Commissioning (Cx) Definition Cx Process Cx Applied to Existing Buildings Retro-Commissioning Examples Human Factor in Buildings Hot/Cold and Energy Concerns Q&A Agenda

High Performance Buildings Characteristics Functionality Energy Efficiency Indoor Environmental Quality Comfort Sustainability (ability to perform its function in a long term)

Building Systems Commissioning Buildings function as intended Realize high system performance Promotes integration of systems Document facility requirements

Commissioning (Cx) is a comprehensive and systematic process to verify and document that new or renovated facility systems function completely as designed to meet the owner’s requirements Retro-Commissioning (RCx) is the commissioning of a building that has never been commissioned. Energy goals and low/no-cost measures often a focus Commissioning Definition

Without Commissioning Placement and calibration of Sensors Simultaneous Heating and Cooling Incorrect function of air-side Economizer and other efficiency measures Operating Schedule is not what is necessary, or assumed by energy model Cycling daylighting and other systems

Energy Impacts -Large effort in sustainable and energy efficient design -Will not be realized if design or intended use is:  misunderstood  ignored -Or if building systems are:  operating incorrectly  not thoroughly tested

Purpose of Functional Testing -Verification of an operational system  not a trouble shooting exercise (in theory) -Reduces adjustment and tuning during occupancy -Impacts  energy  comfort  maintenance  functionality

Types of Functional Testing -Building Automation System -False load -Seasonal testing -Trend analysis

Commissioning: Process applied to new construction or major building renovation Re-commissioning: Facility has previously been commissioned and is in need of a “tune-up” Retro-commissioning: Performed on facilities that have been in service and never commissioned Ongoing commissioning: Ongoing program of structured commissioning throughout the lifetime of a building New and Existing Buildings

Definition: Commissioning a building that never has been In practice: re-tuning systems Or, identify low-cost / no-cost measures to implement Site survey, owner interview, trending Drawings study, engineering calculation Retro-Commissioning Process

Energy measure identification Implementation Measurement & Verification Persistence SEDAC Retro-Commissioning Program ComEd Retro-Commissioning Program Retro-Commissioning Process

Trending -Functional testing before occupancy is a snapshot -Trending shows operation over time -Methods of trending  building automation system  portable data loggers -Analyze trends  spreadsheet calculations  software tools

Ongoing Commissioning -Good  Cx process with functional testing -Better  Re-Cx program -Best  Ongoing Cx -Combination of software, engineering support, action

Document current operation Identify opportunities for improvement Evaluate payback, consider measures Implement measures Verify measures LEED for Existing Buildings
