    Buildings and their mechanical/electrical systems have become more complex, requiring commissioning to ensure proper installation and operation. Commissioning is a process that begins in the design phase and continues through construction and occupancy. It involves a team that includes representatives from the owner, designers, contractors, and commissioning agent. During design, the commissioning team works to develop clear project requirements and specifications, check designs, and identify cost-saving opportunities. During construction, they monitor installation to ensure compliance and develop testing procedures to verify systems are functioning as intended.

    at the Beginning

    The need for commissioning is


    determined when a project is opened

    Projects we commission include:


    New buildings and building additions

    Complex mechanical/electrical renovations


    Elevator and fire alarm system replacements
    6

    Commissioning Occurs in
    Two Phases

    Design-Phase Commissioning
    Usually only on large projects

    Occurs from Programming to Bidding

    Construction-Phase Commissioning
    On all commissioned projects
    Occurs through User Move-In
    7

    During Design-Phase
    Commissioning:

    Commissioning promotes development of


    a DESIGN INTENT DOCUMENT

    Written narrative of project requirements

    Documents User and Maintenance


    expectations

    During Design-Phase
    Commissioning:

    Commissioning promotes
    conformance to the Universitys
    Design Guidelines and Preferred
    Manufacturers List (except when
    deviations are justified)

    During Design-Phase
    Commissioning:

    Commissioning spot-checks A/E


    design calculations

    Commissioning spot-checks A/E


    design drawings and specifications

    During Design-Phase
    Commissioning:

    Commissioning helps Value Engineer


    projects by deleting unnecessary
    M & E systems and equipment

    On LSI, Commissioning had 14 VE


    recommendations accepted for a
    savings of over $700,000
    12

    During Design-Phase and


    Construction-Phase
    Commissioning:

    Commissioning helps with Vendor and


    Contractor negotiations

    F&O Administration, Purchasing, Plant


    Ops, and Commissioning worked with
    LSI and the Med School to negotiate
    over $5,000,000 in savings this year on
    construction components costs
    13

    During Construction-Phase
    Commissioning:

    Commissioning promotes planning ahead

    Develop a project-specific Commissioning


    Manual

    Give Contractors written check-lists so work


    isnt forgotten

    Give Contractors written test procedures


    identifying our expectations

    14

    During Construction-Phase
    Commissioning:

    Commissioning promotes conformance


    to the Project Contract Documents

    Commissioning promotes the use of


    construction mock-ups
