H3. OVERVIEW OF THE COMMISSIONING PROCESS
Table H-1 provides an overview of general requirements for verification or the commissioning process required by Section 4.2.5.
An overview of the relationship between the verification/ FPT and commissioning requirements is shown in Figure H-1.
a. The core verification and FPT requirements are specified by discipline in Sections 5.9.1, 6.9.1, 7.9.1,
8.9.1, 9.9.1, 10.9.1, 12.2(e), and G1.2.1(e). b. Provisions are established in the construction documents for verification and FPT, and verification and
testing (V&T) providers are identified as required by Section 4.2.5.1.1. c. The results of this verification and FPT are documented as specified in Section 4.2.5.1.2.
These core V&T requirements and documentation satisfy requirements for smaller buildings, warehouses, and buildings using the simplified approach for HVAC systems, which are exempted from commissioning .
In buildings where commissioning is required, the same verification and FPT requirements apply:
a. A commissioning plan is developed and completed according to Section 4.2.5.2.1. b. The current edition of the standard does not require any additional testing for commissioning beyond
what is required in the base Section 4.2.5.1 verification and FPT requirements. c. In addition, there is a commissioning requirement for design review of verification of compliance with
Standard 90.1 requirements. d. The verification and FPT documentation is included in the commissioning reporting required in Section
4.2.5.2.2.
Table H-2 provides an overview of activities, documentation, and responsibilities that should be included in the commissioning process as defined by Standard 202 and Guideline 0. Not all of these activities are required by Standard 90.1, and the requirement sections are referenced in the “90.1 Section” column.
H4. STANDARD 90.1 ITEMS TO INCLUDE IN VERIFICATION, TESTING, OR COMMISSIONING
Table H-3 lists systems and requirements included in Standard 90.1 that can benefit from a verification or commissioning process. The Standard 90.1 section number and title are included, along with a list of sug
