Standards Development

Scope

This document addresses the development of a building commissioning plan for new construction, major renovations, or system and assembly replacement projects. The commissioning plan incorporates commissioning activities which begin during early project stages, and continue through pre-design, design, construction, turnover and the first year of operation. The commissioning plan shall cover these later stages, although it is first developed during the design stage.

The commissioning plan presents the intended process to verify and document that the quality of the built project in operation meets the requirements of the owner. This document provides an overarching process for planning of commissioning any aspect of a building project and is intended for use with system or discipline specific standards. This standard does not include retro-commissioning or recommissioning in existing buildings.
