STEP 6. DEVELOP CX REQUIREMENTS AND INCORPORATE INTO CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS

Before construction begins, develop commissioning requirements based on the systems included in the design and
incorporate them into the construction documents.

STEP 7. UPDATE OPR, BOD, AND CX PLAN

STEP 8. CONDUCT CX KICKOFF MEETING

STEP 9. DEVELOP CONSTRUCTION CHECKLISTS

• Checklists provide confirmation to the CxA that the systems have been installed, started up, programmed, tested, and
balanced, and that the team is ready to proceed with functional testing.
• In general, contractors are responsible for filling out the checklists and returning them to the CxA.
• Construction checklists must be completed for all equipment, assemblies, and systems included in Cx scope. Sampling
strategies are not permitted.

STEP 10. CONDUCT PREFUNCTIONAL INSPECTIONS

Communicate with the contractors to determine the exact schedule for prefunctional inspections to verify proper
installation and handling of systems to be commissioned. Several activities that can be considered prefunctional inspections
include site visits, field observations, and review of start-up forms, construction checklists, and complete test-and-balance
reports.
STEP 11. DEVELOP FUNCTIONAL TEST SCRIPTS
Functional testing scripts typically follow the sequence of operations developed by the engineer. If a controls contractor
created the sequence of operations, the design engineer must approve the controls submittal to ensure it adheres to the
BOD.
STEP 12. EXECUTE FUNCTIONAL TESTING
Perform functional performance testing once all system components are installed, energized, programmed, balanced, and
otherwise ready for operation under part- and full-load conditions.
• The CxA generally oversees the testing; the contractors execute the testing.
• Sampling strategies may be implemented for functional testing. An acceptable sampling rate is “10 or 10%,” meaning
that for multiple units of the same type with the same components and sequences (e.g., fan coil units or variable air
Overview volume systems), the commissioning team may test only 10 units or 10% of the units, whichever is greater.

OWNER’S PROJECT REQUIREMENTS

The OPR details the functional requirements as well as the expectations of the building’s use and operation. The
intention is to document the owner’s requirements and objectives for the project to verify that those goals are carried
through the life of the project.
There is no required format; an OPR outline might include the following:
• Key project requirements. Items that the Cx process will focus on, and that the owner has deemed critical to the
project.
• Occupant requirements. Functions, number of occupants, and schedules for the building.
• Budget considerations and limitations. The expected cost restrictions and considerations for the project’s design,
construction, and commissioning process.
• Target goals. The owner’s overall goals, such as energy efficiency and sustainability.
• Performance criteria. The standards by which the project will be evaluated by the Cx team. Each criterion should
be measurable and verifiable. Potential topics include general, economic, user requirements, construction process,
operations, systems, and assemblies.
• Operations and maintenance requirements. Established criteria for ongoing operations and maintenance, as well
as training requirements for personnel.

PROJECT TYPE VARIATIONS

Data Centers
The OPR should address the overall energy efficiency goals of the project, including the partial- and full-load power
usage effectiveness (PUE). Information on how the data center will be operated and by whom will help ensure quality
operation of complex systems. Clear and concise documentation of the BOD—including the cooling systems’ level of
power, redundancy, reliability, and ability to support data center operations and energy efficiency during preventive or
unscheduled maintenance—will help the CxA evaluate performance.

District Energy Systems

All downstream equipment is included in the scope of this prerequisite. Such equipment includes heat exchangers,
steam pressure reduction stations, pumps, valves, pipes, building electrical services, and controls. All upstream
equipment is excluded from the scope of this prerequisite.
