A critically acclaimed book about commissioning used worldwide. Read and see reviews from the US, Canada, Australia and Denmark at www.CxGuideline.com. This book is written by an experienced commissioning manager reviews activities and documents in the commissioning process from the start of the construction process through to the end, with practical examples. This guide shows how you can implement commissioning and gives you the tools you need to get started. It also ensures that you will be in compliance with ASHRAE's Standard 202 and ASHRAE Guideline 0-2019, as well as the Danish commissioning standard DS3090. It guides you with tips and tricks to handle the challenges you'll face during the commissioning process - from the Owner's Project Requirements (OPR) to the test paradigms for system integration tests. Thomas Toftgaard Jarløv has multiple commissioning certifications: CxAP, CxM, and QCxP. He also runs www.CxWiki.dk, the Danish wiki on commissioning; and www.CxPlanner.com, which offers international commissioning software.

The Chemical and Process Plant Commissioning Handbook, winner of the 2012 Basil Brennan Medal from the Institution of Chemical Engineers, is a guide to converting a newly constructed plant or equipment into a fully integrated and operational process unit. Good commissioning is based on a disciplined, systematic and proven methodology and approach that achieve results in the safest, most efficient, cost effective and timely manner. The book is supported by detailed, proven and effective commission templates, plus extensive commissioning scenarios that enable the reader to learn the context of good commissioning practice from an experienced commissioning manager. It focuses on the critical safety assessment and inspection regimes necessary to ensure that new plants are compliant with OSHA and environmental requirements. Martin Killcross has brought together the theory of textbooks and technical information obtained from sales literature, in order to provide engineers with what they need to know before initiating talks with vendors regarding equipment selection. - Unique information from a respected, global commissioning manager: delivers the know-how to succeed for anyone commissioning new plant or equipment - Comes with online commissioning process templates that make this title a working tool kit as well as a key reference - Extensive examples of successful commissioning processes with step-by-step guidance enable readers to understand the function and performance of the wide range of tasks required in the commissioning process

Commissioning is coming of age. Savvy building owners have adopted commissioning as an effective way to improve the facility acquisition process. Green building initiatives have embraced commissioning as a way of assuring quality in the delivery of high-performance buildings. This long-established quality control process for building mechanical systems is emerging as a broader construction management tool improving nearly all aspects of a project. What exactly is this thing called commissioning? Principles of Building Commissioning answers this fundamental question with the first all-inclusive, practical guide to the application of the principles of commissioning. The book clarifies the underlying philosophy of commissioning: the why, what, when, and who of this process. Shaped by the ASHRAE Guideline 0 view of the world of commissioning, Building Commissioning: Maps out the territory of commissioning Outlines its defining characteristics Explains its flow of processes Demystifies its documentation Making the fundamentals of commissioning accessible to all parties—building owners and operators, architects and engineers, users and suppliers—who may be called upon to join the commissioning team for a particular project, Building Commissioning serves as the professional's road map to the commissioning process, from the predesign phase through occupancy.

This handbook on the commissioning of all process plants, large and small, has been fully updated and expanded. The aim of the text is to provide the non-specialist with advice on how to set about the problem of commissioning either a new plant or a modification. Some aspects of decommissioning are also included. The section on legislation has been expanded and updated to cover all areas of safety, health and environment.

Green buildings have become common in India and other countries in Asia. However, there is a concern regarding the performance of green buildings failing to meet the expectations of clients during the operation. One of the key reasons for this is poorly commissioned HVAC systems. In this publication we provide tools and knowhow for more efficient HVAC commissioning. It gives answers for four major questions: why commissioning is needed, how to perform proper commissioning, which key performance issues of common HVAC equipment need to be considered, and what kind of checklists are used during commissioning? It covers the entire commissioning process beginning with the owner’s project requirements and commissioning design reviews. Then, it explains procedures during installation and start-up of equipment followed by the functional performance testing, seasonal commissioning and 10 months’ operation review. This publication is developed by Indian Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers ISHRAE for Indian and Asian requirements in conjunction with the Federation of European HVAC Associations REHVA. The process steps described in this publication are in line with all major international building standards and green building certification schemes. Note: T&F does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

This unique book covers the practical issues associated with commissioning and supporting plant which commonly face engineers, enabling readers to rapidly become familiar with basic theory and design of equipment prior to considering commissioning or related work.
