Review coordination drawings to ensure that trades are making a reasonable effort to coordinate.
Write and distribute pre-functional and functional checklists for commissioned equipment and systems.
Develop and enhance start-up and initial systems checkout plan with contractors for selected
equipment.
Perform site visits, as necessary, to observe component and system installations. Attend selected
planning and job-site meetings to obtain information on construction progress. Review construction
meeting minutes for revisions / substitutions relating to the commissioning process. Assist in resolving
any discrepancies.
Witness HVAC and plumbing piping pressure test and flushing, sufficient to be confident that proper
procedures were followed. Include testing documentation in the Commissioning Record.
Witness any ductwork testing and cleaning sufficient to be confident that proper procedures were
followed. Include documentation in the Commissioning Record.
Document construction checklist completion by reviewing completed construction checklists and by
selected site observation.
Document start-up of each system by reviewing start-up reports and by selected site observation.
Approve air and water systems balancing by spot testing, by reviewing completed reports, and by
selected site observation.
With necessary assistance and review from installing contractors, write the functional test procedures
for equipment and systems. This will include manual functional testing, energy management control
operational trending and may include stand-alone data-logger monitoring. Submit to VA for review and
approval.
Analyze functional testing results, operational trend log and monitored data to verify performance.
Coordinate, witness and document manual functional tests performed by installing contractors.
Coordinate retesting as necessary until satisfactory performance is achieved. The functional testing
shall include operating the system and components through each of the written sequences of
operation, and other significant modes and sequences, including startup, shutdown, unoccupied mode,
manual mode, staging, miscellaneous alarms, power failure, security alarm when impacted and
interlocks with other systems or equipments. Sensors and controlled devices such as actuators,
dampers and valves shall be calibrated during construction check listing by the installing contractors,
and spot-checked by the Commissioning Provider during functional testing. Test on respective HVAC
equipment shall be executed, if possible, during both the heating and cooling season. However, some
overwriting of control values to simulate conditions shall be allowed. Particular attention should be
paid to rooftop A/C unit economizers. Functional testing shall be done using conventional manual
methods, control system trend logs, and read-outs or standalone data loggers, to provide a high level
of confidence in proper system function, as deemed appropriate by the Commissioning Provider and
VA. All relevant field data, trend logs, logger data and graphs that validate the results shall be
annotated with appropriate labels so that it is clear what the data are proving. Trend logs of control
system output signals are not acceptable as proof of operation unless the output signals have first
been verified and documented that they accurately represent actual operation. Use NEBB Standard
Commissioning Forms.
Prepare test plans for, assist with execution of, and document tests of commissioned equipment
overseen by regulatory authorities and ensure such tests meet the testing rigor desired by VA.
Maintain a master issues log and a separate record of functional testing. Report all issues as they
occur directly to the Lessor. Provide directly to the Lessor and VA written progress reports and test
results with recommended actions.
