SECTION 01 91 00 – COMMISSIONING REQUIREMENTS

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 DESCRIPTION

A. Commissioning: Commissioning is a quality-oriented process for achieving, verifying, and documenting that the performance of facilities, systems, and assemblies meet defined objectives and criteria. The Commissioning process begins at project inception (during the pre-design phase) and continues through the life of the facility. The commissioning process includes specific tasks to be conducted during each phase in order to verify that design, construction, and training meets the Owner's project requirements.

B. Commissioning Team: The members of the commissioning team consist of the contracted commissioning agent (CxA), the Owner’s representative/construction manager (CM), the general contractor (GC), the architect and design engineers, the mechanical contractor (MC), the electrical contractor (EC), the testing and balancing (TAB) contractor, the control contractor (CC), the facility operating staff, and any other installing subcontractors or suppliers of equipment. The contracted commissioning authority is hired by the Owner directly. The CxA directs and coordinates the project commissioning activities and the reports to the Owner. All team members work together to fulfill their contracted responsibilities and meet the objectives of the contract documents. Commissioning shall:

1. Verify that applicable equipment and systems are installed according to the contract documents, manufacturer’s recommendations, and industry accepted minimum standards and these receive adequate operational checkout by installing contractors.

2. Verify and document proper performance of equipment and systems. 3. Verify that O&M documentation left on site is complete. 4. Verify that the Owner’s operating personnel are adequately trained.

C. The commissioning process does not take away from or reduce the responsibility of the system designers or installing contractors to provide a finished and fully functioning product.


A. Drawings and general provisions of the contract, including General and Supplementary Conditions and other Division 1 specification sections, apply to this section.

B. Owner’s Project Requirements and Basis of Design documents are included by reference for information only.

3.2 STARTUP, CONSTRUCTION CHECKLISTS, AND INITIAL CHECKOUT

A. The following procedures apply to all equipment/systems to be commissioned, according to Paragraph 1.9 Equipment/Systems to be commissioned.

B. General. Construction checklists are important to verify that the equipment and systems are fully connected and operational. It ensures that performance testing (in-depth system checkout) may proceed without unnecessary delays. The construction checklists for a given system must be successfully completed and approved prior to startup and formal performance testing of equipment or subsystems of the given system.

C. Startup and Checkout Plan. The CxA will assist the project commissioning team members responsible for startup of any equipment. The primary role of the CxA in this process is to ensure that there is written documentation that each of the manufacturer-recommended procedures has been completed. The CxA shall provide construction checklists and startup shall be identified in the commissioning scoping meeting and on the checklist forms

1. The construction checklists indicate required procedures to be executed prior to startup and initial checkout of the systems.

2. The contractor shall determine which trade is responsible for executing and documenting each of the line item tasks and transmit the checklists to the responsible subcontractors. Each form may have more than one trade responsible for its execution.

3. The contractor/subcontractor with assistance from the CxA responsible for the purchase of the equipment shall develop the full startup plan by combining the manufacturer’s detailed startup and checkout procedures and the construction checklists.

4. The contractor/subcontractor shall submit the full startup plan to the CxA for review and approval.



5. The CxA will review and recommend approval of the procedures and the documentation format for reporting. The CxA will return the procedures and the documentation format to the contractor, through the CM.

6. The contractor will transmit the full startup plan to the subcontractors for their review and use.

D. Sensor and Actuator Calibration. All field-installed temperature, relative humidity, CO, CO2, refrigerant, O2, and/or pressure sensors and gages, and all actuators (dampers and valves) on all equipment shall be calibrated. Verify that all locations are appropriate and away from causes of erratic operation. Submit to the CxA through the CM the calibration methods and results. All test instruments shall have had a certified calibration within the last 6 months to NIST traceable standards, and comply with all local, state and/or federal requirements/certifications, as required. Sensors installed in the unit at the factory with calibration certification provided need not be field calibrated. Provide bench testing as required at the direction of the CxA.

