ASHRAE Guideline 0-2005The Commissioning Process Building Commissioning Association Northeast Chapter Thomas Anderson, CCP
Purpose of Guideline 0-2005 • Describe the Cx Process to verify a facility meets the Owner’s Project Requirements
Utilization • Guideline Describes the “Process” • Technical Guidelines Detail Technical Requirements
Guideline 0-2005 The Cx Process • ASHRAE Guideline 1-200X • HVACR Cx Process (Tech Requirements) • NIBS Guidelines • 2-200X through 14-200X Requirements • Other Technical Cx Volumes • Roofing, Lighting, Plumbing, Life Safety, Etc.
Pre Design Phase • Develop Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR) • Cx Scope & Budget • Develop Initial Cx Plan
Owner’s Project Requirements • Forms the basis from which all decisions are made… • Design • Construction • Acceptance • Operational Decisions
Owner’s Project Requirements • Primary Tool for Benchmarking Success and Quality • At all Phases of Project Delivery • Throughout the Life of Facility
Owner’s Project Requirements • Owner’s Objectives for a New Facility • Guidance for Design Team & Others • Not developed by Design Team
OPR Should Include… • Schedule & Budget • Cx Scope & Budget • User Requirements • Energy Efficiency Goals • Applicable Codes & Standards • Etc.
An OPR is Dynamic… • Evolves through each Phase • Updated to Reflect Current Project Requirements • Feasibility • Budget Limitations
Design Phase Cx Tasks • Verify Basis of Design (BoD) with OPR • Update Cx Plan • Defining Training Requirements • Perform Focused Design Reviews • Developed by Design Team • CxA Verifies BoD Conforms to OPR • Systems Manual
Basis of Design • Basis of Design (BoD) • Conveys Design Assumptions that Fulfill OPR Intent • Developed by Design Team • Updated throughout Design Phase
Basis of Design Includes • System Selection Reasoning • Assumptions • Narrative of System Selection & Reasoning • Environmental Conditions • Load Calcs & Sizing • Codes • Operations
Systems Manual • Information Needed to… • Understand Systems • Operate • Maintain
Systems Manual Includes • Index of Systems Manual • Executive Summary • OPR • BoD • O&M Manuals • Cx Process Report
Construction Phase • Verify Systems & Assemblies Conform to OPR • Submittal Review (Spot Check) • Develop Test Docs • Witness Tests • Verify Training • Update Systems Manual (OPR, BoD, Etc.)
Occupancy & Operations Phase • Begins at Substantial Completion • Continue through end of Contractual/Warranty Period • Ideally, Continues through Life of the Facility
Occupancy & Operations Phase • CxA Assists in Problem Solving • Guidance on O&M to Achieve OPR • Seasonal Testing • Verify Training • Systems Manual Update • Cx Report
