1 Introduction Commissioning is defined as a systematic process of assuring by verification and documentation,
from the design phase to a minimum of one year after construction that all building facility
systems perform interactively in accordance with the design documentation and intent, and in
accordance with the owner’s operational needs, including preparation of operations personnel.
This Commissioning Plan is intended to be a roadmap for the parties involved in the
Commissioning process. It lists the systems to be commissioned, the Commissioning process
activities, and the roles and responsibilities for each party involved.
The goals of the Commissioning Plan are to identify and define the following:
Systems to be commissioned.
Commissioning team members.
Commissioning activities.
Commissioning Team member responsibilities for each Commissioning activity.
Documentation requirements from each activity and Commissioning Team member.
Schedule parameters (i.e., how will Commissioning activities integrate into the other
project delivery milestones?).
Acceptance criteria for the completion of commissioning.
The Commissioning Process Matrix and Flowchart graphically depict the commissioning process
and its flow from the Planning Phase through the Warranty Phase. These are intended to be a
quick reference for identifying the fundamental components of commissioning and their
relationship to each other. The Master Commissioning Process Narrative provides more detail
regarding the activities, responsibilities, and deliverables associated with each activity in the
Commissioning Process Matrix and Flowchart. For each Matrix row and Flowchart box, there is
a corresponding narrative description. To supplement these sections, Section 7 includes
Commissioning documentation templates and examples.

6 Commissioning Activities Narratives
Preliminary Commissioning Plan
The Preliminary Commissioning Plan will focus on identifying project-specific commissioning
activities, commissioning team members, and roles and responsibilities for all team members as
part of the commissioning process. The Preliminary Commissioning Plan will be prepared by the
Facilities Management Commissioning Authority and will be incorporated into requests for
proposal for Design Team and Commissioning Manager services.
Example prefunctional checklists (PFCs) and functional performance test procedures (FPTs) will
be included in the Preliminary Commissioning Plan as appendices to demonstrate level of rigor
required of future commissioning team members.
Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR) Document
The Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR) will quantitatively define the performance and
operational requirements for the commissioned systems. These performance requirements will be
the acceptance criteria against which the systems will be judged. They will include parameters
such as temperatures, flows, pressures, moisture content, light fixture types, light levels,
warranty information requirements, central system availability/tie-in capability, electrical spare
capacity requirements, building automation system requirements, etc.
For LEED certification purposes, the OPR must include the following sections:
Owner and User Requirements
Environmental and Sustainability Goals
Energy Efficiency Goals
Indoor Environmental Quality Requirements
Equipment and System Expectations
Building Occupant and Operations and Maintenance Requirements
The Facilities Management Commissioning Authority will oversee the development of the OPR,
but critical input will be needed from the Project Manager, Occupant/User Groups, and the
Design Team.
The Commissioning Manager will maintain the OPR throughout the duration of the project,
editing as necessary to reflect American University performance expectation changes.
American University Revision 1.1
Master Commissioning Plan Page 11 March 5, 2012
Design Phase Commissioning Coordination Meetings
The Commissioning Manager will plan, facilitate and document Design Phase Commissioning
Coordination Meetings. The coordination meetings are intended to help every team member
understand and execute their roles and responsibilities within the commissioning process, to
coordinate the details of current and upcoming commissioning activities, and to review
outstanding action items.
The first meeting will be a Design Phase Commissioning Kickoff Meeting to review the specifics
of the Commissioning process, identify representatives to the Commissioning Team, and
establish communication and documentation protocols for implementing the Commissioning
process as effectively and efficiently as possible. This meeting provides an overview so that the
team understands the big picture and the benefits they will accrue by participating in the process.
Subsequent Commissioning Coordination Meetings will be held as frequently as deemed
necessary by the Commissioning Manager to remain integrated into the Design Phase process
and to coordinate Commissioning deliverables into the bid documents.
Basis of Design (BOD) Document
The Basis of Design (BOD) documents the Design Team’s approach to achieving the
requirements of the OPR. It describes the types of equipment to be used, system configurations,
systems interactions, and general operating strategies. It also documents any general rules,
philosophies, and assumptions made by the Design Team. This document will be created and
managed by the Design Team and reviewed by the Facilities Management Commissioning
Authority and the Commissioning Manager.