1. Sensor Calibration Methods

a. All Sensors-- Verify that all sensor locations are appropriate and away from causes of erratic operation. Verify that sensors with shielded cable, are grounded only at one end. For sensor pairs that are used to determine a temperature or pressure difference, make sure they are reading within 0.2°F of each other for temperature and within a tolerance equal to 2% of the reading, of each other, for pressure. Tolerances for critical applications may be tighter.

b. Sensors without Transmitters-- Standard Application. Make a reading with a calibrated test instrument within 6 inches of the site sensor. Verify that the sensor reading (via the permanent thermostat, gage or building automation system (BAS)) is within the tolerances in the table below of the instrument-measured value. If not, install offset in BAS, calibrate or replace sensor.

c. Sensors with Transmitters-- Standard Application. Disconnect sensor. Connect a signal generator in place of sensor. Connect ammeter in series between transmitter and BAS control panel. Using manufacturer’s resistance-temperature data, simulate minimum desired temperature. Adjust transmitter potentiometer zero until 4 mA is read by the ammeter. Repeat for the maximum temperature matching 20 mA to the potentiometer span or maximum and verify at the BAS. Record all values and recalibrate controller as necessary to conform with specified control ramps, reset schedules, proportional relationship, reset relationship and P/I reaction. Reconnect sensor. Make a reading with a calibrated test instrument within 6 inches of the site sensor. Verify that the sensor reading (via the permanent thermostat, gage or building automation system (BAS) is within the tolerances in the table below of the instrument-measured value. If not, replace sensor and repeat. For pressure sensors, perform a similar process with a suitable signal generator.

3. Valve and Damper Stroke Setup and Check EMS Readout-- For all valve and damper actuator positions checked, verify the actual position against the BAS readout. Set pumps or fans to normal operating mode. Command valve or damper closed, visually verify that valve or damper is closed and adjust output zero signal as required. Command valve or damper open, verify position is full open and adjust output signal as required. Command valve or damper to a few intermediate positions. If actual valve or damper position doesn’t reasonably correspond, replace actuator or add pilot positioner (for pneumatics).

4. Closure for heating coil valves (NO) -- Set heating setpoint 20°F above room temperature. Observe valve open. Remove control air or power from the valve and verify that the valve stem and actuator position do not change. Restore to normal. Set heating setpoint to 20°F below room temperature. Observe the valve close. For pneumatics, by override in the EMS, increase pressure to valve by 3 psi (do not exceed actuator pressure rating) and verify valve stem and actuator position does not change. Restore to normal.

5. Closure for cooling coil valves (NC)-- Set cooling setpoint 20°F above room temperature. Observe the valve close. Remove control air or power from the valve and verify that the valve stem and actuator position do not change. Restore to normal. Set cooling setpoint to 20°F below room temperature. Observe valve open. For pneumatics, by override in the EMS, increase pressure to valve by 3 psi (do not exceed actuator pressure rating) and verify valve stem and actuator position does not change. Restore to normal.

E. Execution of Construction Checklists and Startup.

1. Four weeks prior to the scheduled startup, the contractor shall coordinate startup and checkout with the CM, A/E, and CxA. The execution and approval of the construction checklists, startup, and checkout shall be directed and performed by the contractor, subcontractor or vendor. Signatures are required of the applicable subcontractors for verification of completion of their work.

2. The Owner/CM, and A/E as necessary, shall observe, at minimum, the procedures for each piece of primary equipment, unless there are multiple units, in which case a sampling strategy may be used. The CxA will observe all testing.

3. For lower-level components of equipment, (e.g., sensors, controllers), the CxA shall observe a sampling of the startup procedures.

4. The subcontractors and vendors shall execute startup and provide the CxA and A/E, through the Owner/CM, with a signed and dated copy of the completed startup and construction checklists.

5. Only individuals of the contractor (technicians, engineers, tradesmen, vendors, etc.) who have direct knowledge and witnessed that a line item task on the construction checklist was actually performed shall check off that item. It is not acceptable for witnessing supervisors to fill out these forms.

F. Deficiencies, Non-Conformance, and Approval in Checklists and Startup(Master Issues Log).

1. The contractor shall ensure that the subcontractors clearly list any outstanding items of the initial startup and construction checklist procedures that were not completed successfully, on an attached sheet. The form and any outstanding deficiencies shall be provided, through the Owner/CM, to the CxA within two days of test completion.

manner, shall notify the Owner/CM as soon as outstanding items have been corrected, and resubmit an updated startup report with a Statement of Correction on the original non-compliance report. When satisfactorily completed, the CxA will recommend approval of the execution of the checklists and startup of each system.

3. Items left incomplete, which later cause deficiencies or delays during performance may result in back-charges to the contractor. Refer to Paragraph 3.5, herein, for details.

