Commissioning -2
CX-2
is the commissioning module that continues on with most, if not
all the documentation standards pertinent to the Construction
Phase commissioning process and LEED commissioning requirements
leading up to the FPT (functional performance test) system
demonstration. These documents follow industry guidelines but go
beyond standard practice to provide the most comprehensive set
of documents to be used job after job. Electronic formatted for
computer tablet of laptop use in the field, these Microsoft Word
and Excel documents are created for quality control of the
“system readiness” part of the commissioning process.
Based on experience and time-tested, these documents and
individual equipment checklists can be edited on a job-by-job
basis to assure the contractor will provide the pertinent
startup data necessary to confirm system readiness and help the
contractor to be prepared to move into the next phase of
commissioning, the FPT system demonstration.
When used, each document provides the means to track, monitor,
and offer for signoff by the trades who make up the
Commissioning Team. Cx-2 provides the actual business tools to
be able to deliver the process that include the following:
- Commissioning Meetings (4-documents)
- Field Visits (3-documents)
- Commissioning Test Plan & Schedule (1-documents)
- Logs (9-additional documents)
- Inspection Checklists (Excel workbook with 42-checklists)
See Example
- Prefunctional Performance Test Checklists ((1-Excel workbook
with 42-PFPT/System Readiness documents)
Cx-2 can be specified in the commissioning specification as a
trade contractor requirement to complete and sign-off each
applicable document (HVAC, Plumbing, & Electrical) leading up to
the FPT system demonstration. These inspection checklists can
also be linked to the facility manager’s computerized
maintenance management software (CMMS) system asset database for
future use when assessing existing conditions in the future
CHECKLISTS CAN BE LINKED TO "BIM" PROJECT DOCUMENTS.
