Description
Commissioning implements a quality-oriented process for achieving, verifying, and documenting that the performance of facilities, systems, and assemblies meets defined objectives and Commissioning implements a quality-oriented process for achieving, verifying, and documenting that the performance of facilities, systems, and assemblies meets defined objectives and criteria. The defined objectives and criteria are often referred to as the owner's project requirements (OPR). The commissioning process uses the owner's project requirements as the reference to determine acceptance of the design and construction. Commissioning includes verifying and documenting that the project operational and maintenance documentation and training of operation and maintenance personnel occur. The result should be fully functional systems that can be properly operated and maintained throughout the life of the building. This chapter gives an overview of the general commissioning process as covered in ASHRAE Guideline 0-2013, developed for the National Institute of Building Sciences' total building commissioning program, as well as the best practices for applying the process from ASHRAE Guideline 1.1-2007. The minimum acceptable process for commissioning is detailed in ASHRAE Standard 202-2013. This chapter provides more narrative discussion on some issues than these two guidelines and the standard.