Throughout the life of the project, the Commissioning Manager will monitor the design
evolution and bring any deviations from the BOD to the attention to the Design Team. If changes
to the system design and operational strategies are made during the project, a final BOD will be
prepared by the Design Team at the end of construction.
Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Documentation Planning
In the Construction Phase, the Contractor will facilitate and manage the delivery of accurate,
meaningful, and timely operation and maintenance (O&M) documentation to the Facilities
Management Commissioning Authority. Planning for this will take place in the Design Phase in
order to incorporate project-customized requirements into the contract documents.
The Commissioning Manager will participate in the discussion and definition of requirements for
O&M documentation (e.g., hardcopy & electronic copy requirements, equipment O&M criteria,
planned maintenance schedules, systems manual and on-going commissioning criteria, etc.) with
the Facilities Management Commissioning Authority. The Commissioning Manager will
American University Revision 1.1
Master Commissioning Plan Page 12 March 5, 2012
coordinate with the Design Team to confirm that project specifications reflect American
University’s O&M documentation requirements.
Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Training Planning
To achieve successful operations & Maintenance (O&M) training delivery, the Facilities
Management Commissioning Authority needs to start with a well-thought-out, un-hurried
process for planning the training process. The Commissioning Manager will involve the
Facilities Management Commissioning Authority as much as possible to define what training the
Facilities Management staff needs and wants in order to understand the systems and equipment
that they will have to operate. This will involve customizing training to match the level of
experience and detail that AU Facilities Management will require for each system.
The Commissioning Manager will participate in the discussion and definition of requirements for
O&M training (e.g., differentiating between systems and equipment training; addressing levels of
training; O&M shift coordination; video recording expectations; training agenda and
documentation requirements, etc.) with the Facilities Management Commissioning Authority.
The outcome of the training planning process will be an O&M Training Plan matrix to be
included in the bid documents. The Commissioning Manager will coordinate with the Design
Team to confirm that project specifications reflect American University’s O&M training
requirements. Refer to Section 7 for a Training Plan example.
Warranty Planning
The warranty information requirements will be defined in the contract documents and will define
how the warranty information is transitioned from the Contractor to the Facilities Management
Commissioning Authority at the end of construction. The Facilities Management Commissioning
Authority and the Commissioning Manager will work with the Project Manager to define the
warranty information format which will include, at a minimum, master equipment lists; warranty
start and end dates; manufacturer contact information; extended warranty (if any) details;
planned maintenance activities required to keep equipment under warranty; etc.
The Commissioning Manager will coordinate with the Design Team to confirm that project
specifications reflect American University’s warranty requirements.
Commissioning Design Reviews
The Facilities Management Commissioning Authority, the AU Construction Manager, AU Other
Departments, and the Commissioning Manager will review the design documents at
predetermined design phase milestones (e.g., DD, 50% CD, 100% CD/Permit documents). For
LEED certification purposes, at least one commissioning design review at the 50% CD phase is
required, along with a backcheck to confirm incorporation of commissioning review comments
into the final construction documents.
American University Revision 1.1
Master Commissioning Plan Page 13 March 5, 2012
The Commissioning Manager will review the design drawings and specifications for the
following commissioning-related items:
Compliance with the Owner’s Project Requirements.
Clarity of the design.
Clear integration requirements between equipment and systems
Equipment accessibility and maintainability.
Ability to test and validate system operation.
O&M Documentation, Training, and Warranty details
Comments will be categorized as follows:
Critical: Issues which in the Commissioning Manager’s professional opinion are
related to a system’s ability to achieve the Owner’s Project Requirements performance
criteria.
Question: Requests for clarification of intent.
Suggestion: Design features which can meet the Owner’s Project Requirements but for
which the Commissioning Manager has a recommendation for improved efficiency,
increased reliability, and/or lower life cycle cost.
Coordination: Although a commissioning review is not a coordination review, the
Commissioning Manager will note coordination items noticed during the course of the
commissioning review.
Along with the Commissioning Manager’s comments, the Commissioning Manager will collect
and consolidate comments from the Facilities Management Commissioning Authority and AU
Other Departments.
The Design Team will respond in writing to each of the comments provided. Refer to Section 7
for the Document Review Template.
