1.2 DEFINITIONS and ABBREVIATIONS

1.2.1 DEFINITIONS

Acceptance Phase: The process of advancing systems, beyond the individual system start-ups, to a state of fully integrated, demonstrated, and documented operational order, according to design documents, during which the Employer‟s operating personnel is instructed in correct integrated systems operations. The commissioning process shall encompass and coordinate system documentation, equipment start-up, control system calibration, testing and balancing, performance testing and training, and will:

Verify and document proper performance of equipment and systems;

Verify that the delivered O and M documentation is thorough and complete;

Verify that the Employer‟s operating personnel are adequately trained.

Identification of deficiency or areas needing remedial actions and required timing for completion, such as, immediate need to complete test before further work or future testing, or before system handover.

Design Team: The prime consultant (architect) and consultants (engineers) who comprise the design team. Areas of Conflict: Where commissioning requirements conflict with technical design provisions or other requirements of the Contract Documents, prompting the Contractor to issue a request for clarification. Basis of Design: A document that records concepts, calculations, decisions, and product selections used to meet the Employer‟s Project Requirements (EPR) and to satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, standards, and guidelines. The document includes both narrative descriptions and lists of individual items that support the design process. Commissioning Authority: An independent entity (or agent employed on behalf of the entity) not associated with the work of the Design Team members or Contractor, but


____________________________________________________________________________________


may be contracted as a consultant or subcontractor to them. This entity leads, plans, schedules, coordinates the Cx team and implements the Commissioning Plan. Commissioning Is the process to take the equipment / system from a state of static completion to a fully functioning system and provides documentation to confirm that the equipment / systems operate in compliance with all contract documentation and operational criteria. Documented confirmation is provided that building systems function in compliance with criteria set forth in the Contract Documents and Employer operational criteria. The Commissioning Plan is an overall plan, developed by the Commissioning Author i ty dur ing the Pre -construct ion Phase that outlines the Cx team organization, communication paths, schedule, allocation of resources, matrix of responsibilities and documentation requirements (guidelines) of the commissioning process for the Beirut City Centre project. The Commissioning Plan is a „LIVE‟ document and, as such, will be subject to constant review during the Construction Phase through to hand over of the Beirut city Centre project as the process of material submittal and approval and shop drawing production and equipment / system installation continues. Construction Phase: The period during which the fabrication, assembly and installation of the system, or a distinct element of the system, is carried out on-Site. During the construction phase it is intended to achieve the following specific objectives according to the Contract Documents: Verify that applicable equipment and systems are installed according to the manufacturer‟s recommendations and to industry accepted standards. Identification of deficiency or areas needing remedial actions and required timing for completion, such as, immediate need to complete the insta l la t ion or s tat ic testing before the commencement of the Acceptance Stage of the project. Contract Documents: The documents binding on parties involved in the construction of this Project (drawings, specifications, Engineer‟s Instructions, Variation Orders, amendments, contracts, Cx plan, etc.). Contractor: The Contractor and its subcontractors. Contractor’s Pre-Commissioning Checklists: Includes installation and start-up items as specified to be completed by the Contractor independent of the CxA Commissioning Plan. Deferred Functional Tests: Tests that are performed after Taking-Over. (As defined in section 5.2.4.2 (F) of the commissioning plan). Due to partial occupancy, equipment, seasonal requirements, design or other site conditions that disallow the test from being performed. Deferred functional tests must be approved by the CxA. Deficiency: A condition in the installation or function of or system that is not in compliance with the contract documents. Design Intent: a dynamic document (specification 01 86 00 – Building services engineering requirements) that provides the explanation of the ideas, concepts and criteria that are considered to be very important to the Employer. It is initially the outcome of the programming and conceptual design phases.


