limitations of governing regulations and as follows:
1. Neatly cut openings and holes plumb, square, and true to dimensions required.
Use cutting methods least likely to damage construction to remain or adjoining
construction. Use hand tools or small power tools designed for sawing or
grinding, not hammering and chopping, to minimize disturbance of adjacent
surfaces. Temporarily cover openings to remain.
2. Cut or drill from the exposed or finished side into concealed surfaces to avoid
marring existing finished surfaces.
3. Do not use cutting torches until work area is cleared of flammable materials. At
concealed spaces, such as duct and pipe interiors, verify condition and contents
of hidden space before starting flame-cutting operations. Maintain fire watch and
portable fire-suppression devices during flame-cutting operations.
4. Locate selective demolition equipment and remove debris and materials so as
not to impose excessive loads on supporting walls, floors, or framing.
5. Dispose of demolished items and materials promptly.
1. Clean and repair items to functional condition adequate for intended reuse. Paint
equipment to match new equipment.
2. Pack or crate items after cleaning and repairing. Identify contents of containers.
3. Protect items from damage during transport and storage.
4. Reinstall items in locations indicated. Comply with installation requirements for
new materials and equipment. Provide connections, supports, and
miscellaneous materials necessary to make item functional for use indicated.
C. Disposal: Transport demolished materials off Owner's property and legally dispose of
them.
3.6 CLEANING

communications determined and the work products list is discussed. Also covered are the general list of
each party’s responsibilities, which party is responsible to develop the startup plan for each piece of
equipment and the proposed commissioning schedule. The outcome of the meeting is to increased under-
standing by all parties of the commissioning process and their respective responsibilities. The meeting
provides the CxA additional information needed to finalize or modify the Cx Plan, including the commis-
sioning schedule. Prior to this meeting the CxA is given all drawings and specifications and the construc-
tion schedule by trade. The GC is responsible for taking meeting minutes and distribute them to each
team member.
5.4 Meetings
The CxA may attend selected planning and job-site meetings at their prerogative, in order to remain in-
formed on construction progress and to update parties involved in commissioning. The GC is to provide
the CxA with information regarding substitutions, change orders and any Architect’s Supplemental
Instructions (ASI) that may affect commissioning equipment, systems or the commissioning schedule.
The CA may review construction-meeting minutes, change orders or ASI's for the same purpose. Later
during construction, necessary meetings between various commissioning team parties will be scheduled
by the as required by the CxA, through the GC.

N/A
Contractors typically already perform some, if not many, of the prefunctional checklist items the commis-
sioning authority will recommend. However, few contractors document in writing the execution of these
checklist items. This project requires that the procedures be documented in writing by the installing tech-
nician. The CxA does not witness much of the prefunctional check listing, except for testing of larger or
more critical pieces of equipment and some spot-checking. CONTRACTOR IS TO SUBMIT TO THE
CxA THEIR PREFUNCTIONAL STARTUP DOCUMENT FORMS FOR REVIEW AND COMMENT
4 WEEKS PRIOR TO STARTING SYSTEMS.
The following procedures will be used for this project: (the contractor is responsible for the plan devel-
opment):
The CxA adapts and enhances, if necessary, the representative prefunctional checklists (PC) and proce-
dures, and develops original lists, as necessary.
The CxA transmits them to the GC who designates which trade or contractor is responsible to fill out each
line item on the Prefunctional Checklist from the CxA. The GC then transmits the checklist to the re-
sponsible Subs.
The Sub designated to develop the Start-up Plan obtains manufacturer installation, start-up and checkout
data, including actual field checkout sheets used by the field technicians.
The Sub copies all pages with important instructional data and procedures (not covered in manufacturer
field checkout sheets) from the start-up and checkout manuals and adds a signature line in the column by
each procedure.
The copied pages, along with the prefunctional checklist provided by the GC (originally from the CxA)
and the manufacturer field checkout sheets become the “Start-up and Checkout Plan.”
For systems that may not have adequate manufacturer start-up and checkout procedures, particularly for
components being integrated with other equipment, the Sub should provide the added necessary detail and
documenting format to the CxA for approval, prior to execution.
The Sub transmits the full Start-up Plan to the CxA for review and approval.
The CxA reviews and approves the procedures and the format for documenting them and noting any pro-
cedures that need to be added, and conveys to the GC. The GC then transmits the full start-up plan to the
Subs for their review and use. (This usually means that the Prefunctional Checklist, alone, will go to more
than one Sub, while the full plan will go to the primary installing contractor.)
checks off items on the prefunctional and manufacturer field checkout sheets, as they are completed.
Only individuals having direct knowledge of a line item being completed shall check or initial the forms.
The Subs and vendors execute the checklists and tests and submit a signed copy of the completed start-up
and prefunctional tests and checklists to the CxA. The CxA may review prefunctional checklists in pro-
gress, as necessary.
5.8.3 Sampling Strategy for CxA Observation of Prefunctional Checkout and Startup
At the discretion of the CxA a small percentage of equipment as determined by the CxA shall be wit-
nessed during prefunctional checkout and startup.
5.8.5 TAB
The TAB contractor submits the outline of the TAB plan and approach to the CxA and the controls con-
tractor four weeks prior to starting the TAB. The CxA reviews the plan and approach for understanding
and coordination issues and may comment, but does not “approve.” The TAB submits weekly written
reports of discrepancies, contract interpretation requests and lists of completed tests to the CxA and GC.
This facilitates quicker resolution of problems and will result in a more complete TAB before functional
testing begins. TAB work shall be coordinated with the Control and Mechanical Contractors to assure
systems can be properly balanced. Any system which is being scheduled by the GC to be balanced, but
can not be properly balanced for what ever reason at the requested time should be refused and reported to
the CxA. Project schedules are very important, but not at the expense of a properly balanced system.
