The Five Phase approach to commissioning.

LEVEL 1 — Designing Phase

Develop detailed and comprehensive commissioning specifications and design critique as it pertains to commissioning.

LEVEL 2 — Construction PHASE

Review and coordinate the application of the testing plan through the observation and documentation of all equipment and systems, ensuring function complies with the facility’s systems requirements, objectives, and all contract documents.

LEVEL 3 — Acceptance-Testing Phase

Provide on-site testing, commissioning, and performance testing. This is the most critical phase in the commissioning process. Capacity test critical equipment such as chillers, air handling units, boilers, and pumping systems. Test for internal failures, recovery, and the annunciation of alarms and abnormal conditions.

LEVEL 4 — Integrated System Testing

The interaction between the building systems with one another shall be demonstrated under both normal and abnormal operating conditions. We will validate how the site infrastructure, such as chillers, pumping systems, heating plant, air handlers, and electrical systems will likely perform over the next 60.months.

LEVEL 5 — Warranty Phase

Provide one year of functional retesting of all equipment and systems within the commissioning contract. Revisit any outstanding issues in accordance with the original and seasonal commissioning and facilitate required opposite season/deferred testing and deficiency corrections. Incorporate final testing results, documentation, and reports into the existing commissioning record as well as the current O&M manuals. Provide a retro-commissioning plan of systems for future implementation.
