.1
Related Sections: This section of the Specification forms part of the Contract
Documents and shall be read, interpreted and coordinated with all other parts.
.2
Commissioning Authority: The mechanical Contractor will be responsible to
manage and administrate the commissioning process on this project.
.3
Commissioning Definition: Commissioning is a systematic process of ensuring
that all building systems perform interactively according to the design intent and
the owner’s operational needs. This is achieved by beginning in the design
phase and documenting the owner’s project requirements, design intent and
continuing through construction, acceptancy and the warranty period with actual
verification of performance. The commissioning process shall encompass and
coordinate the traditionally separate functions of system documentation,
equipment startup, control system calibration, testing and balancing,
performance testing and training.
Commissioning during the construction phase is intended to achieve the
following specific objectives according to the Contract Documents:
.1
.2
.3
.4
Verify that applicable equipment and systems are installed according to
the manufacturer’s recommendations and to industry accepted minimum
standards and that they receive adequate operational checkout by
installing contractors.
Verify and document proper performance of equipment and systems.
Verify that O&M documentation left on site is complete.
Verify that the Owner’s operating personnel are adequately trained.
The commissioning process does not take away from or reduce the responsibility
of the system Consultants or installing contractors to provide a finished and fully
functioning product.

Management. The CA directs and coordinates the commissioning activities and
the reports to the PM. All members work together to fulfill their contracted
responsibilities and meet the objectives of the Contract Documents.
.3
Scheduling. The CA will work with the GC according to established protocols to
schedule the commissioning activities. The CA will provide sufficient notice to
the GC for scheduling commissioning activities. The GC will integrate all
commissioning activities into the master schedule. All parties will address
scheduling problems and make necessary notifications in a timely manner in
order to expedite the commissioning process.
The CA will provide the initial schedule of primary commissioning events at the
commissioning scoping meeting. The Commissioning Plan - Section 01 91 14
provides the format for this schedule. As construction progresses more detailed
schedules are developed by the CA. The Commissioning Plan also provides a
format for detailed schedules.
1.3
COMMISSIONING PROCESS
.1
Commissioning Plan. The Commissioning Plan - Section 01 91 14 provided as
part of the bid documents, is binding on the Contractor. The commissioning plan
provides guidance in the execution of the commissioning process. Just after the
initial commissioning scoping meeting the CA will update the plan which is then
considered the “final” plan, though it will continue to evolve and expand as the
project progresses. The Specifications will take precedence over the
Commissioning Plan.
.2
Commissioning Process. The following narrative provides a brief overview of the
typical commissioning tasks during construction and the general order in which
they occur.
.1
Commissioning during construction begins with a scoping meeting
conducted by the CA where the commissioning process is reviewed with
the commissioning team members.

COMMISSIONING – GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Page 3 of 11
Additional meetings will be required throughout construction, scheduled
by the CA with necessary parties attending, to plan, scope, coordinate,
schedule future activities and resolve problems.
Equipment documentation is submitted to the CA during normal
submittals, including detailed start-up procedures.
The CA works with the GC, MC, EC and the Subs in updating startup
plans and startup documentation formats, including providing the GC,
MC, EC and the Subs with pre-functional checklists to be completed,
during the startup process.
In general, the checkout and performance verification proceeds from
simple to complex; from component level to equipment to systems and
intersystem levels with prefunctional checklists being completed before
functional testing.
The GC, MC, EC and the Subs, execute and document the prefunctional
checklists and perform startup and initial checkout. The CA documents
that the checklists and startup were completed according to the approved
plans. This may include the CA witnessing start-up of selected
equipment.
The CA updates specific equipment and system functional performance
test procedures. The GC, MC, EC and the Subs review the procedures.
The procedures are executed by the GC, MC, EC and the Subs, under
the direction of, and documented by the CA.
Items of non-compliance in material, installation or setup are corrected at
the GC, MC, EC and the Sub’s expense and the system retested.
The ME reviews the O&M documentation for completeness. The CA
reviews O&M documentation on the Owner’s behalf and recommends
acceptancy or provides additional comments.
Commissioning is completed before Substantial Completion.
The CA reviews and coordinates the training provided by the GC, MC, EC
and the Subs and verifies that is was completed.
Deferred testing is conducted, as specified or required.

