What Is HVAC Commissioning?
The entire HVAC commissioning procedure is essential to the design, construction, and maintenance of a Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system.
The primary objective of HVAC commissioning services is to ensure that the system installed in a building performs as intended by the owner and is functioning safely and effectively.
What Are the
Different Types of HVAC Commissioning And How Do They Differ?
- The initial HVAC commissioning is the process of setting up a new or existing structure’s heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system.
- When an older HVAC system is commissioned for the first time in an existing structure, it’s known as retro-commissioning.
- Re-commissioning is the process of re-commissioning a system that has previously been commissioned to assist improve functionality or to adapt it to new requirements.
What Does HVAC Commissioning Involve?
Following the installation by a mechanical contractor, engineers begin the commissioning procedure with a comprehensive examination of the HVAC equipment. This investigation consists of confirming that the correct equipment has been installed and that it is in its proper location.
After the installation has been completed, the commissioning engineers will ensure that it is in accordance with the manufacturer’s requirements. The next stage is witness testing, which verifies that the HVAC system is functioning correctly. This procedure serves as an extra confirmation that the HVAC system is in working order.
System start-up, shutdown, and operation procedures will all be double-checked and recorded.
If the system’s operation turns up any problems, they will be noted and reported to the mechanical contractors. If the verification and witness procedure has been effective, the HVAC system will be tested, adjusted, and balanced to verify that it is functioning as intended. All building work authorized under Part L of the Building Regulations must be carried out in accordance
Before you hand over the keys, make sure you give ample time for commissioning. This allows any potential faults or shortcomings to be discovered and addressed.
Why Is HVAC Commissioning Important and What Are The Outcomes?
A faulty HVAC installation is a big risk to your company’s safety and health. Commissioning of the HVAC system is an essential feature of its installation. The system may not operate as effectively as it could if commissioning is lacking. It might not operate at all in some situations, making the entire project a waste of time and resources
Commissioning of the HVAC system ensures that expensive HVAC systems, which are needed to perform an essential function, are functioning as intended. The building owner will have available documentation on how the system is operating and any concerns that need to be addressed if appropriate HVAC commissioning has been done.
