F. Section 26 91 00 – Commissioning of Lighting Control System

G. Section 28 91 00 – Commissioning of Fire Alarm System

1.03 DEFINITIONS

A. Acceptance Phase - phase of construction after startup and initial checkout when functional performance tests, operation and maintenance documentation review, and training occurs.

B. Approval - acceptance that a piece of equipment or system has been properly installed and is functioning in tested modes according to Contract Documents.

C. Architect / Engineer - Prime consultant and subconsultants who comprise design team, generally HVAC mechanical designer/engineer and electrical designer/engineer.

D. Basis of Design - The basis of design is documentation of primary thought processes and assumptions behind design decisions that were made to meet design intent. The basis of design describes systems, components, conditions and methods chosen to meet intent. Some reiterating of design intent may be included.

E. Commissioning Authority - an independent agent, associated with Architect / Engineer team members but not otherwise associated Contractor. Commissioning Authority directs and coordinates day-to-

GENERAL COMMISSIONING REQUIREMENTS 29435.01.00

Page 2, Rev. 1 - SECTION 01 91 00 ms2097 day commissioning activities. Commissioning Authority does not take an oversight role like Construction Manager.

The Commissioning Firm for this project is Edmonds Engineering Inc. with offices at 3601 Watermelon Road, Northport, AL 35473.

The Lead Commissioning Authority for Edmonds Engineering is Alan Bailey, PE, (334) 546-6927.

abailey@edmondsengineering.com.

F. Commissioning Plan - an overall plan, developed before or after bidding, that provides structure, schedule and coordination planning for commissioning process.

G. Contractor - Provider of labor, materials, equipment, and services to complete the Work as outlined in the Contract Documents.

H. Control system - central building energy management control system.

I. Construction Manager:

1. Owner’s representative in day-to-day activities of construction. In general, construction management services contractor is hired by Owner to assist in overall management of project including supervising and on-site managing authority over a project’s construction. The General Contractor reports to Construction Manager. Construction Manager is Owner’s on-site representative.

2. When Commissioning Authority is hired by Contractor or Architect / Engineer, Construction Manager referred to in commissioning process is a member of Construction Manager team (staff or independent contractor) who shall have direct significant mechanical engineering and commissioning experience. That person designated from Construction Manager team is owner’s representative verifying adequacy of commissioning process. In this case, Construction Manager will be more involved in commissioning work and in witnessing portions of process (selected start-up and functional tests) and reviewing documents (test approvals, etc.) than in following case.

J. CxA – Commissioning Authority

K. Data Logging - monitoring flows, currents, status, pressures, etc. of equipment using stand-alone data loggers separate from control system.

L. Deferred Functional Tests - Functional tests that are performed later, after substantial completion, due to partial occupancy, equipment, seasonal requirements, design or other site conditions that disallow test from being performed.

M. Deficiency - a condition in installation or function of a component, piece of equipment or system that is not in compliance with Contract Documents (that is, does not perform properly or is not complying with design intent).

N. Design Intent - a dynamic document that provides explanation of ideas, concepts and criteria that are considered to be very important to owner. It is initially outcome of programming and conceptual design phases.

O. Design Narrative or Design Documentation - sections of either Design Intent or Basis of Design.

P. EOR – Design Engineer of Record.

Q. Factory Testing - testing of equipment on-site or at factory by factory personnel with an Owner’s representative present.

R. Functional Performance Test - test of dynamic function and operation of equipment and systems using manual (direct observation) or monitoring methods. Functional testing is dynamic testing of systems (rather than just components) under full operation (e.g., chiller pump is tested interactively ms2097 SECTION 01 91 00 - Page 3, Rev. 1 with chiller functions to see if pump ramps up and down to maintain differential pressure setpoint).

Systems are tested under various modes, such as during low cooling or heating loads, high loads, component failures, unoccupied, varying outside air temperatures, fire alarm, power failure, etc.

Systems are run through all control system’s sequences of operation and components are verified to be responding as sequences state. Traditional air or water test and balancing is not functional testing, in the commissioning sense of the word. Testing and balancing contractor’s primary work is setting up system flows and pressures as specified, while functional testing is verifying that which has already been set up. Commissioning Authority develops functional test procedures in a sequential written form, coordinates, oversees and documents actual testing, which is usually performed by installing contractor or vendor. Functional tests are performed after prefunctional checklists and startup are complete.

S. Indirect Indicators - indicators of a response or condition, such as a reading from a control system screen reporting a damper to be 100% closed.