Preliminary Prefunctional Checklists & Functional Performance Tests
The Commissioning Manager will prepare preliminary prefunctional checklists and functional
performance test procedures for the systems to be commissioned based on the design documents.
There shall be one prefunctional checklist and one functional performance test procedure for
each commissioned system.
These preliminary documents should be included in the Final Commissioning Plan and
incorporated into the bid documents to demonstrate anticipated level of rigor to the Contractor. If
project-specific prefunctional checklists and functional performance test procedures cannot be
developed, sample documents for similar system types will suffice.
Refer to Section 7 for examples of both Prefunctional Checklists and Functional Performance
Test Procedures. These examples are intended to communicate format and level of rigor. The
actual project checklists and test procedures will be customized to match the final design
requirements for each system.
American University Revision 1.1
Master Commissioning Plan Page 14 March 5, 2012
Final Commissioning Plan
The Commissioning Manager will prepare the Final Commissioning Plan, building on and
editing the Preliminary Commissioning Plan to reflect the project at the end of the Design Phase.
The systems to be commissioned section will be refined to represent the quantity and types of
systems in the final construction documents. Sampling strategies pertaining to the functional
performance testing will be detailed in the Final Commissioning Plan. The Final Commissioning
Plan will be incorporated into the bid documents by reference.
Commissioning Specification
The Commissioning Manager will prepare a Commissioning Specification to be included in the
construction documents. The Commissioning Specification will detail the Contractor’s
responsibilities (as outlined in the Final Commissioning Plan) during the Construction,
Acceptance, and Warranty Phases of the project. The Design Team will incorporate the
Commissioning Specification into the Division 1 specification section.
The Commissioning Specification will include, but not be limited to commissioning-related
scheduling; submittal management; prefunctional checklists; functional performance testing;
O&M and systems manuals; O&M and systems training; as-built drawings; and warranty
management. Furthermore, the Commissioning Specification will include language defining
incentive program(s), if applicable, established to encourage Contractor readiness for functional
performance testing.
The Commissioning Manager will recommend coordination language to be included in other
Design Team specification sections that will direct the Contractors’ attention to the Division 1
Commissioning Specification for required commissioning activities. The Design Team will
incorporate, as they deem appropriate, the coordination language into their respective
specification sections.
American University Revision 1.1
Master Commissioning Plan Page 15 March 5, 2012
Construction Phase Commissioning Coordination Meetings
The Commissioning Manager will plan, facilitate and document Construction Phase
Commissioning Coordination Meetings. The coordination meetings are intended to help every
team member understand and execute their roles and responsibilities within the commissioning
process, to coordinate the details of current and upcoming commissioning activities, and to
review outstanding action items.
The first meeting will be a Construction Phase Commissioning Kickoff Meeting to review the
specifics of the Commissioning process, identify new representatives to the Commissioning
Team, and establish communication and documentation protocols for implementing the
Commissioning process as efficiently and effectively as possible. This meeting provides an
overview so that the team understands the big picture and the benefits they will accrue by
participating in the process.
Subsequent Commissioning Coordination Meetings will be held as frequently as deemed
necessary by the Commissioning Manager to remain integrated into the Construction Phase
process. Frequency will vary throughout the construction as the Commissioning process
requirements vary depending on what is happening on the construction site.
Commissioning Scheduling
There will not be a separate commissioning schedule. The Contractor will be required to
incorporate commissioning activities into the master construction schedule. The Commissioning
Manager will assist the Contractor, as needed, to understand the relationship between
construction and commissioning activities. The Facilities Management Commissioning
Authority will regularly review the master construction schedule in order to coordinate the
availability of Facilities Management staff for critical commissioning activities.
Master construction schedule commissioning milestones will include, but not be limited to,
O&M manual submissions; training agenda submissions; training delivery; prefunctional
checklist completion; functional performance testing; system manual and on-going
commissioning plan submissions; as-built drawing submissions; and the warranty information
hand-off. Some of the activities may require multiple milestones due to some systems following
a different construction schedule than others.
