local value;
if any sensor in the sample is out of calibration, then an additional
sample shall be re-calibrated, until all sensors in a the sample are
found to be in calibration;
a minimum sample of each type actuators have been adjusted
and observed to fully close and open dampers and valves, and
that the reported values in the control system are correct;
if any actuator, valve, or damper in the sample does not operate
as required, then an additional sample of each type of actuator,
valve, or damper shall be checked until all actuators, valves, or
dampers in the sample are found to be to be operating as
required;
testing, adjusting and balancing by re-measuring a minimum
sample of values reported for each type of component, equipment,
subsystem, or system in the testing, adjusting and balancing
reports;
if any re-measured value in the sample deviates from
requirements by more than 10 percent, then an additional samples
shall be re-measured for each type part for which there is a
deviation;
any chimneys, chimney connectors and stacks are free of cracks,
blockages and leaks;
ensure that proper combustion air is provided to equipment; and
ensure that all appliances are installed in accordance with
applicable fire safety and local building codes.
The functional performance of each type of system, equipment, and
component shall be tested based on a minimum sample for each type. If
any part is found not to operate as required then additional samples shall
be tested to ensure satisfactory performance has been achieved.
As far as practicable equipment shall be tested to demonstrate
performance at near-design conditions (details of seasonally deferred
testing can be submitted as an alternative).
The efficiency of central plant shall be recorded for reference by
operations staff.
Functional performance testing can carried out using manual methods,
control system trend logs, stand-alone data loggers, etc, as considered
appropriate.
