Commissioning implements a quality-oriented process
for achieving, verifying, and documenting that the performance
of facilities, systems, and assemblies meets defined
objectives and criteria. The defined objectives and
criteria are often referred to as the owner’s project
requirements (OPR), which involve achieving, verifying,
and documenting the performance of each assembly or
system to meet the building’s operational needs.
The commissioning process uses the owner’s project
requirements as the reference to determine acceptance
of the design. Commissioning includes verifying and
documenting that the project operational and maintenance
documentation and training of operation and maintenance
personnel occur. The result should be fully functional
systems that can be properly operated and maintained
throughout the life of the building. This chapter gives
an overview of the general commissioning process, plus
best practices from the July 2004 working draft of ASHRAE
Guideline 0-2005, The Commissioning Process, developed
for the National Institute of Building Sciences’
total building commissioning program. Although this
chapter provides less detail and is less prescriptive,
it provides more narrative discussion on some issues
than the cited commissioning guideline draft.

Standard: Guideline
1-1996 -- The HVAC Commissioning Process
The purpose of this guideline is to describe the commissioning
process that will ensure heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning
(HVAC) systems perform in conformity with design intent.
The procedures, methods, and documentation requirements
in this guideline cover each phase of the commissioning
process for all types and sizes of HVAC systems, from
pre-design through final acceptance and post-occupancy,
including changes in building and occupancy requirements
after initial occupancy. This guideline provides procedures
for the preparation of
- documentation of owner's assumptions and requirements;
- design intent, Basis of Design, and expected performance;
- verification and functional performance testing;
and
- operation and maintenance criteria.
This guideline specifically details the process for
- conducting verification and functional performance
testing and
- maintaining system performance to meet the current
design intent after initial occupancy.
This guideline also includes a program for training
of operation and maintenance personnel.

(Item 3:)
Standard: Guideline
0-2005 -- The Commissioning Process
The purpose of this Guideline is to describe the Commissioning
Process capable of verifying that a facility and its
systems meet the Owner’s Project Requirements.
The procedures, methods, and documentation requirements
in this guideline describe each phase of the project
delivery and the associated Commissioning Processes
from pre-design through occupancy and operation, without
regard to specific elements, assemblies, or systems,
and provide the following: (a) overview of Commissioning
Process activities, (b) description of each phase’s
processes, (c) requirements for acceptance of each phase,
(d) requirements for documentation of each phase, and
(e) requirements for training of operation and maintenance
personnel. These Commissioning Process guideline procedures
include the Total Building Commissioning Process (TBCxP)
as defined by National Institute of Building Sciences
(NIBS) in its Commissioning Process Guideline 0.

Other Items:
This TC actively sponsors programs at the semi-annual
ASHRAE meetings. Papers for symposia, technical sessions,
and poster sessions are published in the proceedings
of the meetings. You may purchase them through the ASHRAE
bookstore.
Papers for seminars are not published officially by
ASHRAE, but pdf versions of the slide presentations
are sometimes made available in the Presentations
area of this site.