COMMISSIONING – GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Page 8 of 11
.2
Approval – Acceptance that a piece of equipment or system has been properly
installed and is functioning in the tested modes according to the Contract
Documents.
.3
Mechanical Consultant (ME) - The prime consultant responsible for mechanical
systems design for this project.
.4
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 design intent. The basis of design describes the systems, components,
conditions and methods chosen to meet the intent. Some reiterating of the design
intent may be included.
.5
Commissioning authority (CA) - An independent agent, not otherwise associated
with the A/E team members or the Contractor. The CA directs and coordinates
the day-to-day commissioning activities. The CA does not take an oversight role
like the GC. The CA is part of the Owner’s team and shall report directly to the
OW/PM.
.6
Commissioning Plan - An overall plan, developed before or after bidding, that
provides the structure, schedule and coordination planning for the commissioning
process.
.7
Contract Documents - The documents binding on parties involved in the
construction of this project (drawings, specifications, change orders,
amendments, contracts, Cx Plan, etc.).
.8
Contractor - The contractor in general or authorized representative.
.9
Control system - The central building energy management control system.
.10
Datalogging - Monitoring flows, currents, status, pressures, etc. of equipment
using stand-alone dataloggers separate from the control system.
.11
Deferred Functional Tests - FTs that are performed later, after substantial
completion, due to partial occupancy, equipment, seasonal requirements, design
or other site conditions that disallow the test from being performed.
.12
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 (that
is, does not perform properly or is not complying with the design intent).
.13
Design Intent - A dynamic document that provides the explanation of the ideas,
concepts and criteria that are considered to be very important to the owner. It is
initially the outcome of the programming and conceptual design phases.

Section 01 91 13
COMMISSIONING – GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Page 9 of 11
.16
Functional Performance Test (FT) - 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. 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
test and balancing (TAB) is not functional testing, in the commissioning sense of
the word. TAB’s primary work is setting up the system flows and pressures as
specified, while functional testing is verifying that which has already been set up.
The commissioning authority 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. FTs are
performed after prefunctional checklists and startup are complete.
.17
Indirect Indicators - Indicators of a response or condition, such as a reading from
a control system screen reporting a damper to be 100% closed.
.18
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”).
.19
Monitoring - The recording of parameters (flow, current, status, pressure, etc.) of
equipment operation using dataloggers or the trending capabilities of control
systems.
.20
Non-Compliance - See Deficiency.
.21
Non-Conformance - See Deficiency.
.22
Over-written Value - Writing over a sensor value in the control system to see the
response of a system (e.g., changing the outside air temperature value from 50F
to 75F to verify economizer operation). See also “Simulated Signal.”
.23
Owner-Contracted Tests - Tests paid for by the Owner outside the GC’s contract
and for which the CA does not oversee. These tests will not be repeated during
functional tests if properly documented.
.24
Phased Commissioning - Commissioning that is completed in phases (by floors,
for example) due to the size of the structure or other scheduling issues, in order
minimize the total construction time.
.25
Prefunctional Checklist (PC) - A list of items to inspect and elementary
component tests to conduct to verify proper installation of equipment, provided by
the CA to the Sub. Prefunctional 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 prefunctional 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
prefunctional refers to before functional testing. Prefunctional checklists augment
and are combined with the manufacturer’s start-up checklist. Even without a
commissioning process, contractors typically perform some, if not many, of the
23 Beechgrove Lane
Heating-Cooling RTU Renewal
Project No. 1039236-270802
Section 01 91 13
COMMISSIONING – GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Page 10 of 11
prefunctional checklist items a commissioning authority will recommend.
However, few contractors document in writing the execution of these checklist
items. Therefore, for most equipment, the contractors execute the checklists on
their own. The commissioning authority only requires that the procedures be
documented in writing, and does not witness much of the prefunctional
checklisting, except for larger or more critical pieces of equipment.
.26
Project Manager (PM) - The contracting and managing authority for the owner
over the design and/or construction of the project.
.27
Sampling. - Functionally testing only a fraction of the total number of identical or
near identical pieces of equipment.
.28
Seasonal Performance Tests - FT that are deferred until the system(s) will
experience conditions closer to their design conditions.
.29
Simulated Condition - Condition that is created for the purpose of testing the
response of a system (e.g., applying a hair blower to a space sensor to see the
response in a VAV box).
.30
Simulated Signal - Disconnecting a sensor and using a signal generator to send
an amperage, resistance or pressure to the transducer and DDC system to
simulate a sensor value.
.31
Specifications - The construction specifications of the Contract Documents.
.32
Startup - The initial starting or activating of dynamic equipment, including
executing prefunctional checklists.
.33
Subs - The subcontractors to the GC who provide and install building
components and systems.
.34
Test Procedures - The step-by-step process which must be executed to fulfill the
test requirements. The test procedures are developed by the CA.
.35
Test Requirements - Requirements specifying what modes and functions, etc.
shall be tested. The test requirements are not the detailed test procedures. The
test requirements are specified in the Contract Documents.
.36
Trending - Monitoring using the building control system.
.37
Vendor - Supplier of equipment.
.38
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.

