ENGINEERS (ASHRAE)

ASHRAE 189.1 (2011) Standard for the Design of High-Performance Green Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings

U.S. GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL (USGBC)

1.2 DEFINITIONS

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

b. Commissioning - Commissioning is a comprehensive and systematic process to verify that the building systems perform as designed to meet the requirements. Commissioning during the construction, acceptance, and warranty phases intends to achieve the following specific objectives:

(1) Verify and document that equipment is installed and started per manufacturer's recommendations, industry accepted minimum standards, and the Contract Documents.

(2) Verify and document that equipment and systems receive complete operational checkout by the installing contractors.

(3) Verify and document equipment and system performance.

(4) Verify the completeness of Operations and Maintenance materials.

SECTION 01 91 00.00 40 Page 2

(5) Ensure that the operating personnel are adequately trained on the operation and maintenance of the building equipment.

c. Commissioning Agent - develops the functional test procedures in a sequential written form, coordinates, oversees and documents the actual testing, which is usually performed by the installing contractor or vendor. Functional Performance Tests are performed after pre-functional checklists and startup are complete.

d. Commissioning Plan - an overall plan that provides the structure, schedule and coordination planning for the commissioning process.

e. Deficiency - a condition in the installation or function of a component, piece of equipment or system that is not in compliance with the Contract Documents, does not perform properly, or is not complying with the Project Requirements.

f. Project Requirements - a dynamic document that provides the explanation of the ideas, concepts and criteria that are considered to be very important to the Government. It is initially the outcome of the programming and conceptual design phases.

g. Functional Performance Test - test of the dynamic function and operation of equipment and systems using manual (direct observation) or monitoring methods. Functional testing is the dynamic testing of systems (rather than just components) under full operation (e.g., the chiller pump is tested interactively with the chiller functions to see if the pump ramps up and down to maintain the 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. The systems are run through all the control system's sequences of operation and components are verified to be responding as the sequences state. Traditional air or water test and balancing (TAB) is not functional testing, in the commissioning sense of the word.

h. 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 the "observation").

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

j. Pre-functional Checklist - a list of items to inspect and elementary component tests to conduct to verify proper installation of equipment, provided by the Commissioning Agent to the contractor. Pre-functional checklists are primarily static inspections and procedures to prepare the equipment or system for initial operation (e.g., belt tension, oil levels OK, labels affixed, gages in place, sensors calibrated, etc.).

However, some pre-functional checklist items entail simple testing of the function of a component, a piece of equipment or system (such as measuring the voltage imbalance on a three-phase pump motor of a chiller system). The word "pre-functional" refers to before functional testing. Pre-functional checklists augment and are combined with the manufacturer's start-up checklist.

k. Seasonal Performance Tests - Functional Performance Test that are

SECTION 01 91 00.00 40 Page 3 deferred until the system(s) will experience conditions closer to their design conditions.

l. Warranty Period - warranty period for entire project, including equipment components. Warranty begins at Substantial Completion and extends for at least one year, unless specifically noted otherwise in the Contract Documents and accepted submittals.

1.3 ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS

Perform commissioning services for the system. Expedite the testing process and minimize unnecessary delays, while not compromising the integrity of the procedures. The commissioning requires cooperation of the Contractor, subcontractors, vendors, Commissioning Agent, and Contracting Officer.

1.3.1 Co-ordination

The Contractor shall provide a Commissioning Agent (CA) employ the services of an independent Commissioning Firm for overall co-ordination and management of the commissioning program. The Cx Agent shall report directly to the Government. The CA shall be an independent contractor and not an employee or subcontractor of the Contractor or any other subcontractor on this project, including the design professionals (i.e.

the DOR or their firm(s)) and shall report directly to the Government.

The Commissioning Firm must be a first tier subcontractor of the General or Prime Contractor and must be financially and corporately independent of all other contractors. The Commissioning Firm must employ a Lead Commissioning Specialist that coordinates all aspects of the commissioning process. The Lead Commissioning Specialist must have direct communication with the Government regarding all elements of the commissioning process.

The commissioning team comprises the following groups:

a. Contractor's Project Manger and Test Engineer

b. Sub-contractor for the system being commissioned

c. Commissioning Agents Project Manager and Project Engineers

d. Contracting Officers Representative

e. Architect/Engineer and Specialty Consultant

1.3.2 Progress Meetings

Plan and co-ordinate meetings as required to monitor construction and commissioning progress the work. Notify the Contracting Officer of construction job-site meetings to address co-ordination, deficiency resolution and planning issues.

1.3.3 Functional Testing Co-ordination

Do not "temporarily" start equipment for commissioning. Do not conduct functional performance testing until a pre-functional, start-up and TAB is completed for a given system. Do not functionally test the controls system and equipment it controls until all points have been calibrated and the pre-functional checklists are completed.
