Critical Facilities New Construction Commissioning and Existing Building Commissioning

This presentation will explore the fundamentals of new construction (Cx) and existing building commissioning (EBCx) for critical facilities.  The initial topic covered will be the introduction to commissioning as defined by ASHRAE Guideline lines and Standards.  This will be followed by a review of the challenges with bidding Cx and EBCx projects and real world guidance on how to bid and select commissioning firms for projects. The process for Cx will be broken down into a step by step flow with details and examples provided at each step.  Case studies will be presented for Cx projects with best practices, lessons learned and some specific benefits produced by following the ASHRAE Commissioning Process.  The process for EBCx will also be detailed and new case studies presented to demonstrate the need for maintaining a buildings edge over time with ASHRAEs suite of Commissioning Guidelines and Standards.