T. Manual Test - using hand-held instruments, immediate control system readouts or direct observation to verify performance (contrasted to analyzing monitored data taken over time to make “observation”).

U. Monitoring - recording of parameters (flow, current, status, pressure, etc.) of equipment operation using data loggers or trending capabilities of control systems.

V. Noncompliance - see Deficiency.

W. Nonconformance - see Deficiency.

X. Overwritten Value - writing over a sensor value in control system to see response of a system (e.g., changing outside air temperature value from 50F to 75F to verify economizer operation). See also “Simulated Signal.”

Y. Owner-Contracted Tests - tests paid for by Owner outside of the Agreement with Contractor and for which Commissioning Authority does not oversee. Tests will not be repeated during functional tests if properly documented.

Z. Phased Commissioning - commissioning that is completed in phases (by floors, for example) due to size of structure or other scheduling issues, in order minimize total construction time.

AA. Prefunctional Checklist - a list of items to inspect and elementary component tests to conduct to verify proper installation of equipment, provided by Commissioning Authority to Subcontractor.

Prefunctional checklists are primarily static inspections and procedures to prepare equipment or system for initial operation (e.g., belt tension, oil levels OK, labels affixed, gages in place, sensors calibrated, etc.). However, some prefunctional checklist items entail simple testing of function of a component, a piece of equipment or system (such as measuring voltage imbalance on a three phase pump motor of a chiller system). The word ‘prefunctional’ refers to before functional testing.

Prefunctional checklists augment and are combined with manufacturer’s start-up checklist.

BB. Project Manager - contracting and managing authority for Owner over design and/or construction of project, a staff position.

CC. Sampling. - functionally testing only a fraction of total number of identical or near identical pieces of equipment. Refer to article “Functional Performance Testing” for additional details.

DD. Seasonal Performance Tests – Functional Tests that are deferred until system(s) will experience conditions closer to their design conditions.

EE. Simulated Condition - condition that is created for purpose of testing response of a system (e.g., applying a hair blower to a space sensor to see response in a VAV box).

Page 4, Rev. 1 - SECTION 01 91 00 ms2097

FF. Simulated Signal - disconnecting a sensor and using a signal generator to send an amperage, resistance or pressure to transducer and DDC system to simulate a sensor value.

GG. Startup - initial starting or activating of dynamic equipment, including executing prefunctional checklists.

HH. Subcontractors – Specialty contractors who hold contracts with the Contractor to furnish and install building components and systems.

II. Test Procedures - step-by-step process which must be executed to fulfill test requirements. The test procedures are developed by Commissioning Authority.

JJ. Test Requirements - requirements specifying what modes and functions, etc. shall be tested. The test requirements are not detailed test procedures. The test requirements are specified in Contract Documents

KK. Trending - monitoring using building control system.

LL. Vendor - supplier of equipment.

1.04 SUBMITTALS

A. Commissioning Authority will provide appropriate Subcontractors with specific request for type of submittal documentation Commissioning Authority requires to facilitate commissioning work.

Requests will be integrated into normal submittal process and protocol of construction team. At minimum, request will include manufacturer and model number, manufacturer’s printed installation and detailed start-up procedures, full sequences of operation, operation and maintenance data, performance data, any performance test procedures, control drawings and details of Owner-contracted tests. In addition, installation and checkout materials that are actually shipped inside equipment and actual field checkout sheet forms to be used by factory or field technicians shall be submitted to Commissioning authority. All documentation requested by Commissioning Authority will be included by Subcontractors in their operation and maintenance data manual contributions.

B. Commissioning Authority will review submittals related to commissioned equipment for conformance to Contract Documents as it relates to commissioning process, to functional performance of equipment and adequacy for developing test procedures. Review will be primarily to aid in development of functional testing procedures and only secondarily to verify compliance with equipment specifications. Commissioning Authority will notify Construction Manager, Project Manager, or Architect / Engineer as requested, of items missing or areas that are not in conformance with Contract Documents and which require resubmission.

C. Commissioning Authority may request additional design narrative from Architect / Engineer and controls contractor, depending on completeness of design intent documentation and sequences provided with Specifications.

D. Submittals to Commissioning Authority do not constitute compliance for operation and maintenance manual documentation. Operation and maintenance manuals are responsibility of Contractor, though Commissioning Authority will review them.

E. Written work products: Commissioning process generates a number of written work products described in various parts of Specifications. Commissioning plan lists all formal written work products, describes briefly their contents, who is responsible to create them, their due dates, who receives and approves them and location of specification to create them. Written products are:
