is a web-based reference designed to provide
project specific commissioning information to the design team. The
tool enables the users to accomplish the following six
functions:
- Evaluate probable commissioning cost.
- Identify the appropriate commissioning scope for each
project, and develop sample scope documents.
- Develop a sample design intent document with specific
inputs from their projects.
- Develop a sample basis of design document with specific
inputs from their projects.
- Access sample commissioning specifications related to
specific inputs for his/her construction project.
- View sample sequence of operations for their HVAC
equipment
- Develop a sample Commissioning Plan with specific inputs
from their projects.
- Develop a sample Training Plan with specific inputs from
their projects.
- Develop a sample Systems Manual with specific inputs from
their projects.

Tool
Commissioning is a quality-assurance process that can be
incorporated into building design and construction to meet the
following objectives:
- Verify that design intent is accomplished
- Assure that systems operate as intended
- Validate system performance
- Calibrate baseline measurement of system
performance
- Train operations staff
Commissioning enhances building performance by:
- Minimizing energy consumption by ensuring that all
systems function in accordance with the design intent
- Minimizing environmental impacts associated with faulty
construction
- Maximizing occupant healthy and comfort by optimizing
system performance
- Optimizing life-cycle costs by maximizing system
performance

Handbook, the EDR Design Brief on
Commissioning, or the list of resources available on the Cx Assistant
Resources list.
