2 --- Materials Science Engineering & Nanotechnology CM In-House Proposal: A CM is qualified to perform in-house building commissioning vs. hiring a 3 rd party commissioning agent --- Research Case Studies --- Benefits of CM In-House --- CM In-House commissioning department set-up guidelines --- CM In-House Plan --- Materials Science Engineering & Nanotechnology The basic purpose of building commissioning is to provide documented confirmation that building systems function in compliance with criteria set forth in the Project Documents to satisfy the Owner s operational needs Ensures a is: --- Designed --- Tested --- Installed --- Started Average Costs: (HVAC, Controls, Electrical) HVAC and Automated Controls System Electrical Systems Cost Less than 0.5% - 1.5% of Total Construction Cost Less than 1.5% - 2.5% of Mechanical System Cost Less than 1.0% - 1.5% of Electrical System Cost --- Materials Science Engineering & Nanotechnology --- Materials Science Engineering & Nanotechnology All systems must be commissioned because all are integrated and a deficiency in one may result in the performance or failure of another. Benefits: o Reduced energy use o Improved indoor air quality o Improved occupant comfort o Improved environmental conditions o Improved system and equipment function o Improved building operation and maintenance o Improved building productivity o Smoother building turnover o Better start-up documentation o Better operator training and Owner knowledge of their systems Why Owners Commission Improve Comfort 25% Research 37% Utility Funding 41% Improve Client 53% Satisfaction Potential Energy Savings 80% Ensuring System Performance 81% --- Materials Science Engineering & Nanotechnology --- Materials Science Engineering & Nanotechnology Benefits of In-House o Understand the construction schedule In-House Department set-up guidelines o Must remain a separate entity o Risk involved ensures an excellent building turnover o practices must be understood and practiced properly o Provide services on all building systems, not just controls o Members of the department must be certified commissioning agents o Qualified to gain LEED points o Department must consist of staff specializing in each building system o Extensive background on all building systems o Organized plan must be followed 2

3 --- Materials Science Engineering & Nanotechnology --- Materials Science Engineering & Nanotechnology CM In-House Plan Virtual MEP Task 1: Planning Phase --- Develop Project Objectives --- Choose Team --- Develop Schedule Task 2: Submittal --- system submittals Task 3: Construction Inspections/Start-ups --- Develop pre-functional tests and checklists --- Inspections, site visits --- and attend system start-ups and tests Task 4: Functional Performance Tests --- Coordinate FPT and test plans --- Witness FPT --- Document FPT Results Task 5: O & M Manuals and Training Proposal: 3D models are more effective when coordinating MEP systems than traditional coordination methods. --- Research Case Studies --- Advantages of 3D MEP --- 3D MEP Process --- 3D MEP Model Checklist --- 3D Model Cost and Schedule Analysis --- Problems with 3D MEP --- Materials Science Engineering & Nanotechnology --- Materials Science Engineering & Nanotechnology 3D MEP Advantages of 3D MEP Provides in One Drawing: --- Material Lists --- Fabrication Drawings --- Assembly Drawings o Problems can be solved in the early phases of design And construction o Multiple coordination plans can be viewed before selecting the most efficient --- Construction/Scheduling o Navigation through the model is possible allowing errors to be found o Plans can be tested before construction o Different views of the model can be seen --- Materials Science Engineering & Nanotechnology --- Materials Science Engineering & Nanotechnology 3D MEP Process 3D MEP Model Checklist HVAC Subcontractor creates background for all other MEP Contractors Mechanical Subcontractor adds HVAC system Plumbing Contractor adds plumbing system Sprinkler Contractor adds sprinkler mains/branches Electrical Subcontractor adds main electrical feeds Finished drawings are reviewed by all contractors involved, the architect and the project manager` Conflicts are identified & documented by all parties Solution is developed & documented by all parties Meeting Level of Detail: The level of detail needs to be determined because items can be modeled in varying levels of detail. For example a piece of mechanical equipment could be modeled as a 3D box or to show all access point, switches, etc. When to complete 3D model: The sequence and timing of the model needs to be coordinated with the construction process, from design to turnover. Staff: Each person needs to understand the goals, the level of 3D modeling required, and the amount of information sharing needed. Design Background: The coordinate system, file name, layers, etc.. must be set up early in the design process. 3