3.3 SUBMITTALS

A. The CxA will provide appropriate contractors with a specific request for the type of submittal documentation the CxA requires facilitating the commissioning work. These requests will be integrated into the normal submittal process and protocol of the construction team. At minimum, the request will include the manufacturer and model number, the manufacturer’s printed installation and detailed startup procedures, full sequences of operation, O&M data, performance data, any performance test procedures, control drawings and details of Owner contracted tests. In addition, the installation and checkout materials that are actually shipped inside the equipment and the actual field checkout sheet forms to be used by the factory or field technicians shall be submitted to the commissioning authority. All documentation requested by the CxA will be included by the subcontractors in their O&M manual contributions.

B. The CxA will review and recommend approval of submittals related to the commissioned equipment for conformance to the contract documents as it relates to the commissioning process, to the performance of the equipment and adequacy for developing test procedures. This review is intended primarily to aid in the development of performance procedures and only secondarily to verify compliance with equipment specifications. The commissioning authority will notify the Owner/CM, PM or A/E as requested, of items missing or areas that are not in conformance with contract documents and which require resubmission.

C. The CxA may request additional design narrative from the A/E and controls contractor, depending on the completeness of the OPR documentation and sequences provided with the specifications.

D. These submittals to the CxA do not constitute compliance for O&M manual documentation. The O&M manuals are the responsibility of the contractor, though the CxA will review and recommend approval of them.

3.4 TEST, ADJUST, AND BALANCE (TAB) VERIFICATION

A. Contractor shall submit complete TAB report for CxA, Owner, and AE review. Report will be deemed incomplete if not balanced in compliance with contract documents or if incomplete because of contractor related issues.

C. Completion of controls shall include a complete and operational system, with recommended trending in place, schedules setup, and all graphic completed.

D. TAB Verification and Functional performance testing will not begin until forms are complete.

3.6 FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE TESTING

A. Requirements. The contractor directed functional performance testing shall demonstrate that each system is operating according to the documented design intent and contract documents. Performance testing facilitates bringing the systems from a state of individual substantial completion to full dynamic operation. Additionally, during the testing process, areas of deficient performance are identified and corrected, improving the operation and functioning of the systems.

B. Coordination and Scheduling. The contractor shall provide sufficient notice, regarding their completion schedule for the construction checklists and startup of all equipment and systems to allow the performance testing to be scheduled. The commissioning team shall oversee, witness, and document the performance of all equipment and systems. The CxA in association with the contractor/subcontractors and facility staff shall execute the tests. Performance testing shall be conducted after the construction checklists, and startup has been satisfactorily completed. The control system shall be sufficiently tested and recommend approval of by the CxA before it is used, to verify performance of other components or systems. The air balancing and water balancing shall be completed before performance testing of air or water-related equipment or systems. Testing proceeds from components to sub-systems to systems. When the proper performance of all interacting individual systems has been achieved, the interface or coordinated responses between systems shall be checked.

C. Development of Test Procedures. Before test procedures are finalized, the contractor shall provide to the A/E and the CxA all requested documentation and a current list of changes affecting equipment or systems, including an updated points list, program code, control sequences, and testing parameters. Using the testing parameters and requirements in the technical specifications, the CxA shall update/develop specific test procedures and forms to



verify and document proper operation of each piece of equipment and system. Each contractor/subcontractor or vendor, as appropriate, shall provide assistance to the CxA in developing the final procedures. Prior to finalization, the A/E shall review and concur with the test procedure.

D. Test Methods.

1. Performance testing and verification may be achieved by manual testing or by monitoring the performance and analyzing the results using the control system’s trend log capabilities or by stand-alone data loggers. The CxA may substitute specified methods or require an additional method to be executed other than what was specified, with the approval of the A/E and Owner/CM. The CxA will determine which method is most appropriate for tests that do not have a specified method.

2. Simulated Conditions. Simulating conditions shall be allowed, though timing the testing to experience actual conditions is encouraged wherever practical.

3. Overridden Values. Overriding sensor values to simulate a condition, such as overriding the outside air temperature reading in a control system to be something other than it really is, is acceptable.

4. Simulated Signals. Using a signal generator which creates a simulated signal to test and calibrate transducers and DDC constants is generally recommended over using the sensor to act as the signal generator via simulated conditions or overridden values.

5. Altering Setpoints. Rather than overriding sensor values, and when simulating conditions is difficult, altering setpoints to test a sequence is acceptable.

6. Indirect Indicators. Relying on indirect indicators for responses or performance shall be allowed only after visually and directly verifying and documenting, over the range of the test parameters, that the indirect readings through the control system represent actual conditions and responses.

