3. ACG CxA WORKSHOP WEBINAR Commissioning Advocacy

4. ACG CxA WORKSHOP WEBINAR CxA Workshop St. Petersburg, Florida 8:00 AM 13 October 2008Renaissance Vinoy Resort Why Commission? Better Buildings   Building owners are finding that the energy, water, and productivity savings achieved by commissioned buildings can offset the cost of the commissioning process. Studies indicate 8 to 20 percent savings in building operating costs over those in a non- commissioned building. (Building Commissioning Guide, Version 2.2, GSA/DOE, dated July 30, 1998)

5. ACG CxA WORKSHOP WEBINAR CxA Workshop St. Petersburg, Florida 8:00 AM 13 October 2008Renaissance Vinoy Resort Why Commission? Better People   Aside from achieving documented cost savings and cost avoidance, commissioning enhances customer satisfaction by promoting proper training of the owner’s Operations & Maintenance staff, which increases the longevity and efficient operation of building systems.

12. CxA Workshop St. Petersburg, Florida 8:00 AM 13 October 2008Renaissance Vinoy Resort What is Commissioning? A process of documentation, adjustment, testing, verification, and training, performed specifically to ensure that the finished facility operates in accordance with the owner’s documented project requirements and the construction documents. It begins in pre-design and continues through design, construction, and the life of the facility. (BCA draft document, 2004.)

13. ACG CxA WORKSHOP WEBINAR CxA Workshop St. Petersburg, Florida 8:00 AM 13 October 2008Renaissance Vinoy Resort What is Commissioning? Design Intent Document   Details functional requirements and Owner’s expectations of how a building will be used and operated - OWNER’S PROJECT REQUIREMENTS   Basis for building commissioning Basis of Design   The concepts, calculations, decisions, and product selections used to meet the OWNER’S PROJECT REQUIREMENTS

14. ACG CxA WORKSHOP WEBINAR CxA Workshop St. Petersburg, Florida 8:00 AM 13 October 2008Renaissance Vinoy Resort What Commissioning is NOT?   Completing Standard Forms   Contractors’ QA/QC Program   Verification of the Contractors’ QA/QC Program   Construction Inspection   Construction Management Substitute

15. ACG CxA WORKSHOP WEBINAR Design Intent Commissioning validates the design! That the design works and meets the “design intent” Commissioning “retro” ; “re”; or “ongoing” Cx DesignConstruction O & M “Inspections” validate construction That the construction is installed correctly per the “design” Changing Needs What is Commissioning? (validates the “design”!) This is not commissioning!

16. ACG CxA WORKSHOP WEBINAR CxA Workshop St. Petersburg, Florida 8:00 AM 13 October 2008Renaissance Vinoy Resort Commissioning Definitions Commissioning Authority (CxA):   A person (or firm) representing the facility owner   Leader of the Commissioning Team   Authority of Cx Process – not design or means and methods   CxA not in chain of command – preserves objectivity

17. ACG CxA WORKSHOP WEBINAR CxA Workshop St. Petersburg, Florida 8:00 AM 13 October 2008Renaissance Vinoy Resort Commissioning Definitions Commissioning Provider (CP):   Independent Third-Party Commissioning Firm   A/E Firm   General Contractor   Construction Manager   Owner's Personnel

18. ACG CxA WORKSHOP WEBINAR CxA Workshop St. Petersburg, Florida 8:00 AM 13 October 2008Renaissance Vinoy Resort Commissioning Definitions Retro-Commissioning (RetroCx):   Commissioning an existing building that has never been commissioned Re-Commissioning (ReCx):   Commissioning a building that has been previously commissioned Continuous Commissioning (CCx):   Owner continues to collect and compare baseline data on selected building systems to ensure that the building functions optimally throughout its operating life

19. ACG CxA WORKSHOP WEBINAR CxA Workshop St. Petersburg, Florida 8:00 AM 13 October 2008Renaissance Vinoy Resort Commissioning Definitions Total Building Commissioning (TBCx)   Emphasizes that Commissioning is NOT only for the Mechanical and HVAC system, or any single system Commissioning Team   Experts who, through coordinated actions, are responsible for carrying out the Commissioning Process Commissioning Plan   A strategy overseen by the Commissioning Authority and prepared by the Commissioning Team

20. ACG CxA WORKSHOP WEBINAR CxA Workshop St. Petersburg, Florida 8:00 AM 13 October 2008Renaissance Vinoy Resort Systems Typically Commissioned Mechanical Systems   Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC)   Building Automation Systems (BAS)   Fire Protection Electrical Systems   Switchgear and Transformers   Grounding/Bonding, Circuitry   Generators and UPS Systems   Lighting and Lighting Controls Specialty Systems   Security Systems and Fire Alarm   Voice/Data Systems

22. ACG CxA WORKSHOP WEBINAR CxA Workshop St. Petersburg, Florida 8:00 AM 13 October 2008Renaissance Vinoy Resort Objections To Commissioning “Haven’t I already paid for a quality building in my design and construction fees?”   Designer’s (A/E) services typically do not include field verification that their design works as intended.   Construction Manager’s services typically do not include functional verification that the installed systems meet design intent.

23. ACG CxA WORKSHOP WEBINAR CxA Workshop St. Petersburg, Florida 8:00 AM 13 October 2008Renaissance Vinoy Resort Objections To Commissioning “Isn’t the Commissioning Authority just a ‘bigger hammer’ for the owner to use to pound the designer and contractor?”   No. The CA must be a team builder by using the commissioning process to the benefit of all.   No. The CA should respect the traditional construction disciplines. The CA has a distinct responsibility to owner for system quality and performance.

24. ACG CxA WORKSHOP WEBINAR CxA Workshop St. Petersburg, Florida 8:00 AM 13 October 2008Renaissance Vinoy Resort Objections To Commissioning “Isn’t commissioning just another layer of inspection?”   The CA is not a layer, but a catalyst for communication that makes quality solutions possible.   The CA is not inspector (fault finder, accuser).   The commissioning process provides verification that Owner’s Project Requirements implemented in design and construction.
