Objectives
The objective of commissioning is to provide documented confirmation that a
facility fulfills the functional and performance requirements of GSA, occupants
and operators. To reach this goal, it is necessary for the commissioning process
to establish and document Owner's Project Requirements, which are criteria
for system function, performance, and maintainability (design intent); and to
also verify and document compliance with these criteria throughout design,
construction, start-up, and the initial period of operation. In addition, complete
operation and maintenance (O&M) manuals, as well as training on system
operation, shall be provided to the building operators to ensure the building
continues to operate as intended.
The CxA shall be involved throughout the project from design development through
the warranty phase. The primary role of the CxA during the overall Design Stage
is to review the design to ensure it meets GSA objectives and develop detailed
commissioning specifications. During construction, the CxA coordinates the
execution of a testing plan, which includes observing and documenting all
systems' performance to ensure that the systems are functioning in accordance
