includes
- Drafting the test protocol upstream
- Carrying out on-site tests
- Data recording and processing
- Preparation of the final test report
SMART equipment and solutions
We’ve always been driven by the vision that commissioning can be done differently. This phase can be further optimized with the help of SMART equipment and solutions, which are essential for successful testing and support before and during testing:
- connected load banks,
- monitoring software,
- set of measuring equipment
At the cutting edge of technology, they respond perfectly to the needs and requirements of end-customers to optimize testing:
- low Delta T,
- Integrated TTY,
- load sharing 50/50
- feedback of extremely precise measurements.
Customer benefits:
- Save time in carrying out your tests (up to 20% according to feedback from our customers);
- Bring real added value to your tests. The data collected during the tests provide a real “vital map” of the data centre before its first commissioning.
- Differentiate yourself from competitors by enhancing this test phase and providing valuable data for the future management of the datacentre.

The different types of tests associated with our load banks
Testimonial Dalkia, Project Manager :
“The Commissioning service allowed us to check the Datacentre tunnel and its proper functioning. A final report listing all the electrical & thermal data was then provided to us, allowing us to confirm the proper functioning of the tunnel with the few adjustment points to be This service is for us a real guarantee of the proper functioning of our infrastructure, its compliance and it is also a subsequent means of improving the performance of our datacenter. We highly recommend it.”
Testimonial Bouygues Energies et Services, Business Group Manager :
“We were also satisfied with the Commissioning service. The 2 Rentaload experts who came to carry out the tests were really competent and extremely responsive to the requests of the client and the design office. A whole host of details could also be settled on site, which we greatly appreciated (= time saving)! The final test report took a little longer to arrive, but the client was still very happy with the service.”
