Prepare and submit PVT Procedures that list the step-by-step procedures to be performed during the tests and the expected results from each step that demonstrate contract and accepted design compliance. Start the Performance Verification Tests only after approval of the PVT Procedures.
SECTION 01 46 00.00 06 Page 14
Provide a PVT Report documenting all tests performed during the PVT and the results. Document all failures and associated repairs in the PVT Report.
The Lead Commissioning Specialist must review the PVT Procedures or Test Plan and the PVT Report required by Specification Section 23 09 00 INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL FOR HVAC. Include a certification by the Lead Commissioning Specialist with each of these submittals that the submittals do not indicate any deficiencies in the HVAC systems or HVAC control systems .
3.2.5.6 HVAC System Trend Logs
Following approval of the Performance Verification Test (PVT) Report and prior to Functional Performance Testing, the Lead Commissioning Specialist must review trend logs from the heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, and refrigeration control systems to ensure that the systems have stable operation and operate as required by construction contract , the accepted design, and the Owner's Project Requirements. Review trends for all items of equipment including sensor inputs; valve and damper positions (command or feedback); equipment status, modes, and commands; and variable frequency drive commands. Control and monitoring points, sample frequency, and duration of trends must be in accordance with the approved Construction Phase Commissioning Plan. Provide a Trend Log Report that identifies any deficiencies noted in operation and includes a graphical representation of the trends.
3.2.5.7 Tests
3.2.5.7.1 Functional Performance Tests
Schedule personnel to attend the Functional Performance Tests for each system only after the Certificate of Readiness has been approved by the Government for the system and all deficiencies identified through any prior review, inspection, or test activity have been corrected.
Functional Performance Tests must be performed with the Contracting Officer's Quality Assurance Representative present. The Lead Commissioning Specialist must lead and document all Functional Performance Tests for the systems to be commissioned with the Contractor and appropriate sub-contractors performing the Functional Performance Tests.

Abort Functional Performance Tests when any system deficiency prevents the successful completion of the test.
3.2.5.7.1.1 Checklists
Use the Functional Performance Test Checklists from the approved Construction Phase Commissioning Plan to guide the Functional Performance Tests. Functional Performance Tests must be performed for each item of equipment and each system required to be commissioned and verify all sensor calibrations, control responses, safeties, interlocks, operating modes, sequences of operation, capacities, lighting levels, and all other system performance requirements comply with the construction contract and accepted design requirements regardless of the specific items listed within the Functional Performance Test Checklists provided. Testing must
SECTION 01 46 00.00 06 Page 15 progress from equipment or components to subsystems to systems to interlocks and connections between systems. The order of components and systems to be tested must be determined by the Lead Commissioning Specialist.
3.2.5.7.1.2 Acceptance
Indicate acceptance of each item of equipment and systems tested by signature of each commissioning team member for each Functional Performance Test. The Contractor's Quality Control Representative and the Lead Commissioning Specialist must indicate acceptance after the equipment and systems are free of deficiencies.
3.2.5.7.2 Sample Strategy
Perform Functional Performance Tests using the following sample strategy.
Prepare and complete a Functional Performance Test Checklist for each item of equipment or system to be tested. For sample sizes less than 100 percent for all similar equipment, the Government will select the specific equipment or system to be tested during testing. Equipment Identifiers are as indicated on the design drawings:
Equipment Identifier Sample Size (Percent)
AHU 100
VAV 50
CWP, CHWP, HWP 100
WC-1, WC-2 Water Closet 100
Lighting Controls 100
Perform Functional Performance Tests for all equipment and systems.
Prepare and complete a Functional Performance Test Checklist for each item of equipment or system.
3.2.5.7.3 Seasonal Tests
Regardless of the season, perform initial Functional Performance Tests of equipment and systems at the time of system completion. Develop and implement means of artificial loading to demonstrate, to a reasonable level of confidence, the ability of the HVAC systems to handle peak seasonal loads.
In addition to the initial Functional Performance Tests, perform Functional Performance Tests of the HVAC systems during peak heating and cooling seasons during outdoor air condition design extremes. Schedule the seasonal Functional Performance Tests in coordination with the Government.
Systems may be partially accepted by the Government prior to seasonal testing if they comply with all construction contract and accepted design requirements that can be tested during the initial Functional Performance Tests. All Functional Performance Test procedures must be completed prior to full systems acceptance.
SECTION 01 46 00.00 06 Page 16
3.2.5.7.4 Aborted Tests and Re-Testing
Abort Functional Performance Tests or Seasonal Tests if any deficiency prevents successful completion of the test or if any required commissioning team member is not present for the test. Reimburse the Government for all costs associated with effort lost caused by re-testing due to test failures and aborted tests. These costs must include salary, travel costs, and per diem for Government commissioning team members.
Re-test only after all deficiencies identified during the original tests have been corrected.
3.2.5.7.4.1 100% Sample
Systems or items of equipment for which 100% sample are tested fail if one or more of the test procedures results in a discovery of a deficiency and the deficiency can not be resolved within 5 minutes during the test. Upon test failure, abort the test of the system or item of equipment. Schedule a re-test, in coordination with the Government, only after all deficiencies for all failed equipment and systems have been corrected.
Re-test to the extent necessary to confirm that the deficiencies have been corrected. At the sole discretion of the Government, all test procedures for the failed item of equipment or system must be repeated to confirm that no deficiencies remain within that equipment or system.
3.2.5.7.4.2 Less than 100% Sample
For systems or equipment tests with a sample size less than 100 percent, if one or more of the test procedures for an item of equipment or system results in discovery of a deficiency, regardless of whether the deficiency is corrected during the sample tests, the item of equipment or system fails the test. Correction of the deficiencies during Functional Performance Testing may be performed only at the sole discretion of the Government.
If the system failure rate is 5 percent or less, meaning that 5 percent or less of the equipment or systems had at least one deficiency, re-test only the items which experienced the initial failures.
If the system failure rate is higher than 5 percent, meaning that more than 5 percent of the equipment or systems tested had at least one deficiency, re-test the items which experience the initial failures. In addition, test another sample of the same size as the initial sample for the first time. If the second sample set has any failures, re-test those failed items and all remaining equipment and systems to complete 100 percent testing of that system type.