5.9.1 Overview
Functional testing is the dynamic testing of systems (rather than just components) under full operation.
Systems are tested under various modes, such as during low cooling or heating loads, high loads, compo-
nent failures, unoccupied, varying outside air temperatures, fire alarm, power failure, etc. The systems
are run through all of the control system’s sequences of operation and components are verified to be re-
sponding as the sequences state. The commissioning authority develops the functional test procedures in
a sequential written form, coordinates, oversees and documents the actual testing, which is performed by
the installing contractor or vendor. The CxA only is to witness and document the testing. All hands on is
performed by the contractor or their subs. Contractor is to supply all test equipment necessary to perform
the functional testing as outlined by the CxA.
The CxA shall have the authority to postpone functional testing if he feels the systems have not been
properly prepared for Functional Testing. It is then the contractor’s responsibility to retest systems as re-
quired.
5.10.4 Sampling
Multiple identical pieces of non-life-safety or otherwise non-critical equipment may be functionally tested
using a sampling strategy. The CxA shall determine this sampling per past sampling success.
6. N/A
7. Schedule
The initial commissioning schedule is summarized in Table 7-1. A more detailed schedule is contained in
Form C-10, Detailed Commissioning Schedule
General:
The systems outlined in the specifications, project documents, and commissioning plan are to be fully
verified as functional working systems through the effort of the commissioning team with the leadership
of the Cx authority. The Cx process shall begin with a review and comment of the design concept, and
continue through the final operational verifications.
The system design review by the CxA is indented as a cursory review of the overall systems design to
verify that it meets the LEED criteria outlined for this project. The owner project requirements (OPR),
and the MEP bases of design (BOD) shall be reviewed for their intent and compatibility. All design issues
or recommendations shall be forwarded to the design team for their review and action as deemed appro-
priate.
As the project enters the construction phase the Cx authority shall meet with the Cx team, which shall
consist of but is not limited to the following professionals and tradesmen.
The commissioning is led by the Commissioning Authority (CxA), whom is acting on the owners behalf,
and is the lead person of the Cx team.
Owners Representative (OR), which may in some cases be the CxA
Building Operational Personnel (BOP),
Design Engineers (EA), Architect (AE)
General Contractor (GC)
Mechanical Contractor (MC)
Electrical Contractor (EC)
TAB Contractor (TAB)
Building Automation System Contractor (BAS)
Other professionals or tradesmen that may be necessary for the particular portion or scope of the project.
The intent is to have qualified personnel as members of the Cx team who have the authority to execute the
commissioning plan and who are dedicated to the LEED process and the owner’s objectives relative to
sustainability and green building design.
The construction process is the phase of the project, which obviously receives the major-
ity of attention during commissioning. A brief description of the intended process is to follow.
Equipment outlined in the Cx process is used for commissioning process description only, and
may not represent the actual/installed MEP devises and equipment used on this project. The de-
scription is generic in nature and is intended to create an understanding of the general construc-
tion commissioning process for the referenced project.
A general description of the Cx activities from the design phase through the construction
and acceptance phases is outlined for a general understanding of the commissioning LEED NC
2.2 prerequisite and enhanced commissioning activities required for this project. It is to be un-
derstood that the commissioning process requires a total team effort to be successful.
Construction Phase:
The construction phase is the project evolvement from early construction to the start of the acceptance
phase. During the construction phase, the CxA shall schedule commissioning meetings as necessary
through the GC. Meetings are to take place only in the event that the commissioning process is not being
followed properly, or if scheduling issues arise. A meeting shall be scheduled just prior to contractor
starting equipment designated as “Commissioned Equipment “(such as, HVAC , major electrical and
plumbing systems) for the first time. In lieu of non scheduled Cx meetings, most ongoing Cx related is-
sues may be addressed via phone conferences with the CxA. Meeting minutes generated from non-
commissioning meetings are to be submitted to the CxA within one week of the meeting. Minutes of
scheduled commissioning meetings shall be the responsibility of the CxA or someone appointed by the
CxA.
During construction, MEP systems testing is to be verified by designated member of the Cx team and
associated record documents shall be signed by both the contractor and the designated Cx team witness
and shall be submitted to the CxA within one week of testing. The test record shall be reviewed and in-
serted in the final commissioning report by the CxA. Test documents may also be required to be submit-
ted to the design engineer as specified.
Prior to startup of equipment, which is part of the construction phase, the contractor is to submit
manufacturer’s startup procedure documents to the CxA for review and comment. Further startup proce-
dures/requirements may be submitted from the CxA to the contractor in the form of prefunctional test
documents. This process is intended to ensure proper and safe system startup in preparation for successful
functional testing, which will take place during the acceptance phase of the project. It is of the greatest
importance that the contractor complete all startup document checklists for EACH piece of equipment and
submit them to the CxA within one week of successful equipment startup.
Once the equipment has been successfully started, and startup documents submitted to the CxA, the
control contractor is to perform the point to point checkout of the BAS system. The control contractor is
then to assist the TAB contractor in total system balance as outlined in the construction documents. Prior
to the BAS and the TAB contractor verification process, they are to submit their verification procedures
narrative to the CxA for review and comment. At the completion of the TAB system verification, the
TAB contractor is to also submit a copy of the balance report to the CxA for review. The CxA shall wit-
ness portions of the equipment startup and BAS/TAB verification processes’ on an unannounced basis,
and submit any issues that arise in writing to the architect for distribution.
At this juncture of the project, the building should be 98% complete and close to readiness for occupancy.
The commissioning process should now to move to the acceptance phase.