Submittal Reviews
The Commissioning Manager will identify submittals associated with systems to be
commissioned that need to be reviewed by the Commissioning Manager and Facilities
Management staff. The Facilities Management Commissioning Authority, AU Other
Departments, and the Commissioning Manager will review the submittals concurrent with the
Design Team.
American University Revision 1.1
Master Commissioning Plan Page 16 March 5, 2012
The Contractor will send copies of the selected submittals to the Facilities Management
Commissioning Authority and to the Commissioning Manager simultaneous with issuing them to
the Design Team for review. The Facilities Management and AU Other Departments reviewers
will submit their comments to the Commissioning Manager who will consolidate all comments
and forward them to the Design Team. The Design team will incorporate the commissioning
comments, at their discretion, into their formal submittal review responses to the Contractor. The
Design Team will provide written responses to each submittal review comment to the
Commissioning Manager.
Commissioning submittal review comments will focus on the same areas as the commissioning
design reviews (e.g. compliance with the OPR, clarity of the design, integration coordination,
accessibility and maintainability, O&M training and documentation requirements, and the ability
to test and validate system operation). Refer to Section 7 for the Document Review Template.
The Commissioning Manager and Facilities Management Commissioning Authority will be
given access to all approved submittals after processing by the Design Team.
Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Manual Reviews
Early submission of the O&M manuals will help ensure they are complete and approved prior to
the start of the AU Facilities Management staff training. The manuals will serve a critical part of
the training program.
The Commissioning Manager will identify O&M manuals associated with systems to be
commissioned that need to be reviewed by the Commissioning Manager and Facilities
Management staff. The Facilities Management reviewers will submit their comments to the
Commissioning Manager who will consolidate all comments and forward them to the
Contractors.
O&M Training Agenda Reviews
Each training session - represented by a row in the Training Plan (refer to Section 7 for a
Training Plan example) - will have a Training Agenda. The Training Agenda requires specific
detailed information about the content of its respective session. The agenda will be completed by
the Contractor responsible for the training session and will be reviewed by the Facilities
Management Commissioning Authority and the Commissioning Manager. The Facilities
Management reviewers will submit their comments to the Commissioning Manager who will
consolidate all comments and forward them to the Contractors.
During delivery of the O&M training sessions, each approved Training Agenda form will be
used to document attendees of the training session and to formalize American University’s
acceptance of the training.
American University Revision 1.1
Master Commissioning Plan Page 17 March 5, 2012
System Training Planning
Whereas the O&M Training sessions will pertain to individual pieces of equipment, the Systems
Training sessions will focus on how those components are uniquely put together as systems for
the project. The Commissioning Manager will facilitate the development of a Systems Training
program. The purpose of this training will be to present all of the commissioned systems; their
design intent; schematic diagrams; sequences of operation; integration with other systems; and
areas of the building served by the systems.
Although facilitated by the Commissioning Manager, Systems Training will be a collaborative
effort between the Design Team, the Contractors, and the Commissioning Manager; each
delivering their area of expertise for each system.
Systems training planning will require defining the type and level of training required for the
systems; number of sessions; video recording expectations; training agenda; and
presentation/documentation materials. The Commissioning Manager will compile Systems
Training presentation materials from documents submitted by the Design Team and the
Construction Team.
Occupant Training Planning
With an understanding that some building systems require certain behaviors from building
occupants and system users in order to perform as intended, the Commissioning Manager will
facilitate the development of an Occupant Training program. The Occupant Training program
will introduce, in appropriately technical terms for the occupants, the systems impacting the
occupied spaces. The training will also present the various ways in which the occupants may be
able to influence system performance (i.e., opening doors and windows, adjusting thermostats,
introducing space heaters, moving furniture, overriding occupancy sensors, etc.) and establish
ground rules for building occupant behavior.
Training planning will require defining the type and level of training required for the project;
future occupant coordination; video recording expectations; training agenda; and
presentation/documentation materials.
Final Prefunctional Checklists & Trend Log Specifications
The Commissioning Manager will finalize Prefunctional Checklists (PFCs) customized for each
system to be commissioned after reviewing approved submittals, requests for information,
change orders, supplemental instructions, and other construction phase modifications and/or
additions. The Commissioning Manager will issue final PFCs to the Facilities Management
Commissioning Authority for review and comment. Upon incorporation of accepted Facilities
Management Commissioning Authority comments, the Commissioning Manager will issue final
PFCs for completion and sign-off by the Contractor during final system checkout.
