Commissioning is a process that documents the owner’s requirements, and how the engineer met the owner’s requirements.

 

Commissioning facilitates communication between Owner, Architect, Engineer and Contractor, thus reducing change orders during construction.

 

Commissioning verifies that the contractor installs and test the systems thus reducing post-occupancy issues.

 

Commissioning documents the testing procedures and results for future reference in maintaining the system at optimum performance levels.

 

Commissioning verifies and documents the training of maintenance staff which allows the systems to be maintained even with maintenance staff turnovers.
