1 Upper Saint Clair School District Benefits of Commissioning Presented By: Matt Judge, LEED AP, CPQ Matt Campise Boyce and Fort Couch Middle Schools

2 Evolution of School Building Construction Pre-1980 s Through 1990 s New Millennium Did Not Commission! Simple buildings Start-up guy Standard systems Buildings worked Low energy rates Forced to Commission! Reactive Systems complexity Complaint driven Blame finger point System failures Legal action Corrective action cost Sustaining the Euphoria Proactive Quality assurance Sustaining operation System training Value (ROI) Energy management Green buildings

3 Benefits of Green School Buildings Average Savings of Green Buildings ENERGY SAVINGS 30% CARBON SAVINGS 35% WATER USE SAVINGS 30-50% WASTE COST SAVINGS 50-90% $

4 What is Commissioning? Cx is a quality assurance PROCESS for buildings from pre-design through design, construction, and operations. The process involves achieving, verifying, and documenting the performance of each holistic system to meet the building's operational needs within the capabilities of the documented design and equipment capacities, according to the school's functional criteria. Mechanical Plumbing Electrical T Energy Automatic Temperature Controls Design Construction Acceptance

5 What is the Process of Commissioning?

6 Why LEED NC Pr Fundamental Commissioning? Designate a third party Cx agent Review of the school s project and program Requirements, and Basis of Design Development and inclusion of commissioning construction documents Develop and use a commissioning plan Verification of installation and performance testing Summarize and document result and resolution

7 Why LEED NC CR3 Enhanced Commissioning? Getting Started Early Additional Design Reviews Educate Operators Training, Systems Integration Preserve Assets Post-Occupancy Reviews Sustain Performance Re-Commissioning Manual School Building Higher LEED Rating SILVER GOLD - PLATINUM Additional LEED Credit

8 What are the Benefits of Commissioning? 1. Capital & Operating Efficiencies Maintain budget integrity, avoid unnecessary costs Minimize change orders Realize lower operating & energy costs Protects investment with a well-trained Ops staff Improved occupant safety and comfort 2. Environmental Impact Assistance in obtaining LEED certification by USGBC if applicable Improve fresh-air introduction for health & comfort and a better place to teach and learn Minimizes greenhouse gas emissions with efficient operations

9 Pennsylvania Commissioning Program PA Cx Program Statistics: Program Years: Present Number of Projects: 59 GSF Commissioned: 4.5 Million Value of Projects: $1.3 Billion Recent Entities Served: Cheltenham School District East Stroudsburg University Eastern Center for the Arts and Tech.

Wilson Middle School 136,385 GSF - $20.2 Million Commissioning agent, design review, installation inspections, performance verification, and operations training Recently Occupied Geothermal Systems Reference: Frank Szalley Business Manager (814) Rescheduled start of units to optimize electric usage Comfort for occupants Annual electricity savings of $70K per year Differential pressure switches in the roof top units Range of sensor was too high Replacement was required by equipment provider Cost of replacement was in excess of $5K Avoided damaged compressor costs was over $30K Extremely negative building Roof top design was open to return plenum and allowed continuous speed exhaust Addition of VFD was required by equipment provider (over $10K) Avoided occupant discomfort due to excess air infiltration Avoided annual energy costs of $12K per year
