Commissioning Best Practices to Follow during the Turnover Phase

Commissioning Best Practices to Follow during the
Turnover Phase
2
Commissioning - Turnover Phase

• The turnover phase of any construction project is
  a well-ordered shift of building operations to
  the operation and maintenance (OM) team from the
  project commissioning management services team.
• This transition is physical, signifies completion
  of commissioning-specific activities and involves
  knowledge transfer in the form of documentation.
• A successful transition is said to occur when the
  commissioning-specific documentation is complete,
  fully organised, building systems are operable as
  per the design and OM personnel are trained
  appropriately to operate the systems.

Up to Date As-Built Documentation

• Construction projects are largely directed by
  design documents that elucidate and describe
  countless working elements that require to be put
  together for a successful turnover.
• The global commissioning management authority
  requires to be updated about the modifications as
  they impact commissioned equipment and gets
  updated documentation from the project team.
• The commissioning authority is not accountable
  for updating design-specific documents, but they
  are responsible to ensure that red-lined updates
  are reflected well in as-built drawings given to
  the owner particularly, mechanical as well as
  controls as-builts.
• As-builts provide the OM personnel with
  comprehensive information, using which they fix
  system problems, locate equipment, trend the
  performance of equipment and transfer knowledge
  to new personnel as and when needed.

Well-Structured Commissioning Documentation

• Similar to design documents, commissioning
  documentation should showcase the real conditions
  of the commissioned systems.
• At the least, the commissioning final report
  should consist of the Commissioning Plan and
  Performance Verification Criteria, Pre-Functional
  (PFC) and FPT notes, the Commissioning Issues Log
  and a letter of acceptance, along with supporting
  documents like Testing Adjusting and Balancing
  report, site visit reports, etc.
• The FPT and PFC notes are crucial resources that
  could aid present and future building operators
  in developing a systems manual (if not provided
  in the turnover phase) and help them with
  re-commissioning, three to five 5 years post
  turnover.

Providing a Systems Manual

• As part of the turnover package, the systems
  manual is not needed, unless the project seeks
  LEED Enhanced. Having said that, its another
  important resource that may ensure a successful
  turnover.
• Moreover, a systems manual should ideally include
  riser diagrams, control sequence highlights and
  control drawings. It is basically a tool that can
  be utilised by OM personnel for troubleshooting,
  operating, and maintaining and monitoring
  building performance.

Developing a Re-Commissioning Plan

• In general, the re-commissioning plan should
  detail the following
• Overview of the on-going commissioning process
• Responsibilities and roles of the commissioning
  team
• Schedule of re-commissioning
• List of the systems involved
• In-depth instructions for the replication of
  FPTs, implemented by the commissioning authority
  in the Acceptance phase.
• Re-commissioning documents to monitor outcomes
• Instructions and recommendations to set and track
  facility performance benchmarks
