Commissioning

Commissioning is often misinterpreted to focus solely on testing during the end of the construction phase. However, commissioning is actually a collaborative process for planning, delivering, and operating buildings that work as intended. ASHRAE (The American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers) defines commissioning as “…the process of ensuring that systems are designed, installed, functionally tested, and capable of being operated and maintained to perform in conformity with the design intent… Commissioning begins with planning and includes design, construction, start-up, acceptance and training, and can be applied throughout the life of the building.” This definition accurately depicts commissioning as a holistic process that spans from pre-design planning to post-construction operation and can be thought of as a checks-and-balances system.

Accordingly, Gruen ensures that the following goals of commissioning are achieved:

• Define and document requirements clearly at the outset of each phase and update through the process
• Verify and document compliance at each completion level
• Establish and document commissioning process tasks for subsequent phase delivery team members
• Deliver buildings and construction projects that meet the owner’s needs, at the time of completion
• Verify that operation and maintenance personnel and occupants are properly trained
• Maintain facility performance across its life cycle
