Scope

This course material can be used in the process of commissioning mechanical systems in facilities. The commissioning process applies to all phases of a facility’s life-cycle including program, design, construction, acceptance, post-acceptance phases and training of O & M staff, and can be applied throughout the life of the building. This course applies to assessment/testing of new construction (i.e., commissioning), reassessment/retesting of existing facilities, or facilities modified or fitted with new equipment (i.e., re- commissioning), and also to assessment/testing of operating facilities which were not commissioned when new (i.e., retro-commissioning).

The requirements of this course are predominantly for testing systems. It is assumed that detailed/comprehensive individual testing of equipment has been completed.
