2.) Design
3.) Construction
4.) Acceptance
5.) Post-Acceptance
Studies indicate _ to _% savings in building operating costs when comparing a
comissioned building to a non-commissioned building.

What is commissioning?
A process of documentation, adjustment, testing, verification, and training performed
specifically to ensure that the finished facility operates in accordance with the owner's
documented project requirements and the construction documents. Commissioning
serves the owner's best interests by delivering a facility with systems that perform as
specified, intended, and paid for.
What does DID mean and provide a brief definition?
Design Intent Document - Details functional requirements and Owner's expectations of
how a building will be used and operated - Owner's Project Requirements
What does BOD mean and provide a brief definition?
Basis of Design - The concepts, calculations, decisions, and product selections used to
meet the Owner's Project Requirements.
Designer's (A/E) services typically (do or do not) include field verification that their
design works as intended.
Do NOT
Construction Manager's services typically (do or do not) include functional verification
that the installed systems meet design intent.
Do NOT
The CxA has a distinct responsibility to who?
The Owner
The CxA is not just another layer of inspection, but a catalyst for?
Communication that makes quality solutions possible.
The CxA (is or is not) an inspector.
Is NOT

What is ASHRAE Guideline 1 - 1996 titled?
The HVAC Commissioning Process
What is ASHRAE Guideline 1.1 - 2007 titled?
HVAC&R Technical Requirements for the Commissioning Process
What is ASHRAE Guideline 0 - 2005 titled?
The Commissioning Process
What is the ACG Commissioning Guideline?
Developed by the Associated Air Balance Council (AABC). It is useful for owners,
designers, and constructors but is intended for training Cx providers. It defines the five
(5) phases of the commissioning process. It educates about the Cx process, provides
standard methodologies for Cx, and introduces a program for certifying qualified Cx
providers.
What is the purpose of ASHRAE Guideline 0?
To describe the commissioning process capable of verifying that a facility and its
systems meet the Owner's Project Requirements.
What is the purpose of ASHRAE Guideline 1.1?
To describe the technical requirements for the application of the commissioning process
described in ASHRAE Guideline 0 that will verify that the HVAC&R systems achieve the
Owner's Project Requirements.
Indicate a few items that the OPR would address (10 listed).
1.) Program requirements
2.) Community context
3.) Codes and regulations
4.) Site and climate
5.) Facility context and function
6.) Facility technology
7.) Sustainability
8.) Cost
9.) Schedule
10.) Client's needs and capabilities
