You may have heard the word "commissioning" in the context of the Navy launching a new ship. In the commercial and industrial HVAC world, commissioning is the process of ensuring a building's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems are installed and working properly and efficiently. It is a critically important step following the installation of an HVAC system or any major overhaul.
But what is commissioning, how is it performed, and what are the benefits? This article answers these and other questions.
Properly commissioning an HVAC system takes time and attention to detail, but it pays off in many ways, including:
The commissioning process can vary somewhat by project, system, etc., but typically it includes these phases:
The cost of HVAC commissioning can vary depending on the size and complexity of the building, as well as the scope of the commissioning process. However, the expense is typically offset by the savings that can be achieved through improved energy efficiency and reduced maintenance costs.
If you are considering commissioning a commercial HVAC system, there are a few key considerations to keep in mind. First, you should choose a qualified company to perform the process. Not all HVAC contractors have the skills and experience to execute this process correctly.
Second, it is vital to draft a commissioning plan tailored to the specifics of your building and HVAC system. The plan should include details on the scope of work, budget, and timeline for the commissioning process.
Finally, you should be prepared to make changes to the HVAC system based on the findings of the commissioning process. These changes may include modifications to the system's design, installation, or operation.
If your system is installed by an experienced HVAC service provider, you likely will not encounter many issues in your commissioning process. But you should not assume the system will get the green light immediately. That can lead to frustration and logistical problems.
As a building owner or business decision-maker, you are surely excited to get your HVAC system operational. You can help with that goal by doing the following:
What exactly does an HVAC tech do when commissioning a system? Some of the more common tasks include:
You would not (or, at least, should not) take a ride on the highway in a newly developed automobile that has never undergone testing. The same caution should apply to your HVAC system.
The risk of injury is not the same as in a car, but the potential for poor performance, subpar comfort, and costly breakdowns should be enough motivation to ensure your system is properly commissioned.