____________________________________________________________________________________


Employer: the Employer is used to collectively cover MAF Employer-Contracted Tests: Tests paid for by the Employer outside the Contract and for which the CxA does not oversee. Employer’s Project Requirements: Non-technical document developed under the leadership of, and primarily by, the Engineer based on discussions with the Employer. It states the concepts, budget, and performance criteria (including functional requirements) to which the completed project must conform. It includes expectations of how the building will be used and operated. This document is the basis for building commissioning and includes items such as project goals, measurable performance criteria, cost considerations, benchmarks, success criteria, and supporting information. It is used by the engineers to develop their basis of design/design intent documentation. Engineer: The Engineer as named in the Contract. Final Commissioning Report: Document prepared by the CxA, which details the actual Cx procedures performed, inspection and testing results, and the final version of the deficiencies list indicating that all issues discovered through the Cx process have been verified as resolved or accepted. The report also includes key items for maintenance staff, such as fan and pump curves for equipment provided. A copy of the final report is furnished to the Employer as a menu-driven CD for future reference. Factory Acceptance Test (FAT): The objective of the Factory Acceptance Testing is to provide confidence that the procured equipment / system meet the requirements of the Contract Specification and design requirements. Once completed successfully, provided operation and acceptance criteria are met, confidence can be gained that the equipment will function correctly as part of the final system for which it is selected The Factory Acceptance Test is carried out against the design operating conditions and compared with the expected results. If there is a correct match for every case, the test is said to pass. If not, the equipment / system shall be either: Rejected or accepted on conditions agreed between the Engineer and the manufacturer. In the event that a Factory Acceptance Test does not pass, the manufacturer shall carryout all works that are required and the Sub Contractor will arrange for the Factory Acceptance Test to be rescheduled at both, no cost to those attending and no detriment to the project programme. In the event that a Factory Acceptance Test does not pass, but conditions can be agreed between the Consultant and the manufacturer, the test will be accepted on the understanding that inspection will take place on site prior to installation into final location of the equipment / system, to confirm those agreed conditions have been met. Functional Performance Test (FPT): The FPT check sheets will be developed by the contractor and reviewed by the Commissioning Authority in line with the final design and installation. The written functional test procedures form in a sequential format and then co-ordinates oversees and documents the actual testing which is usually performed by the installing contractor or vendor. Functional performance testing takes place after pre-functional (installation and start-up) tests have been completed. Functional Performance Testing is the culmination of the Acceptance Stage of the project and is the process of testing of the dynamic function and operation of equipment and systems using manual (direct observation) or monitoring methods including Static and Start-up (Energising) tests. Functional Performance Testing is the dynamic testing of systems (rather than just components) under full operation


____________________________________________________________________________________


(e.g., the Chilled water pump is tested interactively with the ETS functions to see if the pump ramps up and down to maintain the differential pressure set-point). Systems are tested under various modes, such as during low cooling or heating loads, high loads, component failures, unoccupied premises, varying outside air temperatures, fire alarm, power failure, etc. The systems are run through all the control system‟s sequences of operation and components are verified to be responding as the sequences state. The General Contractor coordinates, oversee and document the actual testing, which is usually performed by the installing contractor or vendor. FPT‟s are performed after pre-functional checklists and start-ups are complete. Functional performance testing can be divided into two basic categories. Integrated Systems Tests: Integrate various “stand-alone” systems into a coordinated set of integrated systems functioning together. Examples include Fire Alarm System/Smoke Evacuation System/Elevator and Escalator Controls all functioning in unison. Issues Log: A list of systems/equipment or procedural deficiencies and issues that have been noted. The list is prepared by the CxA and includes the current disposition of each issue and the date of final resolution. Deficiencies include products/material, installation, service, or systems/equipment performance that do not comply with the Contract Documents and/or Commissioning Plan. Manufacturing Phase: The period during which the manufacture, fabrication and assembly of the system, or a distinct element of the system, is carried out off-Site; Monitoring: Recording parameters (i.e. flow, current, status, pressure, etc.) of equipment operation using data loggers or the trending capabilities of control systems. O&M Manuals: Manuals used for the training, operations and maintenance of systems and equipment. The Contractor should reference additional requirements in the individual systems/equipment Specification Sections. Pre-functional Test (PFT): The PFT check sheets to be developed by contractor and thoroughly reviewed and approved by the Commissioning Authority in line with the final design and installation. PFT checklists are used to verify systems/equipment that installation and start-up activities comply with the Contract Documents and equipment submittals. CxA verification can include inspections, tests and procedures to prepare equipment for initial start-up and proper / continuous operation (such as cleanliness, belt tension, oil levels OK, labels affixed, gauges in place, sensors calibrated, initial settings, etc.). Operationally, the check sheets shall be used to verify system set points, operating strategies, required component testing, correct rotation, and damper positions prior to functional performance tests. They shall incorporate manufacturers‟ start-up instructions. The check sheets require final sign-off by the Contractor and CxA prior to continuing the commissioning process. Seasonal Performance Tests: Functional performance tests that are deferred until system design conditions can be replicated or simulated. Specification: The specifications are a part of the Contract Documents and supplements the Drawings. Specifications can also include procedures implied in the Commissioning Plan. Start-up: The initial start-up or activation of dynamic equipment.


