 All air volume supply rates.
2 Schedule the operating parameters and time schedules that have been set
into the control systems during the two trial periods to enable the data log
results to be analyzed.
3 Print out on a daily basis, graphs of all points monitored and mark-up these
graphs with the control set points and design limits where applicable and
submit all of these graphs and schedules to the Engineer and Employer for
comment.
4 Enclose the data log graphs and operating parameters scheduled as part of

advance of the trials commencement with the Engineer. Notwithstanding the
above, all data loggers must be placed at working plane level (35 inches from
finished floor level) and be sited away from the influence of draughts or direct
solar gain.
13 The complete set of graphs shall be referenced, indexed and included as part
of the handover documentation in their own clearly identified ring file. All
sensors and test equipment calibration Certificates shall also be included in
this document.
14 Compact disk(s) containing all of the trial data shall be included with the
handover documentation.
15 Should any part of the system require alteration or adjustment during the trial
then the period shall be extended to provide the required time after the
alteration/adjustment.
16 Any compromise to that trial period extension shall be at the discretion of the
Engineer.
17 The controls contractor shall issue a report based on a sampling of the FCU
controller calculated loop performance metrics. The report shall indicate
performance criteria, include the count of conforming and non-conforming
boxes, list the non-conforming boxes along with their performance data, and
shall also include graphical representations of performance. The sampling shall
take place after completion of Test and Balance, when design cooling and
heating media have been available and occupied conditions approximated for
five consecutive days.
c) Supervisors
1 Demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Engineer that alarms handling,

passwords, acknowledgements, peripherals, graphics, automatic data storage,
back door access, alarm and graphics report times and alarm masking are all
set up and function correctly at each Building System Operating Station.

d) Repeatability Test
1 Comprehensively repeat and test transmission of alarms to supervisors and

generate alarm faults to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Engineer that
the communications system is reliable.
2 The object of this test is to demonstrate that the communication system
operates without fault at handover. The benefit to the BMS subcontractor of
successfully carrying out the above test is that he shall have proved that the
system did work as required. Notwithstanding the above, the BMS
communications network is the sole responsibility of the BMS subcontractor
and he shall immediately rectify any faults which are detected during the
defects liability period.

E.9 Operating Training and Maintenance

a) The BMS subcontractor shall provide a suitable member of the site BMS installation
and commissioning staff and the project BMS and Planned Preventative Maintenance
(PPM) system engineer, to attend the site and assist the Employer in the operation of
the BMS system for a period of two weeks after system handover, and for a further
period of one month to be arranged during the first year after system handover.
b) The BMS subcontractor shall arrange and allow for all associated costs, for the
selected representatives (allow for five number staff) to undertake training in the use
of BMS.
c) The training shall be phased to ensure a full understanding of the system.
d) The first phase shall be the provision of a basic set of literature on the principles of
the BMS method of control, specifically for the manufacturers’ equipment, BMS set-up
and PPM capabilities.
e) The second phase shall be the provision of all of the manuals by the BMS
subcontractor in the word processed format, together with the drawings and methods
of operation to allow the representatives to familiarize themselves with the features of
the system installed.
f) The third phase shall be a course each provided with simulator terminals and with
hands on adjustment and appraisal of the control elements used within the
manufacturers works or other suitable location as agreed with the Engineer and
Client. The course content shall include:
1 System hardware.
2 System software.
3 The operator interface.
4 Access routines
5 System hierarchy and structure.
6 Communications.
7 Alarms.
8 Trend logging.
9 Graphics creation and editing.
10 Programming language.
11 Hard and soft points.
12 Control loop.
13 Edit facilities.
14 Network theory and equipment.
15 Outstation programming.

16 BMS input and manipulation.

17 PPM programming and interfacing to the BMS.
g) The fourth phase of the training shall be Site based with a familiarization tour of all the
BMS and PPM facilities that are unique. This shall be undertaken with the "as
installed" information and final manuals and incorporate any field adjustment and
maintenance activities that are required.
h) The final phase of the training shall be on Site with all user activities being
demonstrated and with each representative having a keyboard tour of the Site
facilities with opportunity provided to have supervised access to all of the system
functions.
i) In order to support good facilities management sufficient training shall be provided to
enable a trained operator to, as a minimum:
1 View equipment status

2 View and acknowledge alarms
3 Adjust optimized time clocks and calendars
4 Adjust set points, alarm tolerances and control parameters. Alarm thresholds
initially set to maximum +\- 10% for all measured variables unless tighter
values specified.
5 Investigate calculated values
6 View plant hours run data
7 Chart energy usage from the meters
8 Create tenant utility bills
9 Create and view long term trend Logs of controlled parameters in particular
the temperature and humidity in areas.
j) The Contractor shall allow for 2 No additional full day presentations and/or training
days for new users of the system within a one-year period after handover.
k) Provide costs within the tender for maintenance options for the control system for
one, three and five years.
l) Allow for adequate visits to achieve service in line with HVAC Standard Maintenance
Specification.
m) Allow for local on-site call out attendance response within 24 hours.