The Computerized Maintenance Management System is a database
operated by CBRE Ltd Facilities Management that records all life cycle
data logged against an item of equipment or system. This is an important
feature as it permits the Facilities Management to monitor the device
against manufacturers’ service recommendations to determine service
and replacement intervals and carry out cost efficiency analysis. The
CMMS data will also be loaded into OILC’s Asset Management System to
support its asset management responsibilities.

The Training Plans are produced conjointly by the Consultant and the
Commissioning Authority to meet project-specific requirements and they
include details provided by the Facility Property Manager relating to
numbers and prerequisite qualifications and skills of trainees, type of
training (i.e. observation, hands-on, classroom), etc.
The CA coordinates and schedules, with the MC, the overall training for
the commissioned systems. The CA develops criteria for determining that
the training was satisfactorily completed, including attending some of the
training, etc. The CA recommends approval of the training to the OW and
PM using a standard form. The MC also signs the approval form.
The Training Plans are included in Specification Section 01 91 15 –

Scoping Meeting. Within 90 days of commencement of construction, the CA will
schedule, plan and conduct a commissioning scoping meeting with the entire
commissioning team in attendance. Meeting minutes will be distributed to all
parties by the CA. Information gathered from this meeting will allow the CA to
revise the Draft 2 Commissioning Plan to its “final” version, which will also be
distributed to all parties.

