Commissioning Process: Timeline Every commissioning project is unique, but there are key phases or stages these projects go through. Existing Building New Building üDesign üConstruction üAcceptance üWarranty 1 NB EB üRetro Commissioning üOngoing Commissioning üMonitoring-Based Commissioning

Monitoring Based Commissioning (MBCx) • ENERGY STAR tells you a basic score • MBCx tells you what to do and when to do it to keep the building(s) running efficiently. • MBCx when used in new construction as a tool can: – Get you as close to “ 0” defects as possible with your operational systems on a 24/7/365 basis – MBCx will catch all warranty tasks that must be performed by your controls contractor to ensure the sequence of operation! – History 2

MBCx: Helps you determine the greatest possible Value & Performance from your Building Systems Collect Data 24/7/365 MBCx: Bridges the gap between real time Systems & Equipment level information Monitor Results Ensures reliability, long life and cost efficiency M&V Process Owners Implementation 1. Owner’s Staff Reviews Evaluates Real Or Time Data 2. Engineering as a Service Recommends Action Information needed to take a Proactive rather Reactive Approach

Retro-Commissioning (Retro-Cx) • • A systematic process of testing, validating and improving building systems to optimize performance without major changes in configurations Low- or no-cost changes to improve performance and lower energy and operational costs Combined with project assessments and planning, can improve system configurations to further enhance performance and efficiency with costeffective investments Next Step: On-Going Cx (Not very

LEED v 4 • Intent – To further support the design, construction and eventual operation of a project that meets the owner’s project requirements for energy, water, indoor environmental quality and durability • Requirements – Implement, or have in place a contract to implement, the following commissioning process activities in addition to those required under EA Prerequisite Fundamental Commissioning and Verification • Commissioning Authority – The experience must extend from early design phase through at least ten months of occupancy

LEED v 4 • Option 1. Enhanced systems commissioning (3 -4 points) – Path 1: Enhanced commissioning (3 points) • OR • Path 2: Enhanced and Monitoring-based Commissioning (4 points) – Achieve Path 1, AND • Develop monitoring-based procedures and identify points to be measured and evaluated to assess performance of energy- and waterconsuming systems • Include the procedures and measurement points in the commissioning plan. Address the following: – roles and responsibilities; – measurement requirements (meters, points, metering systems, data access);

LEED v 4 – the points to be tracked, with frequency and duration for trend monitoring; – the limits of acceptable values for tracked points and metered values (where appropriate, predictive algorithms may be used to compare ideal values with actual values); – the elements used to evaluate performance, including conflict between systems, out-of-sequence operation of systems components, and energy and water usage profiles; – an action plan for identifying and correcting operational errors and deficiencies; – training to prevent errors; – planning for repairs needed to maintain performance; and – the frequency of analyses in the first year of occupancy (at least quarterly). – Update the systems manual with any modifications or new settings, and give the reason for any modifications from the original design. • AND/OR • Option 2. Envelope commissioning (2 points)

ISO 50001

ISO 50001 • The urgency to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the reality of higher prices from reduced availability of fossil fuels and the need to promote efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources provide a strong rationale for the developing this new standard, building on the most advanced good practices and existing national or regional standards • Alan Bryden IOS Secretary-General • A Strategic plan that requires measurement, management, and documentation for the continuous improvement for the energy efficiency. • Identification of key performance indicators, unique to the company, that are tracked to measure progress. • How ready are you for ISO 50001?

What Cx will look in the next few years!
