The 5 Phases of Commissioning
Delivering Level V Commissioning has earned sys-teka strong reputation for successfully Commissioning and Retro-Commissioning all types of buildings and facilities. We invented the term Level V commissioning to provide a visable breakdown of commissioning based on project needs and Owner desires knowing that there is just not ONE stamp that fits every project. The breakdown for the five levels of commissioning include:
LEVEL 1 - design phase: Develop detailed and comprehensive commissioning specifications and critique of design as it pertains to commissioning. Scope of work includes:
LEVEL 2 - construction phase: Review and coordinate the application of the testing plan through the observation and documentation of all equipment and systems ensuring function complies with the facilities project systems requirements objectives and all contract documents. Scope of work generally includes:
LEVEL 3 - Acceptance testing: Providing on-site testing, commissioning and performance testing. This is the most critical phase in the commissioning process. Capacity test critical equipment such as chillers, air handling units, boilers and pumping systems. Includes testing internal failures and recovery tests, and reporting and annunciation of alarms and abnormal conditions.
Level 4 - Integrated System Testing: At this level, the interaction between the building systems with one another shall be demonstrated under both normal and abnormal operating conditions.Under this level of commissioning we will validate how the site infrastructure, such as chillers, pumping systems, heating plant, air handlers and electrical systems will likely perform as a system over the next 60 months.
Level 5 - Warranty Phase One year functional retesting of all equipment & systems within the commissioning contract. Re-visit any outstanding issues in accordance with the original and seasonal commissioning. Facilitate the required opposite season or deferred testing and deficiency corrections. Final testing results, documentation, and reports shall be incorporated in to the existing Commissioning Record as well as the current O&M manuals. Provide a retro-commissioning plan of systems for future implementation.