COMMISSIONING – PLAN
Page 8 of 22
Miscellaneous Meetings. Other meetings will be planned and conducted by the
CA as construction progresses. These meetings will cover coordination,
deficiency resolution and planning issues with particular Subs. The CA will plan
these meetings and will minimize unnecessary time being spent by Subs. Within
final 3 months of construction these meetings may be held as frequently as one
per week.
REPORTING
.1
The CA will provide regular reports to the MC, PM and OW, with increasing
frequency as construction and commissioning progresses. Standard forms are
provided and referenced in the Commissioning Plan.
.2
The CA will regularly communicate with all members of the commissioning team,
keeping them apprised of commissioning progress and scheduling changes
through memos, progress reports, etc.
.3
Testing or review approvals and non-conformance and deficiency reports are
made regularly with the review and testing as described in later sections.
.4
A final summary report (about four to six pages, not including backup
documentation) by the CA will be provided to the MC and PM, focusing on
evaluating commissioning process issues and identifying areas where the
process could be improved. All acquired documentation, logs, minutes, reports,
deficiency lists, communications, findings, unresolved issues, etc., will be
compiled in appendices and provided with the summary report. Pre-functional
checklists, functional tests and monitoring reports will not be part of the final
report, but will be stored in the Commissioning Record in the O&M manuals.
2.3
SUBMITTALS
.1
The CA will provide appropriate contractors with a specific request for the type of
submittal documentation the CA requires to facilitate the commissioning work.
These requests will be integrated into the normal submittal process and protocol
of the construction team. At minimum, the request will include the manufacturer
and model number, the manufacturer’s printed installation and detailed start-up
procedures, full sequences of operation, O&M data, performance data, any
performance test procedures, control drawings and details of owner contracted
tests. In addition, the installation and checkout materials that are actually shipped
inside the equipment and the actual field checkout sheet forms to be used by the
factory or field technicians shall be submitted to the Commissioning authority. All
documentation requested by the CA will be included by the Subs in their O&M
manual contributions.
.2
The CA will review and approve submittals related to the commissioned
equipment for conformance to the Contract Documents as it relates to the
commissioning process, to the functional performance of the equipment and
adequacy for developing test procedures. This review is intended primarily to aid
in the development of functional testing procedures and only secondarily to verify
compliance with equipment specifications. The Commissioning authority will
notify the MC, PM or ME as requested, of items missing or areas that are not in
conformance with Contract Documents and which requires resubmission.

The CA may request additional design narrative from the ME and Controls
Contractor, depending on the completeness of the design intent documentation
and sequences provided with the Specifications.
.4
These submittals to the CA do not constitute compliance for O&M manual
documentation. The O&M manuals are the responsibility of the Contractor,
though the CA will review and approve them.
2.4
START-UP, PREFUNCTIONAL CHECKLISTS AND INITIAL CHECKOUT
.1
Application: The following procedures apply to all equipment to be
commissioned, according to Paragraph 1.3, Systems to be Commissioned.
Some systems that are not comprised so much of actual dynamic machinery,
e.g., electrical system power quality, may have very simplified PCs and startup.
.2
General: Pre-functional checklists are important to ensure that the equipment
and systems are hooked up and operational. It ensures that functional
performance testing (in-depth system checkout) may proceed without
unnecessary delays. Each piece of equipment receives full pre-functional
checkout. No sampling strategies are used. The pre-functional testing for a
given system must be successfully completed prior to formal functional
performance testing of equipment or subsystems of the given system.
.3
Start-up and Initial Checkout Plan: The CA shall assist the commissioning team
members responsible for startup of any equipment in developing detailed start-up
plans for all equipment. The primary role of the CA in this process is to ensure
that there is written documentation that each of the manufacturer-recommended
procedures have been completed. Parties responsible for pre-functional
checklists and startup are identified in the commissioning scoping meeting and in
the checklist forms. Parties responsible for executing functional performance
tests are identified in the testing requirements in Section 2.6 and 2.9.
.4
The CA updates the manufacturer’s startup and initial checkout procedures from
O&M submittals.
.5
The CA marks the applicable areas in the procedures and makes initial and date
lines at each procedure or section.
.6
The CA transmits these procedures and the original pre-functional checklist
procedures to the Contractor as the startup and initial checkout plan.
2.5
SENSOR AND ACTUATOR CALIBRATION
.1
General: All field-installed temperature, relative humidity, and pressure sensors
and gages, and all actuators (dampers and valves) on all equipment shall be
calibrated using the methods described below. Alternate methods may be used,
if approved by the Owner before-hand. All test instruments shall have had a
certified calibration within the last 12 months. Sensors installed in the unit at the
factory with calibration certification provided need not be field calibrated.
All procedures used shall be fully documented on the prefunctional checklists or
other suitable forms, clearly referencing the procedures followed and written
documentation of initial, intermediate and final results.