The PFCs shall be used to document that key system-level installation, startup, programming,
coordination, integration, and testing activities have been completed. These are not contractor
American University Revision 1.1
Master Commissioning Plan Page 18 March 5, 2012
quality control checklists for each piece of equipment but system-level confirmation of readiness
for the system’s Functional Performance Test. The General Contractor will be responsible for
overseeing the completion of the checklists by the Subcontractors, because each system typically
requires the participation of multiple Subcontractors to be complete and ready for testing.
Examples of Prefunctional Checklist items include, but are not limited to, pipe pressure testing;
duct air leakage testing; electrical wiring; major equipment startup; variable frequency drive
setup; controls point-to-point checkout; controls programming; test, adjust, and balance
completion and issues resolution; successful completion of the contractor-only dry run of the
Functional Performance Test, etc.
PFCs for systems controlled and /or monitored by central campus energy management system
(EMS) include a requirement that building automation system graphics screen is complete,
points have been properly mapped to the central EMS, and AU Facilities Management personnel
have access to view system status and operation.
PFCs for systems controlled and/or monitored by the building automation system also include
requirements for building automation system trend logs to be programmed prior to the start of
Functional Performance Testing. These requirements will include the points to be trended, the
frequency of the trends, and the points to be included together on color graphic trend logs when
submitted for review.
Final Functional Performance Tests
The Commissioning Manager will finalize Functional Performance Test Procedures (FPTs) for
each system to be commissioned after reviewing approved submittals, requests for information,
change orders, supplemental instructions, and other construction phase modifications and/or
additions. The following are the minimum requirements for American University FPTs:
Step-by-Step Script
FPTs should dictate a chronological list of steps to be followed. The steps should be
scripted in an efficient manner, minimizing the level of redundancy between steps as
much as practical. The intent of testing is to demonstrate performance of each mode of
system operation as effectively and efficiently as possible.
Repeatable
Although the Commissioning Manager will develop and oversee the execution of FPTs
when they are implemented at the end of construction, the test procedures are required to
be designed to be referenced by future Facilities Management staff for recommissioning
purposes. As such, the test procedures should be designed to stand alone and be
understood by reasonably knowledgeable building operations personnel without the
Commissioning Manager’s involvement.
American University Revision 1.1
Master Commissioning Plan Page 19 March 5, 2012
The action required for each step should not be open to interpretation in the field. For
example, a step that reads, “Put the system into economizer mode,” does not explain how
that should be done. The Commissioning Manager should define whether that should be
accomplished by overriding outdoor air inputs, overriding return air inputs, changing
setpoints, overriding the economizer mode software point, or some other method
appropriate for the system and sequence being tested. Given the differences between
building automation systems and their programming, a systems’ reaction is likely to vary
depending on how the action is performed. To the greatest extent practical, this needs to
be understood by the Commissioning Manager prior to the start of field testing.
Unambiguous Pass/Fail Acceptance Criteria
For each step of the test procedure, there should be a pass/fail definition of acceptable
response. This typically is a description of how each device in a system is designed to
react to the scripted action imposed on the system.
In the interest of field testing efficiency, the acceptance criteria should be clearly defined
in terms that everyone in the field can understand and agree on. Valves and dampers
should “open” or “close;” fans and pumps shall “start” or “stop;” modulating devices
shall “modulate higher” or “modulate lower.” Simply stating that the system should
respond “as specified,” is not acceptable in an FPT procedure.
Customized
Each test procedure must reflect the final design and approved shop drawings for the
unique systems in each project. There should be nothing “not applicable” in a project’s
FPT, i.e., if a step or reaction is not applicable, it should be removed from the procedure.
Sampling Strategies
The Contractor can employ a sampling strategy to functionally test a fraction of the total
number of non-life safety or non-critical equipment that are identical or near identical
pieces of equipment (e.g., terminal units, occupancy sensors, exhaust fans, etc.). The
sampling strategy must be well-defined and approved by AU Facilities during the Design
Phase and documented in the Final Commissioning Plan and the Commissioning
Specification. The sampling strategy must define the applicable project-specific
equipment, the percent of randomly selected equipment to be tested, the failure rate
threshold, and recourse plan if excessive failures are discovered.
