Abstract:
The ACG Building Systems Commissioning Guideline is here, composed of best practice narratives written by ACG members for application of the independent 3rd-party building systems commissioning process. Practical guidance offers professional insights and strategies on provider topics, from system specific Cx deliverables, to managing teams and directing resources, to marketing and preparing requests for services.
Responding as a leader to industry demand for standardization of building systems commissioning across provider organizations, ACG utilizes ASHRAE Standard 202-2018 – Commissioning Process for Buildings and Systems as the baseline process and terminology reference. In affiliation with ASHRAE Standing Standard Project Committee SSPC 300 – Commissioning to support consistent interpretation of Standard 202 and the associated ASHRAE commissioning guidelines (0, 0.2, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5) as well as Commissioning Stakeholder’s Guide, The Strategic Guide to Commissioning and Commissioning Definitions and Terminology for the Building Industry: A Common Overview.
Standards are consensus documents from a cross-section of industry stakeholders and as such represent the common denominator commissioning process agreed upon by the authors. ACG elevates baseline commissioning by championing independent providers directly advocating for building owners and occupant agencies utilizing process enhancements such as defined elements and clear guidance on execution of process deliverables. For example, ASHRAE Standard 202 requires commissioning meetings. The ACG Building Systems Commissioning Guideline defines various types of potential meetings, recommendations for organizing, conducting, scheduling and documenting meetings and commenting on the efficacy of commissioning strategies associated with meetings.
Like a Commissioning Plan, the ACG Building Systems Commissioning Guideline is a living evolving resource launched on a commercial digital platform with the flexibility to incorporate advancements and make corrections in response to reader feedback. The guideline as a digital resource is intended for ongoing updates and frequent expansion of content intended to help providers accomplish commissioning services in real-time under actual field conditions.
Digital technology efficiently supports numerous aspects of publishing such as document organization, reader statistics, monetization options, blogging, marketing, and many other association member advantages.