Section 01 91 14
COMMISSIONING – PLAN
Page 10 of 22
All Sensors: Verify that all sensor locations are appropriate and away
from causes of erratic operation. Verify that sensors with shielded cable,
are grounded only at one end. For sensor pairs that are used to
determine a temperature or pressure difference, make sure they are
reading within 0.2°F of each other for temperature and within a tolerance
equal to 2% of the reading, of each other, for pressure. Tolerances for
critical applications may be tighter.
Sensors Without Transmitters: Standard Application. Make a reading
with a calibrated test instrument within 6 inches of the site sensor. Verify
that the sensor reading (via the permanent thermostat, gage or building
automation system (BAS)) is within the tolerances in the table below of
the instrument-measured value. If not, calibrate or replace sensor.
Sensors With Transmitters: Standard Application. Calibrate as per
manufacturer’s requirements using 3 calibration points.
EXECUTION OF PREFUNCTIONAL CHECKLISTS AND STARTUP
.1
Four weeks prior to startup, the Subs and vendors schedule startup and
checkout with the MC and CA. The performance of the prefunctional checklists,
startup and checkout are directed and executed by the Sub or vendor. When
checking off pre-functional checklists, signatures may be required of other Subs
for verification of completion of their work.
.2
The CA shall observe, at minimum, the procedures for each piece of primary
equipment, unless there are multiple units, (in which case a sampling strategy
may be used as approved by the MC). In no case will the number of units
witnessed be less than four on any one building, nor less than 20% of the total
number of identical or very similar units.
.3
The Subs and vendors shall execute startup and provide the CA with a signed
and dated copy of the completed start-up and pre-functional tests and checklists.
.4
Only individuals that have direct knowledge and witnessed that a line item task
on the pre-functional checklist was actually performed shall initial or check that
item off. It is not acceptable for witnessing supervisors to fill out these forms.
2.7
DEFICIENCIES, NON-CONFORMANCE AND APPROVAL IN CHECKLISTS
AND STARTUP
.1
The Subs shall clearly list any outstanding items of the initial start-up and
prefunctional procedures that were not completed successfully, at the bottom of
the procedures form or on an attached sheet. The procedures form and any
outstanding deficiencies are provided to the CA within two days of test
completion.

Heating-Cooling RTU Renewal
Project No. 1039236-270802
Section 01 91 14
COMMISSIONING – PLAN
Page 11 of 22
.2
The CA reviews the report and submits either a non-compliance report or an
approval form to the Sub or MC and PM. The CA shall work with the Subs and
vendors to correct and retest deficiencies or uncompleted items. The CA will
involve the MC and others as necessary. The installing Subs or vendors shall
correct all areas that are deficient or incomplete in the checklists and tests in a
timely manner, and shall notify the CA as soon as outstanding items have been
corrected and resubmit an updated start-up report and a Statement of Correction
on the original non-compliance report. When satisfactorily completed, the CA
recommends approval of the execution of the checklists and startup of each
system to the MC and PM using a standard form.
.3
Items left incomplete, which later cause deficiencies or delays during functional
testing may result in back charges to the responsible party. Refer to Part 2.10
herein for details.
.4
When all the above is complete the Functional Performance testing phase can
proceed.
2.8
PHASED COMMISSIONING
.1
2.9
The project may require startup and initial checkout to be executed in phases.
This phasing will be planned and scheduled in a coordination meeting of the CA,
MC, TAB and controls contactors. Results will be added to the master and
commissioning schedule.
FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE TESTING
This sub-section applies to all commissioning functional testing for all divisions.
The general list of equipment to be commissioned is found in Paragraph 1.3.
.1
Objectives and Scope. The objective of functional performance testing is to
demonstrate that each system is operating according to the documented design
intent and Contract Documents. Functional testing facilitates bringing the
systems from a state of substantial completion to full dynamic operation.
Additionally, during the testing process, areas of deficient performance are
identified and corrected, improving the operation and functioning of the systems.
In general, each system should be operated through all modes of operation
(seasonal, occupied, unoccupied, warm-up, cool-down, part- and full-load) where
there is a specified system response. Verifying each sequence in the sequences
of operation is required. Proper responses to such modes and conditions as
power failure, freeze condition, low pressure, no flow, equipment failure, etc.
shall also be tested.

