Commissioning Resources, Inc. will follow the NEBB Commissioning process with a field oriented hands on approch. We work closely with the design team, project managers and building owners insuring a successful project. We have the knowledge of control strategies, operation, maintenance and the installation of the HVAC systems. We are a field intensive company; our engineers and technicians have practical field experience, and are proficient in communication and documentation skills. Our approach is to review the project design objectives for the building systems to be commissioned, maintained and operated by using our NEBB guidelines and training. We provide a single point of contact for the owner to deal with these complex systems. Beginning with the design phase to building training and turnover, all work performed is per the National Environment Balancing Bureau Standard.

Team Organization

Team project manager will be responsible for coordinating commissioning responsibilities with General Contractor, and owner’s representative. Team project manager will be a single point of contact, avoiding miscommunication, allowing proper flow of information.

Proposed Scheduling

Project scheduling will be set up and conform to owner’s representative deadlines. A project schedule can be set up with the General Contractor before the commissioning team kick-off meeting. This will allow all sub-contractors, commissioning authority and owners representative to see what time line goals need to be met as well as individual trade responsibilities.

Integrating Approach

In order to minimize potential time delays related to the design and construction process, a structured pre-construction design phase commissioning plan will be implemented. During the pre-construction, design phase commissioning, system and component evaluations will take place. The commissioning authority will evaluate each system and component for its commission ability, operability, maintainability and compliance to standard industry quality practices. This plan of action will allow for potential time-consuming problems to be addressed before the start of construction.

Team work and cooperation

Prior to the start of construction, a commissioning kick-off meeting will take place. The general contractor and associated project team subcontractors will attend along with the owner’s representative and commissioning authority project manager. The commissioning kick-off meeting will outline what the commissioning authority responsibilities will be. As well as all of the participating subcontractor team members. This process will allow team members to have questions answered before commissioning work starts, therefore, facilitating an organized plan, minimizing adverse relationships.

Appropriate level of Commissioning

The main goal of commissioning systems is to prove the functionality and performance of the systems, as well as meeting the owner’s needs. In order to prove functionality of systems, an outlined systematic process will be implemented (commissioning plan); different systems require various levels of commissioning to prove system performance and functionality. Therefore, after the design review process is completed, the commissioning plan will be set up, at this time, it will be determined what level of commissioning will be implemented. This flexibility allows the commissioning process to suite project budgets, while receiving the benefits of commissioning.
