PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 CONSTRUCTION CHECKLIST REVIEW

Review and provide written comments on draft Construction Checklists. CxG will create required draft Construction Checklists and provide them to Contractor.

Return draft Construction Checklist review comments within 10 days of receipt.

Download example Building Envelope Inspection Checklists, Construction Checklists, Functional Performance Test Checklists, and Integrated Systems Test Checklists at the following location:

http://wbdg.org/ccb/NAVGRAPH/graphtoc.pdf . The checklists provided for review will contain the same level of detail shown in the examples. The submitted checklists are not required to match the format of the examples.

The Building Envelope Technical Commissioning Specialist must review the Template Building Envelope Inspection Checklists. Confirm that items in the Building Envelope Inspection Checklists are sufficient to verify the building materials and construction maintain the required thermal and moisture integrity and air tightness of the building envelope system.

When review comments have been resolved, CxG will provide final Construction Checklists marked "Approved for Use, (date)."

Use only Construction Checklists marked "Approved for Use, (date). "

3.2 GENERAL TESTING REQUIREMENTS

If tests cannot be completed because of a deficiency outside the scope of the building enclosure systems, document the deficiency and report it to the Contracting Officer. After deficiencies are resolved, reschedule tests.

If seasonal testing is specified, complete appropriate initial performance tests and documentation and schedule seasonal tests.

Coordinate schedule with, and perform Cx activities at, the direction of the CxG.

3.3 BUILDING ENVELOPE COMMISSIONING

Refer to and coordinate with Section 07 05 23.01 00 PRESSURE TESTING AN

AIR BARRIER SYSTEM FOR AIR TIGHTNESS.

Document building envelope inspection by the commissioning team using the approved Template Building Envelope Inspection Checklists. Indicate

SECTION 01 91 19.01 00 Page 5 commissioning team member inspection and acceptance of each Building Envelope Inspection Checklist item by initials at the time they are inspected and found to be in conformance with contract requirements.

Inspect checklist items before they become hidden as construction progresses.

a. Submit the completed and initialed Building Envelope Inspection Checklists no later than 7 calendar days after completion of inspection of all checklists items. Submit one hard copy and an electronic copy.

b. The Building Envelope Technical Commissioning Specialist must make at least two site visits to the site to observe construction of the building envelope in-progress. On each visit, the Building Envelope Commissioning Specialist must review the Contractor's in-progress checklists to ensure that the commissioning team is inspecting the building envelope as required.

c. The Building Envelope Technical Commissioning Specialist must witness the building envelope pressure tests and diagnostic tests specified in Section 07 05 23.01 00 PRESSURE TESTING AN AIR BARRIER SYSTEM FOR AIR TIGHTNESS. The Building Envelope Technical Commissioning Specialist must review the resulting reports and provide recommendations for correction of any deficiencies or further testing.
