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 Guide for Commissioning Building Electrical Systems seeks to help you understand the commissioning process and provides recommendations for successful projects. The chapter sequence first discusses reasons to commissioning electrical systems and follows by overviewing project schedules/budgets and levels 1 through 5 of the commissioning process. Using a mentor-based approach, the chapters overview development of documentation, such as Commissioning Plans, Commissioning Specifications, Test Equipment Plans, checklists, and test scripts. Given the electrical emphasis, there is also an overview of power characteristics needed to specify and operate test equipment such as load banks and Power Quality Meters (PQMs). The Author's perspective brings firsthand design and commissioning experience forward, with electrical specific examples throughout, such as recommendations for equipment inspections and field observations. The guide also summarizes relevant codes/standards. Having the cited standard/code references available for review as you read is helpful, but otherwise, they are purely supplemental. The Author recommends this text for anyone, novice to professional, in the construction industry with an interest in electrical systems. The guide includes hyperlinks to helpful web addresses, which are more convenient in the e-book format. The reader may still choose to type the addresses into a web browser if they prefer a physical copy of the guide.

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.

'Building Control Systems' provides the building services engineer with a comprehensive understanding of modern control systems and relevant information technology. This will ensure that the best form of control systems for the building is specified and that proper provision is made for its installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance. Beginning with an overview of the benefits of the modern building control system, the authors describe the different controls and their applications, and include advice on their set-up and tuning for stable operation. There are chapters on the practical design of control systems, how to work from the hardware components and their inclusion in networks, through to control strategies in Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems and whole buildings. The relationship between Building, Management Systems (BMS) and information technology systems is discussed, and the building procurement process and the importance of considering control requirements at an early stage in the design process
