Abstract

This study aims to establish building commissioning process for large-scaled construction company, and develop the commissioning template in accordance with each phase. The purpose of this paper is to develop a practical, systematic, professional template for commissioning for a large construction company. In addition, commissioning of buildings is the main subject of performance verification of Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVAC & R) systems that require equipment and control, so we focus on verification of HVAC & R. Large-scaled construction companies in Korea are transforming from general contractors to Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC)s, and it is expected that the role of building commissioning for the objective quality assurance of buildings will be important in the future. In addition, it is necessary to prepare for this, since it is impossible to properly respond in a timely manner to the contractor who must obtain final approval from a professional commissioning company before delivering the building to owner. In order to solve these problems, it is necessary to properly understand the submission documents and work system required by a professional commissioning company and to establish a work performance system to enable commissioning from the General contractor’s perspective. As the owner's demand for building commissioning increases day by day, a response to this is necessary, also, the commissioning can respond to the global warming crisis. The research team builds the commissioning template from plan to O&M phase, then, the template contained key documents and general document packages.

Highlights

  • Since the late 2000s, interest in energy saving and eco-friendliness arising from resource depletion along with global warming has been spreading around the United States and Europe, and the demand for eco-friendly performance verification of buildings is expanding

  • Commissioning of buildings is the main subject of performance verification of Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVAC & R) systems that require equipment and control, so we focus on verification of HVAC & R

  • The commissioning template is composed of key document and general document package

Summary

Introduction

Since the late 2000s, interest in energy saving and eco-friendliness arising from resource depletion along with global warming has been spreading around the United States and Europe, and the demand for eco-friendly performance verification of buildings is expanding. In the United States, Europe, and Canada, guidelines and laws are established and distributed through various associations, and currently, the introduction and concept of commissioning is spreading. In order to solve these problems, it is necessary to properly understand the submission documents and work system required by a professional commissioning company and to establish a work performance system to enable commissioning from the General contractor’s perspective.[5]. Commissioning of buildings is the main subject of performance verification of Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVAC & R) systems that require equipment and control, so we focus on verification of HVAC & R. In order to create a template, the project was categorized into 4 phases, and the details of each phase are as follows
