It<\/span><\/a>\u00a0is an all-inclusive process of systematic quality assurance that verifies building systems to be designed, installed, tested, and capable of being operated and maintained to perform interactively according to the design intent and the owner’s operational needs. <\/span>The Building Commissioning Association (BCxA)<\/span><\/a> is an international non-profit organization that serves as the recognized authority and resource on commissioning. <\/span>ASHRAE Guideline 0<\/span> presents the defining characteristics of the ideal building commissioning process.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>New York City Energy Conservation Code (NYCECC) Section C-408<\/span> mandates Building commissioning based on the capacity of the heating and cooling equipment being installed. The threshold is 600,000 BTU\/h for heating equipment (inclusive of domestic water heating equipment) and 480,000 BTU\/h for cooling equipment (i.e. 20-tons of air conditioning). Renewable energy systems (i.e. solar panels) are also required to be commissioned if the installed system exceeds 25 kW. Building Commissioning is also a requisite for <\/span>LEED certification<\/span><\/a> of a building.<\/span><\/p>\n