Section 01 91 14
COMMISSIONING – PLAN
Page 12 of 22
Updating Test Procedures. Before test procedures are written, the CA shall
obtain all requested documentation and a current list of change orders affecting
equipment or systems, including an updated points list, program code, control
sequences and parameters. Using the testing parameters, the CA shall update
specific test procedures and forms to verify and document proper operation of
each piece of equipment and system. Each Sub or vendor responsible to
execute a test, shall provide limited assistance to the CA in updating the
procedures review (answering questions about equipment, operation,
sequences, etc.). Prior to execution, the CA shall provide a copy of the test
procedures to the Sub(s) who shall review the tests for feasibility, safety,
equipment and warranty protection. The CA may submit the tests to the ME for
review, if requested.
The CA shall review owner-contracted, factory testing or required owner
acceptance tests which the CA is not responsible to oversee, including
documentation format, and shall determine what further testing or format
changes may be required to comply with the Specifications. Redundancy of
testing shall be minimized.
The purpose of any given specific test is to verify and document compliance with
the stated criteria of acceptance given on the test form.
.3
Test Methods. Functional performance testing and verification may be achieved
by manual testing (persons manipulate the equipment and observe performance)
or by monitoring the performance and analyzing the results using the control
system’s trend log capabilities or by stand-alone data loggers. The CA will
determine which method is most appropriate for tests that do not have a method
specified.
.4
Simulated Conditions. Simulating conditions (not by an overwritten value) shall
be allowed, though timing the testing to experience actual conditions is
encouraged wherever practical.
.5
Overwritten Values. Overwriting sensor values to simulate a condition, such as
overwriting the outside air temperature reading in a control system to be
something other than it really is, shall be allowed, but shall be used with caution
and avoided when possible. Such testing methods often can only test a part of a
system, as the interactions and responses of other systems will be erroneous or
not applicable. Simulating a condition is preferable. e.g., for the above case, by
heating the outside air sensor with a hair blower rather than overwriting the
value, or by altering the appropriate setpoint to see the desired response. Before
simulating conditions or overwriting values, sensors, transducers and devices
shall have been calibrated.
.6
Simulated Signals. Using a signal generator which creates a simulated signal to
test and calibrate transducers and DDC constants is generally recommended
over using the sensor to act as the signal generator via simulated conditions or
overwritten values.

Heating-Cooling RTU Renewal
Project No. 1039236-270802
Section 01 91 14
COMMISSIONING – PLAN
Page 13 of 22
.7
Altering Setpoints. Rather than overwriting sensor values, and when simulating
conditions is difficult, altering setpoints to test a sequence is acceptable. For
example, to see the AC compressor lockout work at an outside air temperature
below 55F, when the outside air temperature is above 55F, temporarily change
the lockout setpoint to be 2F above the current outside air temperature.
.8
Indirect Indicators. Relying on indirect indicators for responses or performance
shall be allowed only after visually and directly verifying and documenting, over
the range of the tested parameters, that the indirect readings through the control
system represent actual conditions and responses. Much of this verification is
completed during prefunctional testing.
.9
Setup. Each function and test shall be performed under conditions that simulate
actual conditions as close as is practically possible. The Sub executing the test
shall provide all necessary materials, system modifications, etc. to produce the
necessary flows, pressures, temperatures, etc. necessary to execute the test
according to the specified conditions. At completion of the test, the Sub shall
return all affected building equipment and systems, due to these temporary
modifications, to their pre-test condition.
.10
Sampling. Multiple identical pieces of non-life-safety or otherwise non-critical
equipment may be functionally tested using a sampling strategy. Significant
application differences and significant sequence of operation differences in
otherwise identical equipment invalidates their common identity. A small size or
capacity difference, alone, does not constitute a difference. It is noted that no
sampling by Subs is allowed in pre=functional checklist execution.
The facility systems and sampling rate of systems to be commissioned are as
follows:
System
Building Automation System
Roof Top Units
.11
Rigor
100%
Coordination and Scheduling
.1
The Subs shall provide 10 business days notice to the CA regarding their
completion schedule for the prefunctional checklists and startup of all
equipment and systems. The CA will schedule functional tests through
the MC and affected Subs. The CA shall direct, witness and document
the functional testing of all equipment and systems. The Subs shall
execute the tests.

