

equipment installation;



functional performance and efficiency;



equipment documentation;



operations and maintenance review and recommendations; and



operator training.

The functional performance and efficiency section for each piece of

equipment shall identify the verification method used observations and

conclusions from the testing.

The report must also include a list of outstanding commissioning issues

and any testing that is scheduled for a later date.

All outstanding deficiencies identified during or as a result of

commissioning activities shall have been corrected or must be separately

listed and highlighted in the commissioning report.

Each non-compliance issue must be referenced to where the deficiency

is documented.

Verification and documentation of installation of systems, equipment and

components shall ensure:



that they are installed according to construction documents and

manufacturer’s instructions;



or any differences between the final installation and the original

construction documents are documented;



that other building systems or components are not compromising

the efficiency of the systems or features being commissioned;



the start-up and inspection checklists were completed and

performed as required;



that functional performance tests are completed as required.



that HVAC piping testing and duct testing is completed and

documentation is included in operations and maintenance

manuals;



sufficient functional testing of any control systems;



that testing record include any deficiencies and corrections;



final testing outcomes are included in the commissioning report

and in operations and maintenance manuals;



documentation of any seasonally deferred testing and corrections

of any deficiencies;



the operations and maintenance manual and energy management

manual are complete for all components, equipment, subsystems,

and systems that have been commissioned; and



adequacy of training provided for the Owner's management,

operations and maintenance personnel.

If components, equipment, subsystems, or controls, or sequences of

operations as-built are differing from the original construction documents,

the report shall detail these differences.

If seasonally deferred testing is completed to be under the original

contract, the commissioning authority shall issue an addendum to the

report, arranged in the same manner as in the initial report.