The Mechanical, Electrical, TAB, and Controls Contractors will review and comment on the
efficiency and safety of the proposed test steps, and the Facilities Management Commissioning
Authority will review for completeness and rigor. The Commissioning Manager will incorporate
Facilities Management Commissioning Authority’s and the Contractors’ recommendations as
appropriate. It is the review activity that helps prevent surprises in the field on test day. Upon
incorporation of the accepted Facilities Management Commissioning Authority and Contractor
American University Revision 1.1
Master Commissioning Plan Page 20 March 5, 2012
comments, the Commissioning Manager will issue final FPTs for use in the system functional
performance testing process.
Refer to Section 7 for examples of both Prefunctional Checklists and Functional Performance
Test Procedures. These examples are intended to communicate format and level of rigor. The
actual project checklists and test procedures will be customized to match the final design
requirements for each system.
American University Revision 1.1
Master Commissioning Plan Page 21 March 5, 2012
Acceptance Phase Commissioning Coordination Meetings
The Commissioning Manager will plan, facilitate and document Acceptance Phase
Commissioning Coordination Meetings. These meetings will be heavily focused on system
readiness for Functional Performance Testing and scheduling of that testing. Acceptance Phase
Commissioning Coordination Meetings will be held as frequently as deemed necessary by the
Commissioning Manager to keep the Commissioning process on track for completion prior to
Substantial Completion.
Test, Adjust, and Balance (TAB) Report Review
The TAB Contractor will prepare a balancing report documenting that all air and hydronic
systems have been adjusted and are within acceptable design values. The Facilities Management
Commissioning Authority and the Commissioning Manager will review the report submitted by
the TAB Contractor, concurrent with the Design Team as the TAB Contractor completes work
on individual systems (i.e., not all systems need to be balanced before the reporting process
begins). The Commissioning Manager will verify that all required data has been collected, that
the measured results are in compliance with the design documents, and that any non-compliance
items have been resolved and rebalanced prior to the start of Functional Performance Testing.
The Facilities Management reviewers will submit their comments to the Commissioning
Manager who will consolidate all comments and forward them to the Design Team. The Design
team will address these comments, incorporating them as appropriate into their formal TAB
report review response to the Contractor. The Design Team will provide written responses to
each TAB report review comment to the Commissioning Manager.
Refer to Section 7 for an example of the Document Review Template.
Systems Training Delivery
The Commissioning Manager will facilitate the scheduling of Systems Training with the
Facilities Management Commissioning Authority, the Design Team, and the Construction Team.
The training events will be coordinated for the convenience of the trainees, i.e., between shifts,
manageable amounts of training at a time to accommodate trainees’ other responsibilities, etc.
The Commissioning Manager will lead the Systems Training sessions with most agenda items
presented by members of the Design Team and Construction Team.
The Facilities Management Commissioning Authority will schedule and coordinate the video
recording of the Systems Training sessions with American University resources.
American University Revision 1.1
Master Commissioning Plan Page 22 March 5, 2012
O&M Training Delivery
After the Training Agendas have been reviewed and accepted by the Facilities Management
Commissioning Authority, the Commissioning Manager will convene a meeting with the
Contractors and the Facilities Management Commissioning Authority to schedule the individual
O&M Training sessions. The training events will be coordinated for the convenience of the
trainees, i.e., between shifts, small amounts of training at a time to accommodate trainees’ other
responsibilities, etc. Training will be concurrent with equipment start-up by the Contractor.
The Contractor will formally document each training session and the acceptance of the training.
Documentation of Facilities Management acceptance will require that someone representing the
trainees formally and in writing accept each training session as complying with that session’s
Training Agenda. The Commissioning Manager will collect this documentation in the form of
fully executed Training Agendas and include them as part of the Final Commissioning Report.
The Facilities Management Commissioning Authority will schedule and coordinate the video
recording of the O&M Training sessions with American University resources.
