1 1 Commissioning at NYP Joseph Lorino, PE, LEED Vice President, Facilities Management November 4, 2015

2 Presentation Agenda 2 What is Commissioning Why Commission? Developing NYP s Commissioning Program NYP Commissioning Process Roles & Responsibilities

3 Definitions 3 The Commissioning Process. A quality focused process for enhancing the delivery of a project. The process focuses upon verifying and documenting that the facility and all of its systems and assemblies are planned, designed, installed, tested, operated and maintained to meet the Owner s Project Requirements (OPR). -ASHRAE Guideline

4 The Commissioning Process 4 ASHRAE Guideline : The Commissioning Process (To be used as the foundation of ASHRAE Guideline 1 and the NIBS Total Building Commissioning Process technical guidelines) ASHRAE Guideline 1-200X HVAC&R Technical Requirements for The Commissioning Process NIBS Guidelines 2-200X through X Technical commissioning guidelines dealing with lighting, fire, interiors, envelopes, plumbing, etc. Guideline 1 ASHRAE, HVAC&R System Guideline 2 ASCE, Structural Systems Guideline 3 BETEC, Exterior Envelope Systems Guideline 4 NRCA, Roofing Systems Guideline 5 AWCI, Interior Systems Guideline 6 NEII, Elevator Systems Guideline 7 ASPE, Plumbing Systems Guideline 8 IES, Lighting Systems Guideline 9 IEEE, Electrical Systems Guideline 10 NFPA, Fire Protection Systems Guideline 11 TIA, Telecommunications Systems

5 Why Commission? Evolving complexity of building control systems 5 Modern ventilation, lighting and comfort systems are energy intensive Construction deficiencies at outset in most buildings Need for independent & objective peer review Operations & Maintenance (O&M) staff unprepared to operate complicated buildings efficiently Frequent user complaints Long term operating costs utility costs & maintenance higher than expected

6 Benefits of Commissioning 6 Improved system & equipment function Increased occupant & owner satisfaction Lower utility bills through energy savings Significant extension of equipment/systems lifecycle Improved building occupant productivity Benefits 2000 NYSERDA & 2001 PECI Surveys: 70% fewer post acceptance deficiencies 65% fewer occupancy complaints 50% decrease of litigation 65% improvement of comfort control 60% owners get what they paid for Source: NEMI National Energy Management Institute

7 7 The NYP Program Why? Design review sessions Utility capacities Unplanned shutdowns Construction deficiencies High cost of repair Inaccessibility Adjacencies to patients DOH Pre Occupancy Inspections Mandates after construction Impact to patient care

8 8 Bridging the Gap

12 Typical Commissioned Systems 12 HVAC Fire smoke dampers Electrical Lighting Plumbing Pneumatic tube Medical gas Nurse call Fire alarm Security Fire protection Vertical transportation Fire Stopping

13 13 Non-traditional Commissioning Beyond ASHRAE Guideline 0 Assist in DOH Pre occupancy inspections Barcode assets Develop equipment PM program Assist A/E pre existing conditions survey Inspect rated wall penetrations & firestopping Phasing coordination Decanting of space

14 14 The NYP Program The Projects Ongoing Project Reviews Renovations Infrastructure Major Projects New Building

15 The Commissioning Process FEASIBILITY DESIGN CONSTRUCTION POST-CONSTRUCTION 15 Identify Cx Team Define OPR Develop Preliminary Cx Plan Establish Initial Budget for Cx Incorporate Cx into A/E Scope of Services Retain CxA Review OPR and BoD Concept, DD, and CD Design Reviews Update Cx Plan Develop Cx Specifications Define Training Review Submittals Construction Checklists Perform Field Inspections Oversee and Document FPT Lead Cx Team Meetings Conduct Owner Training Turnover Cx Record Perform Deferred & Seasonal Testing End of Warranty Review Complete Final Cx Report Final Satisfaction Review with Customer Agency ReCx Every 3-5 Years Cx Integrated into Planning Documents?

16 Cx Agent Roles & Responsibilities 16 Enlisted in the project at earliest possible stage, Feasibility or Schematic Design Establish the Owners Project Requirements (OPR) Apply Best Practice standards during design review process Ensure the MEP installation and operation complies with the design intent and manufacturer s specifications Ensure that the MEP installation will be maintainable by Facilities Operations Ensure O&M Materials and Warranty are available, scanned, indexed and appropriate for the installation Coordinate in Facilities Operations Staff Training Coordinate work with the Campus Engineer and Facilities Operations Develop Preventive Maintenance Program for installed equipment, in TMS format

17 Feasibility Phase 17 Develop Owner s Project Requirements (OPR) Project Overview Functional Uses Occupant Requirements Performance Criteria Integrate stakeholders in this phase (clinical staff, O&M staff) Identify scope for Cx process Develop draft Cx Plan The Basis of Design is the Design Team s technical interpretation of the OPR

18 Design Phase 18 Verify the Basis of Design (A/E) meets the Owner s Project Requirements Identify scope for Cx process Basis of design Update the Cx Plan Begin developing the Cx Log Develop Cx process for inclusion in the CDs Multiple Focused Design Reviews Develop project specific Cx Specifications Value Engineering assistance Define O&M Training requirements

19 Construction Phase 19 Update OPR & Cx Plan Verify submittals & shop drawings meet OPR Develop test procedures Equipment / system Installation is per contract documents Pre-functional Equipment start-ups System testing (duct leakage, flushing/cleaning, pressure, electrical) Functional testing BMS-Controls / graphics to be completed prior to functional testing Individual components Systems and interfaces Document all issues (Issues or Deficiency Log) Re-inspection and re-testing as required Verify training activities

20 Acceptance & Occupancy Phase 20 Complete seasonal testing Deficiency Closeout Performance Testing Design Criteria TAB Verification Integrated System Performance Testing Facilitation of End User Training Approved Syllabus prior to any sessions Engage factory trained representatives As-Built drawings to be submitted prior to training O&M manuals to be available Final Report

21 Occupancy Phase 21 Development and Delivery of a Functional Integrated Systems Manual Seasonal Testing Occupant Interviews Warranty Review Update All Cx Documentation
