EA Prereq 1

Fundmental Commisioning

Definition
Designate a person to lead process, document project requirements and design for the energy related systems, intial review must be done by end of DD, develop and incorporate plan/requirements in CDs, and complete a commissioning report
Term
LEED CI focuses on the individual aspects of energy efficiency, lighting, HVAC, and appliances and equipment. Therefore there is an incentive to:
Definition

purchase green power.

Term
Intent of Fundamental Commissioning
Definition
Verify that the project's energy-related systems are installed, calibrated and perform as intended.
Term
Potential Technologies & Strategies
Definition
Engage a Commissioning Authority prior to the start of design.  Determine the owner's program and initial design intent.  Develop and maintain a commissioning plan for use during design and construction. Incorporate commissioning requirements in bid documents. Assemble the commisioing team and PRIOR TO OCCUPANCY or have a CONTRACT IN PLACE TO VERIFY), verify the performance of energy consuming systems.  Complete the commissioing reports with recommendations prior to acceptance of the HVAC systems.
Term
Basis of Design
Definition
includes all information necessary to accomplish the design intent, including weather data, interior environmental criteria, other pertinent design assumptions, cost goals, and references to applicable codes, standards, regulations and guidelines.
Term
Commissioning
Definition
is the process of ensuring that systems are designed, installed, functionally tested, and capable of being operated and maintained to perform in conformity with the DESIGN INTENT.
Term
Commissioning Plan
Definition
is a document defining the commissioing process, which is developed in increasing detail as the projet progresses through its various phases.
Term
Commissioing Report
Definition
is the document that records the results of the commisioing pocess, including the as-built performance of the HVAC system and unresolved issues.
Term
Commissioning Specification
Definition

is the CONTRACT document that details the objective, scope and implementation of the construction and acceptance phases of the commissioinging process as developed in the design-phase commissioing plan.

 

Could be commissioned before completion of project unless a contract is in place.

Term
Commissioing Team
Definition
includes those people responsible for working toether to carry out the commissioining process.
Term
Design Intent
Definition
is a detailed explanation of teh ideas, concepts and criteria that are defined by the owner to be important.  This typically is an expansion of the information provided in the owner's program.
Term
Functional Performance Testing (FPT)
Definition
is the process of determining the ability of the HVAC system to deliver heating ventilating and air-conditioning services in accordance with the final design intent.
Term
Verification
Definition
includes the full range of checks and tests carried out to determine if all components, subsystems, systems, and interfaces between systems operate in accordance with the contract documents.  In this context, "operate" includes all modes and sequences of control operation, interlocks and conditional control response, and specified responsed to abnormal or emergency conditions.
Term

Needs for Quality assurance process
Definition

Just for Prereq. there needs to be a seperation.  The commissioing agent needs to be seperate from the design team.

 

Enhanced: can not even be a memeber of the firm. 

Term
Who can always commission?
Definition
