Course Description
This 2 ½ hour Commissioning Webinar will cover the commissioning process as described in the ACG Commissioning Guideline, as well as valuable practical insight on skills, strategies, and communication and documentation protocols essential to applying the process on “real- world” projects.
ACG CxA WORKSHOP WEBINAR
Learning Objectives d
At the end of this program, participants will be able to:
Explain the purpose, methodology, and benefits of the commissioning process as it relates to construction projects.
Identify and distinguish between the five phases of commissioning – (1) Pre-Design, (2) Design, (3) Construction, (4) Acceptance, and (5) Post-Acceptance – and the activities carried out in each of them.
Describe the documentation and deliverables that are essential to the delivery of quality commissioning services.
Identify the roles and responsibilities of all commissioning team members within the commissioning process, with particular emphasis on the role of the commissioning provider.

Why Commission?Why Commission?
Better Buildings
Building owners are finding that the energy, water, and productivity savings achieved by commissioned buildings can offset the cost of the commissioning process. Studies indicate 8 to 20 percent savings in building operating costs over those in a non-commissioned building.
(Building Commissioning Guide, Version 2.2, GSA/DOE, dated July 30, 1998)
ACG CxA WORKSHOP WEBINAR
Why Commission?Why Commission?
Better PeopleBetter People
Aside from achieving documented cost savings and cost avoidance, commissioning enhances customer satisfaction by promoting proper training of the owner’s Operations & Maintenance staff, which increases the longevity and efficient operation of building systems.
ACG CxA WORKSHOP WEBINAR
What is Commissioning?What is Commissioning?
A process of documentation, adjustment, testing, verification, and training, performed specifically to ensure that the finished facility operates in accordance with the owner’s documented project requirements and the construction documents.
It begins in pre-design and continues through design, construction, and the life of the facility.
(BCA draft document, 2004.)
ACG CxA WORKSHOP WEBINAR
What is Commissioning?What is Commissioning?
Design Intent Document
Details functional requirements and Owner’s expectations of how a building will be used and operated - OWNER’S PROJECT REQUIREMENTS
Basis for building commissioning
Basis of Design
The concepts, calculations, decisions, and product selections used to meet the OWNER’S PROJECT REQUIREMENTS

Objections To CommissioningObjections To Commissioning
““HavenHaven’’t I already paid for a quality building t I already paid for a quality building in my design and construction fees?in my design and construction fees?””
Designer’s (A/E) services typically do not include field verification that their design works as intended.
Construction Manager’s services typically do not include functional verification that the installed systems meet design intent.
ACG CxA WORKSHOP WEBINAR
Objections To CommissioningObjections To Commissioning
“Isn’t the Commissioning Authority just a ‘bigger hammer’ for the owner to use to
pound the designer and contractor?”
No. The CxA must be a team builder by using the commissioning process to the benefit of all.
No. The CxA should respect the traditional construction disciplines. The CxA has a distinct responsibility to owner for system quality and performance.
ACG CxA WORKSHOP WEBINAR
Objections To CommissioningObjections To Commissioning
“Isn’t commissioning just another layer of inspection?”
The CxA is not a layer, but a catalyst for communication that makes quality solutions possible.
The CxA is not inspector (fault finder, accuser).
The commissioning process provides verification that Owner’s Project Requirements implemented in design and construction.

The Economics of CommissioningThe Economics of Commissioning
* Based on research findings from University of Wisconsin,ASERTTI Training Module, 1998
If planned correctly and implemented early enough in the design process, commissioning can be included with little or no cost impact*.