____________________________________________________________________________________


Subcontractor: Members of the construction team providing a service or product that are contracted by the Contractor System Tests: Involves testing a complete “stand-alone” system and all of its components. Examples would be the electrical power distribution system, water supply system, etc. Training: Instructions and hands-on demonstration of operating and maintaining systems and equipment. Trending: Monitoring of equipment and sequences using the building control system or data loggers. Vendor: Supplier of equipment of service.

(1) Full System Commissioning As each system or service is completed and „linked‟ by the interface/integration requirement, full system tests shall be carried out. In some instances these will be conducted in an “operational” simulation and in similar conditions. However, other “operational” tests may be carried out by the Employer after substantial completion and handing over of the facility.

(1.1) Sub-System Functional Tests Each sub-system shall be tested as a “stand alone” system, verifying that the sub-system is operational in its own right. (1.2) Segmental System Tests Many systems are subdivided into segmental systems and each segment shall be tested as if it were both a “Stand-alone” system and as part of the overall system. This provides information on each segment of the system and provides for easier identification of any faults and/or failures which can then be rectified without having to investigate the whole system to find any such fault and/or failure. (1.3) Zone Testing The project is divided into specific construction zones. This may require part systems located within these zones to be tested separately so as to clearly identify if any fault and/or failure are evident within any particular zone. As with segmental tests this provides for easier identification of any such fault and/or failure within a system or sub-system. (1.4) Individual Integration and Interface Tests Full integration and interface testing with all systems, services and linked components. These tests are to ensure all systems work with and between the interfaces as described in the specifications.

6.2.2 BUILDING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.

6.2.2.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The Building Management System (BMS) uses the latest technology in distributed intelligence, processing and direct digital control capable of web-based access from a remote PC via a secure IT network to implement the necessary sequences for satisfactory operation and monitoring of the building services such as air, electricity and water distribution systems within the Beirut City Centre area. The prime function of the BMS on this project is to automate the systems and control the various internal environmental conditions and to monitor the status and performance of all associated systems for optimum comfort level, design and operational requirements and effective energy-management. The network design is a fully distributed network, with each primary system having its own locally mounted dedicated controller. Any failure in the network shall not in any way affect the control of these primary systems and is easily maintained, operated and / or interrogated for fault finding purposes and that is also capable of carrying out self-diagnostic procedures. The system monitors and controls the following: HVAC equipment (e.g., AHU‟s, FCU‟s, VAV Terminals, extract fans, chilled water, condenser water systems, VFD controllers, etc.) Plumbing equipment (e.g., domestic water pumps, water features, irrigation, cooling tower, boilers, heat exchangers, etc.), Drainage equipment (e.g., sump, and sewage pumps, grease interceptors and traps, etc.), and Electrical equipment. The BMS consist of a two-tiered system, an upper/top level Ethernet TCP/IP network, and a twisted-pair field bus based on BACnet MS/TP. All field bus communications must be routed through Ethernet-based Network Controllers or Routers, and not directly through PC workstations or servers.

