COMMISSIONING
REQUIREMENTS. VERIFICATION. TESTS. PERFORMANCE. STANDARDS. REPORTS.
The Building Commissioning Association (BCA) defines the basic purpose of commissioning as:
“The basic purpose of building commissioning is to provide documented confirmation that building systems function in compliance with criteria set forth in the project contract documents to satisfy the owner’s operational needs.”
This definition is based on the critical understanding that the owner must have some means of verifying that their functional needs are rigorously addressed during design, construction, and acceptance.
