1.0 Commissioning Program Overview

1.1 Goals and Objectives

Commissioning (Cx) is a systematic process of ensuring that all the building’s energy related systems are installed and calibrated and perform interactively according to the design intent and operational needs. This is achieved by beginning at the design phase with documented design and operating intent and continuing through construction and acceptance with actual verification of performance.

The purpose of commissioning plan is to identify the scope, strategies and responsibilities for all of the team members within the commissioning process for design and construction phases of the project. It outlines the overall process, schedule, organization, responsibilities and documentation for the commissioning process.

Commissioning during design is intended to achieve the following specific objectives:

Ensure that the design and operational intent are clearly documented.

Ensure that recommendations are communicated to the design team during design to aid the development of commissioning and avoid later contract modifications.

Ensure that commissioning for the construction phase is adequately reflected in the construction documents.

Commissioning during the construction of this project is intended to achieve the following specific objectives:

Ensure that applicable equipment and systems are installed properly and receive adequate operational checkout by installing contractors.

Ensure building envelope is air-tight and spaces receive positive pressurization when specified.

Verify and document proper performance of equipment and systems through normal and other likely operational modes necessary to meet design intent.

Ensure that O&M documentation provided to Owner is complete.

Ensure that the Owner’s operating personnel are adequately trained.

2.2 Roles and Responsibilities

2.2.1 General

General descriptions of the commissioning roles are as follows:

CxA: Primary point of contact for the government regarding the commissioning work. Coordinates the Cx process, develops and updates Cx Plan, provide review of design documents in reference to Owner’s Project Requirements, reports any deficiencies that would prevent the building systems and features from operating or performing effectively, reviews construction documents for commissioning requirements, oversees the commissioning work. Develops and maintains an Issues Log for tracking and resolution of all deficiencies discovered through commissioning review, inspection, and testing.

CxM: Member of CxA Team. Reviews construction documents for commissioning requirements for HVAC Systems, plumbing systems and lighting controls, reports any HVAC and plumbing design deficiencies that would prevent the building systems and features from operating or performing effectively. Writes or approves commissioning tests, oversees and documents performance tests.

Develops commissioning report.

CxE: Member of CxA Team. Conducts electrical systems tests.

CxB: Member of CxA Team. Reviews construction documents for commissioning requirements for Building Envelope, reports any building envelope design deficiencies that would prevent the building systems and features from operating or performing effectively. Conducts building envelope tests.

CM: Performs construction management. Coordinates with GC and CxA.

Facilitates the Cx process. Approves test plans and signs-off on performance.

Performs construction observation, approves O&M manuals (design- build contracts).

GC: Facilitates the Cx process. Ensures that Subs perform their responsibilities and integrates Cx into the construction process and schedule.

QCR: Responsible for overall coordination of the General Contractor and sub-contractors in the execution of the commissioning activities.

Subs: Demonstrate proper system performance.

DOR: Develops and updates Basis of Design, incorporates commissioning requirements in construction documents. Performs construction observation, approves O&M manuals (design-build contracts) and assists in resolving problems.

2.3 Communication Protocol, Coordination, Meetings and Management

2.3.1 Coordination of Commissioning During Design

The DM will be the coordinator of the commissioning activities during design. The CxA for the design phase makes any necessary clarifications and changes to the Commissioning Plan.

2.3.1.1 Meetings

The DM will be the coordinator of the commissioning meetings during design. A kick-off meeting will be held with the design team at the beginning of Construction Documents Phase.

This meeting is held after the Cx Plan has been finalized. The meeting includes reviewing the process and outlining each party’s responsibilities. This meeting may be combined with a larger meeting agenda.

Design review conferences will include an agenda item for commissioning if the CxA or the DOR asks the DM to place it on the meeting agenda. The CxA will attend all design review meetings that include an agenda item for commissioning.

2.3.2 Coordination of Commissioning During Construction

In general, the CxA coordinates the commissioning activities and reports to the CM and GC.

The CxA’s responsibilities, along with all other contractors’ commissioning responsibilities are detailed in the specifications. The Specifications will take precedence over this Cx Plan. All members work together to fulfill their contracted responsibilities and meet the objectives of the Contract Documents.

2.3.3 Communication Protocols

The following protocols will be used on this project.

Issue Protocol

For requests for information (RFI) or formal documentation requests:

Construction: The CxA goes through the CM.

For minor or verbal information and clarifications:

The CxA goes directly to the informed party.

For notifying contractors of deficiencies: Construction: The CxA documents deficiencies through the CM, but may discuss deficiency issues with contractors prior to notifying the CM.

For scheduling functional tests or training: The CxA may provide input for and do some coordination of training and testing, but does not do any scheduling.

For scheduling commissioning meetings: Construction: The CxA selects the date and schedules through the CM and GC.

For making a request for significant changes: The CxA has no authority to issue change orders.

Issue

For making small changes in specified sequences of operations:

Protocol

The CxA- may make small sequences of operations changes to improve efficiency or control or to correct deficiencies, through the responsible contractor, but shall document the change and provide all changes of specified sequences to the CM, MER and DOR.

The CxA may not make changes to specified major sequences without approval from the MER and DOR.

Subcontractors disagreeing with requests or interpretations by the CxA shall:

Try and resolve with the CxA first. Then work through GC who will work with CxA directly or through the CM to resolve the situation.