7. Setup. Each performance test shall be performed under conditions that simulate actual conditions as closely as is practically possible. The contractor/subcontractor(s) assisting the CxA in executing the test shall provide all necessary materials, system modifications, etc., to produce the necessary flows, pressures, temperatures, etc., necessary to execute the test according to the specified conditions. At completion of the test, the contractor/subcontractor(s) shall return all affected equipment and systems to their recommend and approved of operating settings.

E. Test Equipment. Refer to Part 2 for test equipment requirements.

F. Problem Solving. The burden of responsibility to solve, correct, and retest malfunctions/failures is with the contractor, with Owner approval as required.

3.7 DOCUMENTATION, NON-CONFORMANCE, AND APPROVAL OF TESTS

A. Documentation. The CxA shall witness and verify/pre-recommend approval of the documentation of the results of all performance tests. The CxA shall complete all documentation for performance testing.

B. Non-Conformance.

2. As tests progress and a deficiency is identified, the CxA shall discuss the issue with the commissioning team, and the contractor.



a. When there is no dispute on the deficiency and the contractor accepts responsibility to correct it:

1) The CxA will document the deficiency and the contractor’s response and intentions. After the day’s work, the CxA will submit the non-compliance reports to the CM. The contractor corrects the deficiency, signs the statement of correction at the bottom of the non-compliance form certifying that the equipment is ready to be retested and sends it back to the CxA.

2) The contractor shall reschedule the test; and the test repeated.

b. If there is a dispute about a deficiency, regarding whether or not it is a deficiency:

1) The dispute shall be documented on the non-compliance form with the contractor’s response.

2) Resolutions are made at the lowest management level possible. Other parties are brought into the discussions as needed. Final interpretive authority is with the A/E. Final acceptance authority is with the construction manager.

3) The CxA documents the resolution process. 4) Once the interpretation and resolution have been decided, the contractor

corrects the deficiency, signs the statement of correction on the non-compliance form and provides it to the CxA, through the CM. The contractor shall reschedule the test and the test repeated until satisfactory performance is achieved.

3. Cost of retesting a performance test is the contractor’s. 4. The contractor shall submit in writing to the CM at least as often as commissioning

meetings are being scheduled, the status of each outstanding discrepancy identified during commissioning. Discussion shall cover explanations of any disagreement and proposals for their resolutions.

a. The CxA retains the original non-conformance forms until the end of the project. b. Retesting shall not be considered a justified reason for a claim of delay or for a

time extension by the contractor.

C. Failure Due to Manufacturer Defect. If 10% (or three, whichever is greater) of identical pieces of equipment fail to perform to the contract documents (mechanically or substantively) due to a manufacturing defect, not allowing it to meet its submitted performance specification, all identical units may be considered unacceptable by the A/E or CxA. In such case, the contractor shall provide the Owner with the following:

1. Within one week of notification from the Owner/CM, the contractor or manufacturer’s representative shall examine all other identical units making a record of the findings. The findings shall be provided to the CM within two weeks of the original notice.

2. Within two weeks of the original notification, the contractor or manufacturer shall provide a signed and dated, written explanation of the problem, cause of failures, etc., and all proposed solutions. The proposed solutions shall not significantly exceed the specification requirements of the original installation.

3. The A/E will determine whether a replacement of all identical units or a repair is acceptable.

4. Two examples, where applicable, of the proposed solution shall be installed by the contractor and the A/E shall be allowed to test the installations for up to one week, upon which the A/E will decide whether to accept the solution.

5. Upon acceptance, the contractor and/or manufacturer shall replace or repair all identical items, at their expense. The replacement/repair work shall proceed with reasonable speed beginning within one week from when parts can be obtained.



D. Approval. The CxA notes each satisfactorily demonstrated function on the test form. Final approval of the performance test by the Owner is made after review by the CxA and CM, following recommendations by the A/E.

3.8 DEFERRED TESTING

A. Unforeseen Deferred Tests. If any check or test cannot be completed due to the project completion level, required occupancy condition or other deficiency, execution of checklists and performance testing may be delayed upon approval of the CxA and CM. These tests will be conducted in the same manner as the seasonal tests as soon as possible. Services of necessary parties will be negotiated.

B. Seasonal Testing. During the warranty period, seasonal testing (tests delayed until weather conditions are closer to the system’s design) shall be completed as part of this contract. The CxA shall coordinate this activity through the Owner/CM. Tests will be executed by the contractor, documented by the CxA and deficiencies should be corrected by the appropriate contractor/ subcontractors with the CxA witnessing. Any final adjustments to the O&M manuals and as-builts due to the testing shall be made by the contractor.
