In the past year, our office has entered into several commissioning projects at or near the end of construction by the owner to facilitate the system demonstration to the owner and the facility staff. From this experience, we see a pattern forming: the total building system automation and associated sequence of operation has become fragmented.
Seldom will an owner now receive one, single-source, automatic control record document that reflects the entire building system diagrams and sequence of operation. The owner now has to search several closeout documents in hopes of finding the entire control system for the completed job.
