5 The DESIGN and CONSTRUCTION COMMISSIONING Process is the means to verify and document that the facility systems operate in accordance with their DESIGN intent and that the operations staff fully understands the system operational procedures and are prepared to continue operating the system per the DESIGN intent. This includes documenting system operational goals and DESIGN parameters, specifying verification and testing in the contract documents, confirming the successful completion of the verification process, documenting the system operational procedures and training the operations staff.

6 The DESIGN and CONSTRUCTION COMMISSIONING Process is coordinated by the COMMISSIONING Leader and executed by the COMMISSIONING Team. The goals of the DESIGN and CONSTRUCTION plan are to define the: 1) Systems to be Commissioned 2) COMMISSIONING activities and documentation 3) Scheduling parameters 4) Acceptance criteria 5) Roles and responsibilities of the COMMISSIONING Team members Add: 6) CONSTRUCTION Air Quality Management plan 7) Correction Period Air Quality Management plan 8) CONSTRUCTION Waste Management plan 9) Correction Period User Comfort and Satisfaction Assessment plan The DESIGN and CONSTRUCTION COMMISSIONING plan is a living document that grows in detail over time, as systems are specified and DESIGN details are refined.

7 The following is a description of how the DESIGN and CONSTRUCTION COMMISSIONING plan shall evolve over the course of the project.
