TIME: 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM
This presentation will provide architects with fundamental information about the commissioning process and will emphasize the importance of an organized approach to commissioning in order to help achieve a successful project.
Commissioning has evolved over the past decade to become one of the most critical aspects for the successful delivery of projects. This evolution is ongoing and will be for many years to come and in order to more efficiently manage this process we must understand where the perils lie. It is important to know where we must concentrate our efforts and how we should prepare ourselves for the challenges.
It is impossible to have a “one size fits all” solution for all commissioning projects. This presentation will use case studies that provide real examples of commissioning challenges. These include the importance of scheduling, design reviews, controls, air balancing and resource allocation. The case studies are collected from hundreds of projects that Rino and his team have worked on over the years and summarizes how the same issues always seem to come up time and time again. Solutions will be presented that will allow you to identify the challenges ahead of time, will provide you with tools to meet those challenges and will (hopefully) yield a more successful project.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understanding where the real challenges lie in commissioning.
2. Understanding how to properly schedule and allocate resources when and where needed.
3. Understanding how to assign responsibility to the various Cx team members to overcome the biggest challenges in commissioning.
4. Understanding the basics of commissioning.