COMMISSIONING – PLAN
Page 14 of 22
In general, functional testing is conducted after prefunctional testing and
startup has been satisfactorily completed. The control system is
sufficiently tested and approved by the CA before it is used for TAB or to
verify performance of other components or systems. The air balancing
and water balancing is completed and debugged before functional testing
of air-related or water-related equipment or systems. Testing proceeds
from components to subsystems to systems. When the proper
performance of all interacting individual systems has been achieved, the
interface or coordinated responses between systems is checked.
The CA documents the results of the test. Corrections of minor
deficiencies identified are made during the tests at the discretion of the
CA. The CA records the results of the test on the procedure or test form.
Deficiencies or non-conformance issues are noted and reported to the
MC and PM. Subs correct deficiencies and notify the CA. The CA
schedules retesting through the MC and PM. Decisions regarding
deficiencies and corrections are made at as low a level as possible,
preferably between CA or MC and the Sub. For areas in dispute, final
authority, besides the Owner’s, resides with the ME. The CA
recommends acceptance of each test to the MC and PM. The PM gives
final approval on each test.
The Owner’s facilities operating staff are encouraged to attend and
participate in the testing process. The commissioning agent shall ensure
the owner is notified at least 5 business days prior to any testing, so that
owner has a chance to attend startup and functional testing.
Problem Solving. The CA will recommend solutions to problems found, however
the burden of responsibility to solve, correct and retest problems is with the
contractors, Subs and ME.
DOCUMENTATION, NON-CONFORMANCE AND APPROVAL OF TESTS
.1
Documentation: The CA shall witness and document the results of all functional
performance tests using the specific procedural forms developed for that
purpose. Prior to testing, these forms are provided to the PM for review and
approval and to the Subs for review. The CA will include the filled out forms in
the System Manual.
.2
Non-Conformance
.1
.2
The CA will record the results of the functional test on the procedure or
test form. All deficiencies or non-conformance issues shall be noted and
reported to the MC and PM on a standard non-compliance form.
Corrections of minor deficiencies identified may be made during the tests
at the discretion of the CA. In such cases the deficiency and resolution
will be documented on the procedure form.

Every effort will be made to expedite the testing process and minimize
unnecessary delays, while not compromising the integrity of the
procedures. However, the CA will not be pressured into overlooking
deficient work or loosening acceptance criteria to satisfy scheduling or
cost issues, unless there is an overriding reason to do so at the request of
the Owner.
As tests progress and a deficiency is identified, the CA discusses the
issue with the executing contractor.
When there is no dispute on the deficiency and the Sub accepts
responsibility to correct it:
.1
The CA documents the deficiency and the Sub’s response and
intentions and they go on to another test or sequence. After the
day’s work, the CA submits the non-compliance reports to the MC
and PM for signature, if required. A copy is provided to the Sub
and CA. The Sub corrects the deficiency, signs the statement of
correction at the bottom of the non-compliance form certifying that
the equipment is ready to be retested and sends it back to the CA.
.2
The CA reschedules the test and the test is repeated.
If there is a dispute about a deficiency, regarding whether it is a
deficiency or who is responsible:
.1
The deficiency shall be documented on the non-compliance form
with the Sub’s response and a copy given to the MC and to the
Sub representative assumed to be responsible
.2
Resolutions are made at the lowest management level possible.
Other parties are brought into the discussions as needed. Final
interpretive authority is with the ME. Final acceptance authority is
with the Owner.
.3
The CA documents the resolution process.
.4
Once the interpretation and resolution have been decided, the
appropriate party corrects the deficiency, signs the statement of
correction on the non-compliance form and provides it to the CA.
The CA reschedules the test and the test is repeated until
satisfactory performance is achieved
Cost of Retesting
.1
.2
The cost for the Sub to retest a pre-functional or functional test, if they are
responsible for the deficiency, shall be theirs.
For a deficiency identified, not related to any pre-functional checklist or
start-up fault, the following shall apply:
.1
The CA, ME and/or PM will direct the retesting of the equipment
once at no “charge” to the contractors for their time. However, the
CA’s, ME’s and/or PM’s time for a second retest will be charged to
the contractors, who may choose to recover costs from the
responsible Sub.
.2
The time for the CA, ME and/or PM to direct any retesting required
because a specific prefunctional checklist or start-up test item,
23 Beechgrove Lane
Heating-Cooling RTU Renewal