Prefunctional Checklists Completion
The prefunctional checklists are used to document that the systems are fully installed, connected,
started-up, programmed, integrated and have successfully passed their respective Functional
Performance Tests in a contractor-only dry run. Fully executed Prefunctional Checklists are the
Contractor’s validation that the systems are ready for successful Functional Performance Testing
witnessed by Facilities Management and the Commissioning Manager. The Prefunctional
Checklists will be documented in writing by personnel representing the responsible Contractors;
multiple Subcontractors will need to sign-off on each system’s checklist.
These checklists are primarily inspections and procedures to prepare the equipment or system for
initial operation (e.g., oil levels, fan belt tension, labels affixed, gauges in place, sensor
calibration, etc.). However, some checklist items entail simple testing of a component, a piece of
equipment or system (such as measuring the voltage imbalance on a three phase pump motor of a
chiller system). Each piece of equipment is to receive full checkout by the Contractors. No
sampling strategies will be permitted.
All building automation system trend logs required for a system must be programmed and
collecting data before the PFCs are completed and submitted by the Contractors.
Functional Performance Test Plans
The Commissioning Manager will prepare and distribute Functional Performance Test Plans
prior to the start of Functional Performance Testing. This will allow the Construction Team to
review the proposed testing schedule; to understand which test procedures will be conducted
during a specific testing period; to schedule the appropriate people to be in attendance for each
test; and to verify that the necessary equipment is available when testing begins.
American University Revision 1.1
Master Commissioning Plan Page 23 March 5, 2012
The Facilities Management Commissioning Authority will schedule Facilities Management staff
to participate in and witness Functional Performance Testing based on the schedule outlined in
each Test Plan.
Functional Performance Testing
Functional Performance Testing is the technical culmination of the Commissioning process for
systems acceptance by the Facilities Management Commissioning Authority and should be
performed prior to Substantial Completion.
The Commissioning Manager will field-direct, witness, and document the Functional
Performance Test Procedure (FPT) for each system to be commissioned. Although the
Commissioning Manager directs the tests, the Contractors will manipulate the systems and
controls in accordance with the FPTs reviewed and accepted by all team members before the
start of testing. The Facilities Management representatives will witness and participate in the
Functional Performance Testing, as determined by Facilities Management, to understand how the
systems operate and how optimal performance can be maintained.
Trend Log Review
The Contractor will download and submit electronic trend data to the Commissioning Manager
for review at a time scheduled by the Facilities Management Commissioning Authority and the
Commissioning Manager. This may be prior to the start of Functional Performance Testing,
immediately following Functional Performance Testing, or after occupancy.
The trend data will be submitted in editable spreadsheet format and in color graphs designed as
specified in the Prefunctional Checklist for each affected system.
Any trend logs demonstrating performance not meeting the construction document requirements
will be re-run, following remediation of the problems, and re-submitted to the Commissioning
Manager for review.
Commissioning Action List
The Commissioning Manager will maintain a Commissioning Action List - starting in the Design
Phase and continuing through the Warranty Phase - to track the status of all Commissioning-
related items. The Commissioning Action List includes process-related and technical-related
issues associated with successful completion of the Commissioning process.
For each deficiency found during Functional Performance Testing, the Commissioning Manager
will add the item to the Commissioning Action List. The Commissioning Action List is the
vehicle for communicating, tracking, and documenting the status and correction of each
deficiency.
The Commissioning Manager shares the Commissioning Action List with the Contractors who
inform the Commissioning Manager in writing upon correction of each problem with an
American University Revision 1.1
Master Commissioning Plan Page 24 March 5, 2012
explanation of what was done to resolve the issue. If the Functional Performance Test
demonstrates a system performs as designed but does not meet the OPR criteria for that system,
the associated Commissioning Action List item will be assigned to the Design Team to engage
them in the issue resolution process.
Upon notification of the completion of a Commissioning Action Item, the Commissioning
Manager will schedule re-testing for the affected system to verify satisfactory resolution of the
deficiency.
Refer to Section 7 for the Commissioning Action List template.
Functional Performance Re-Testing
The Commissioning Manager will field-direct, witness, and document Functional Performance
Re-Testing for each system that failed to pass its initial FPT. For systems tested with a sampling
strategy, as defined in the Final Functional Performance Test Procedures, additional samples will
need to be tested during re-testing if the failures of the initial sample exceed the failure rate
threshold.
