Commissioning
Features
- Commissioning specifications and plan documents are developed to clearly define the scope and schedule for all commissioning activities
- Design review verifies alignment with the Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR) document, checks for quality and coordination, and ensures proper design specifications for each discipline
- LEED commissioning occurs for those seeking certification and will involve a Commissioning Authority (CxA)
- Schedule integration brings together commissioning and construction schedules for reporting to all parties
- Contractor submittal reviews verify compliance with the OPR, evaluate submittals for system-wide operational considerations, and make recommendations for correcting any variances
- Installation and startup is completed per the manufacturer’s recommendations, industry accepted standards, and the OPR
- Pre-functional equipment verification for each major piece of equipment is completed to confirm compliance with the OPR and construction documents
- Functional and integrated systems testing confirms all equipment operates per design intent and works collectively as an integrated system under designed load and emergency conditions
- Training verification from qualified trainers is provided for both O&M staff and facility owners
- Commissioning report details the entire project to demonstrate systems are performing in accordance with the final OPR
- Systems manual and operating procedures are developed to ensure O&M staff has the right resource for effective system operations for many years to come
- System optimization allows for fine-tuning of equipment settings or schemes after the commissioned systems are operational
- Seasonal testing is performed during the project’s occupancy phase because specific environmental conditions cannot be simulated during construction
- Warranty review ensures any operational or system performance issues are resolved before the warranty expires
Benefits
- Greater availability and reliability of critical systems is achieved through verification and documentation of proper system installation, startup, and operation
- Less unplanned downtime results from early detection and correction of problems
- Fewer repairs are likely due to proper planning and design of systems from day one
- Reduced lifecycle costs result from optimizing system performance
- More convenient, single-source accountability is achieved through streamlined project management and communication from your commissioning agent
- More cost-effective problem resolution arises from identifying issues early in the process
- Fuller system integration results from verifying that all system components work not just independently, but as an integrated system
- Better informed workforce occurs as the result of training verification and the development of quality system manuals and clear operating procedures
- Enhanced ongoing maintenance and performance optimization is achieved based on benchmarking data established during the commissioning process
- Improved efficiency results from verification of efficiency features as part of the commissioning process
- Enhanced safety and compliance results from identifying safety hazards during design reviews, inspections, testing, and occupancy
- Streamlined LEED certification process occurs by commissioning per LEED requirements
- More substantial return on investment results from preventing problems and downtime