.5
.4
reported to have been successfully completed, but determined
during functional testing to be faulty, will be backcharged to the
contractor, who may choose to recover costs from the party
responsible for executing the faulty prefunctional test.
.3
Refer to the Sampling Section for requirements for testing and
retesting identical equipment.
The Contractor shall respond in writing to the CA and PM at least as often
as commissioning meetings are being scheduled concerning the status of
each apparent outstanding discrepancy identified during commissioning.
Discussion shall cover explanations of any disagreements and proposals
for their resolution.
The CA retains the original non-conformance forms until the end of the
project.
Any required retesting by any contractor shall not be considered a
justified reason for a claim of delay or for a time extension by the prime
contractor.
Failure Due to Manufacturer Defect: If 10%, or three, whichever is greater, of
identical pieces (size alone does not constitute a difference) of equipment fail to
perform to the Contract Documents (mechanically or substantively) due to
manufacturing defect, not allowing it to meet its submitted performance spec, all
identical units may be considered unacceptable by the PM. In such case, the
Contractor shall provide the Owner with the following:
.1
.2
.3
.4
.5
.5
Section 01 91 14
COMMISSIONING – PLAN
Page 16 of 22
Within one week of notification from the PM, the Contractor or
manufacturer’s representative shall examine all other identical units
making a record of the findings. The findings shall be provided to the PM
within two weeks of the original notice.
Within two weeks of the original notification, the Contractor or
manufacturer shall provide a signed and dated, written explanation of the
problem, cause of failures, etc. and all proposed solutions which shall
include full equipment submittals. The proposed solutions shall not
significantly exceed the specification requirements of the original
installation.
The PM AND THE OWNER will determine whether a replacement of all
identical units or a repair is acceptable.
Two examples of the proposed solution will be installed by the Contractor
will be allowed to test the installations for up to one week, upon which the
PM will decide whether to accept the solution.
Upon acceptance, the Contractor and/or manufacturer shall replace or
repair all identical items, at their expense and extend the warranty
accordingly, if the original equipment warranty had begun. The
replacement/repair work shall proceed with reasonable speed beginning
within one week from when parts can be obtained.
Approval: The CA notes each satisfactorily demonstrated function on the test
form. Formal approval of the functional test is made later after review by the CA
and by the ME, if necessary. The CA recommends acceptance of each test to

the same form, providing a signed copy to the CA and the Contractor.
2.11
POST OCCUPANCY COMMISSIONING
.1
Post Occupancy Commissioning during the close out phase of the project begins
at substantial performance and may continue through to the end of the
contractual warranty/correction period. It is required where additional
performance testing is needed because of seasonal changes, or varying building
occupancy loads, or occasionally where all parties have agreed that substantial
performance can occur before all systems have been constructed.
.2
The activities of all participants in the commissioning process throughout the
execution phase will generally follow the principles set out in ASHRAE
Commissioning Guideline O, other than situation-specific differences for IO
projects noted herein.