The extent and level of rigor of retesting will be as the Commissioning Manager deems
necessary to confirm successful resolution of the initial deficiencies without sacrificing
performance elements which had originally passed the system FPT.
Although the Commissioning Manager directs the re-tests, the Contractors will manipulate the
systems and controls. Facilities Management representatives will witness and participate in the
Functional Performance Re-Testing as determined by Facilities Management.
American University Revision 1.1
Master Commissioning Plan Page 25 March 5, 2012
Warranty Information Hand-off
The Contractor and the AU Construction Manager will provide warranty information to the
Facilities Management Commissioning Authority for the commissioned systems. The warranty
information will be transferred prior to Substantial Completion and will include, but not be
limited to, master equipment list; warranty start and end dates; manufacturer contact information;
extended warranty (if any) details; planned maintenance activities required to keep equipment
under warranty; etc. The Facilities Management Commissioning Authority will review and
approve the warranty information submitted at the end of construction for compliance with the
specifications.
Occupant Training Delivery
The Commissioning Manager will facilitate the scheduling and delivery of Occupant Training
with the Facilities Management Commissioning Authority and representatives of the building
occupants. The training events will be coordinated for the convenience of the trainees, i.e.,
between shifts, manageable amounts of training at a time to accommodate trainees’ other
responsibilities, etc.
The Commissioning Manager will lead the Occupant Training sessions with participation by the
Facilities Management Commissioning Authority.
The Facilities Management Commissioning Authority will schedule and coordinate the video
recording of the Occupant Training sessions with American University resources.
Deferred Testing
Functional Performance Tests (FPTs) may need to be deferred until after Substantial Completion
for a variety of reasons. The most common reasons include (1) HVAC systems may need to have
different weather conditions than those at the end of construction and (2) commissioned systems
may need to have a load put on them before testing can be considered meaningful. FPTs that
occur after Substantial Completion will be conducted, documented, and tracked in a manner
identical to the Acceptance Phase process.
As-Built Documentation Review
The AU Construction Manager will provide the Facilities Management Commissioning
Authority with as-built documentation including, but not limited to, (1) record installation
drawings and (2) the final building automation system controls manual. The as-built building
automation system controls manual will include the final “as commissioned” system schematics,
sequences of operations, setpoints, and alarm limits.
These documents will be reviewed by the Commissioning Manager and Facilities Management
staff. The Facilities Management reviewers will submit their comments to the Commissioning
American University Revision 1.1
Master Commissioning Plan Page 26 March 5, 2012
Manager who will consolidate all comments and forward them to the AU Construction Manager
for resolution by the Design and Construction Teams.
Commissioning Report
Following resolution and/or acceptance of all Commissioning Action Items, the Commissioning
Manager will prepare the Commissioning Report. The report will be a compilation of
documentation (both technical and process-related) associated with the Commissioning process.
It will be prefaced with an Executive Summary documenting the final system status compared to
the Owner’s Project Requirements document.
The Commissioning Report will include at least the following sections:

& On-Going Commissioning Plan along with assigned roles and responsibilities for project team
members to produce the various elements of the document. These requirements will be
incorporated into the Commissioning Specification and included in the bid documents.
During the Construction Phase, the Commissioning Manager, Design Team, and Construction
Team will prepare a preliminary schedule of when each element will be submitted to the
Commissioning Manager over the course of the project.
The Commissioning Manager will submit the Systems Manual & On-Going Commissioning
Plan to the Facilities Management Commissioning Authority for review.
Warranty Phase Check-up & Meeting
No later than 2 month before the end of the Warranty Phase, a warranty meeting will be planned,
facilitated, and documented by the Commissioning Manager. This meeting is an opportunity for
Facilities Management and other AU Department representatives to provide feedback on the
effectiveness and efficiency of the new equipment and systems. The Design Team and
Construction Team are required to participate in the warranty meeting.
The Facilities Management Commissioning Authority will oversee the collection of operations
issues, concerns, challenges, etc., throughout the Warranty Phase in order for the warranty
meeting to be as comprehensive and meaningful as practical.
Information received by the Design Team and Construction Team will be used to track and
correct warranty-related issues; to contribute to future Owner's Project Requirements documents;
and to refine American University’s project delivery process.
