One of the key elements of any commissioning process is documentation - documentation of design intent, documentation of the process of verifying achievement of that intent, and documentation of as-built system operation. This month, we are going to examine the critical documentation of system operation/sequences of control associated with an HVAC EMS.
Sequences of operation are defined during the design phase of a typical design/bid/build project and revisited periodically as the project proceeds to completion. They are: design specification; shop drawing submittal; control system programming; field start-up; and as-built documents.
