Extracted Content

(600 tons, or 2,110 kW), provide a remotely accessible FDD system that addresses at least 60% weighted by capacity of:

• Air-handling equipment AND

• Large hydronic or commercial refrigeration equipment (chillers, boilers, etc.).

The FDD system must be able to:

• Perform smart analytics and visually present FDD data.

• Direct link from reported fault to view relevant trend data.

• Sort and filter faults.

• Export fault reports (summary reports and detailed individual faults).

• Act as a data historian capable of storing critical trend data for at least three years.

REQUIREMENTS EXPLAINED

The credit rewards projects that provide commissioning beyond the EAp3: Fundamental Commissioning requirements. Option 1 requires early engagement of a CxP to lead a comprehensive commissioning process spanning from pre-design through the warranty period.

Option 2 requires the implementation of a MBCx process that verifies ongoing performance post-occupancy leveraging automated data analytics and reporting.

Projects can combine Options 1 and Option 2 to achieve up to four points.

Option 1. Enhanced Commissioning

Enhanced commissioning activities lead to optimized system performance and further integration of the CxP into the design and post-occupancy efforts.

Enhanced commissioning provides substantial value for the limited additional efforts beyond EAp3: Fundamental Commissioning . In Table 1 of the credit, a comparison of the ASHRAE Standard 90.1, Commissioning Requirements for the prerequisite versus the credit requirements from ASHRAE Standard 202 [48], along with typical milestones for key tasks to occur is presented. Projects that comply with Option 1 will automatically achieve EAp3: Fundamental Commissioning .
