How does commissioning relate to testing, adjusting, and balancing (TAB)? Is TAB the same as commissioning? Is TAB part of the commissioning process? Is commissioning a duplication of the TAB effort?
As with much of the commissioning industry, there are no hard and fast, universally accepted answers to these questions. The important issue for each individual design and construction project is to tackle these questions and define roles and responsibilities clearly, coordinate schedules, and avoid unwanted duplication of effort or unanticipated gaps.
