One of the easiest-to-create commissioning process deliverables is also one of the most valuable to the building owner/operator. I am talking about a master equipment list (MEL).
Every commissioned system consists of individual pieces of equipment, and commissioning professionals must know what they are, where they’re located, and why they’re needed. One of the first things a commissioning professional should do is make a list of systems and which equipment belongs to each. Systems are not necessarily defined by industry standards, so commissioning professionals need to define systems that make sense for each project. Sharing this information with your team ensures system boundaries are clear and that all overlaps are addressed through integration verification.
