Provide a Complete Final Commissioning Report
to the Owner & Building Management

Provide a final commissioning report documenting design intent, construction and test results. It should include:

  • occupancy and schedule assumptions
  • heating and cooling load calculations
  • summaries of intended operation sequences
  • as-built and equipment shop drawings
  • schematic drawings of all mechanical, electrical and control systems
  • equipment manuals;
  • equipment operating procedures (normal and emergency)
  • balancing reports
  • air and water design conditions
  • maintenance procedures and schedules
  • control program software documents
  • 24-hour telephone contacts for emergency service companies

Include an annotated source code for all control system programs in both hard copy and electronic form, complete with control point listings with set points and anticipated operating range. Ensure that all deficiencies and their successful correction are clearly documented.

Cautions

  • It is easy for this step to be overlooked in the rush to occupy the building and complete construction.
  • Documentation should be written in simple, plain language, understandable by non-technical people.
