How can an electrical-related or energy-saving project turn the final QA step to be completed faster, more accurately, and with better documentation?

In this episode of the Project Advantage Podcast, Cory Peterson sits down with Thomas Jarloev, Founder and CEO of CX Planner, to explain how commissioning is evolving from manual checklists into structured digital QA workflows.

They explore how electricians, contractors, and building owners can apply commissioning principles to improve QA processes, system verification, and project handoff across energy-saving and other electrical projects.
