HVAC Commissioning is a systematic process that facilitates and ensures the required
communication, coordination, testing, and verification, takes place so project HVAC systems perform as intended.
ASHRAE Guideline defines commissioning as "a quality-oriented
process for achieving, verifying, and documenting that the performance of facilities, systems, and assemblies meets defined
objectives and criteria".
Commissioning is an all inclusive process for all the planning,
delivery, verification, and managing risks to critical functions performed in, or by, facilities. Ensuring building quality
using peer review and in-field or on-site verification. Cx also accomplishes higher energy efficiency, environmental health,
and occupant safety and improves indoor air quality by making sure the building components are working correctly and that
the plans are implemented with the greatest efficiency. Commissioning is a quality assurance-based process that provides preventive
and predictive maintenance plans, tailored operating manuals and training procedures for all users to follow.
Basically, the commissioning process formalizes review and
integration of all project expectations during planning, design, construction, and occupancy phases by inspection and functional
performance testing, and oversight of operator training and record documentation.
PBI can provide leadership
of the commissioning team and facilitate the commissioning of HVAC systems, as the commissioning authority.