Level 1 – involves the Graphical User Interface (GUI) acting as the Operators Workstation (OWS) for monitoring, management and control of equipment connected to the system. Integration of various other systems can be configured for data exchange at this level. Control philosophies and the associated controls for achieving the desired control operation of connected equipment, are part of this level. The Master Control Units (MCUs) are connected to each other on BACnet over IP and in-turn connected to the LAN IP network through a router.

Level 2 – all the associated field equipment such as sensors, thermostats and control elements such as valves and actuators are part of this level. The General Purpose Multiple or Single Application Controllers (e.g., Local Control Unit - LCU, Equipment Control Unit - ECU, Terminal Control Unit – TCU) performing dedicated monitoring and control functions for FCU, VAV etc. are also a part of this level.

The design of the network shall be such that additional General Purpose Multiple or Single Application Controllers may be added to the network in the future or the network expanded with minimal disruption to the normal operation of the system. Each local area network LAN shall have a minimum of 25% spare capacity to allow additional devices to be installed. The BMS shall integrate with various Extra Low Voltage (ELV) Systems via high level interface using the protocol for information exchange at the Management level such as:

6.3.12 AIR HANDLING UNITS AND MISCELLANEOUS FANS

6.3.12.1 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION All Air Handling Units on the project are to be multi fans units. Air Handling Units There are three main types of AHU utilised on the Beirut City Centre Project:


____________________________________________________________________________________


AHUs with Recirculation (AHU)

These are utilised in mall areas. There are approximately 19 of these units within the project.

The return air from the mall is mixed with the fresh air to achieve the desired air quality and temperature, which then can be cooled / heated if required before entering the ductwork network to the various areas served by the AHU. The AHU‟s with recirculation serving the Beirut City Centre project mall areas are as listed below: AHU-L0-L0-01, AHU-L0-L0-02, AHU-L0-L0-03, AHU-L0-L0-04, AHU-L0-L0-05, AHU-L0-L0-06, AHU-L3-L1-01, AHU-L3-L1-02, AHU-L3-L1-03, AHU-L3-L1-04, AHU-L3-L2-01, AHU-L3-L2-02, AHU-L3-L2-03, AHU-L3-L2-04, AHU-L3-L2-05, AHU-L3-L2-06, AHU-L4-L3-01, AHU-L4-L3-02,AHU-L4-L3-03,AHU-L4-L3-04. Full Fresh Air Units with Energy Recovery Wheel (AHU)

These are used in the shops and toilet areas. There are 8 of these units within the project.

A fundamental part of the energy efficiency of the HVAC systems on the Beirut City Centre project is the energy recovery wheel. These systems utilise the exhaust air from the shops or toilets and transfer the energy to the incoming fresh air. These ventilation systems are 100% fresh air systems and the heat recovery makes use of the considerable amount of rejected energy (cold air in the hot months and warm air in the winter) that would be discharged by the extract air systems. The energy recovery system absorbs the heat being rejected from the mall shops and toilets and then transfers it to the fresh air supply ductwork and used as pre-cooling in the summer and pre-heating in the winter.

The AHU‟s with energy recovery wheels serving the Beirut City Centre project shop and toilets areas are as listed below: AHU-L3-FC-01, AHU-L3-FC-02, FAHU-L4-Toilets-01, FAHU-L4-Toilets-02, FAHU-L4-Toilets-03, FAHU-RF-Toilets-01, FA.ERU-L3-Shops-01, FA.ERU-L3-Shops-02, FA.ERU-L4-Shops-01,

AHUs with Recirculation and Energy Recovery Wheel (AHU)

These are utilised in Food Court areas. There are 2 of these units within the project.

These ventilation systems are either 100% fresh air systems or utilize the three way mixing box. The heat recovery makes use of the considerable amount of rejected energy (cold air in the hot months and warm air in the winter) that would be discharged by the extract air systems. The energy recovery system absorbs the heat being rejected from the mall shops and toilets and then transfers it to the fresh air supply ductwork and used as pre-cooling in the summer and pre-heating in the winter.

The AHU‟s with recirculation and energy recovery wheels serving the Beirut City Centre project food courts are as listed below: AHU-L3-FC-01 & AHU-L3-FC-02
