6. Final test report forms to be used.
7. Detailed step-by-step procedures for TAB work for each system and issue: terminal flow
calibration (for each terminal type), diffuser proportioning, branch/sub-main proportioning,
total flow calculations, rechecking, diversity issues, expected problems and solutions, etc.
Criteria for using air flow straighteners or relocating flow stations and sensors will be
discussed.
8. List of all air flow, water flow, sound level, system capacity and efficiency measurements to
be performed and a description of specific test procedures, parameters, formulas to be used.
9. The identification and types of measurement instruments to be used and their most recent
calibration date.
10. Specific procedures that will ensure that the air side is operating at the lowest possible
pressures and provide methods to verify this.
11. Details of how building static and exhaust fan/relief damper capacity will be checked.
12. Proposed selection points for sound measurements and sound measurement methods.
13. Details of all exhaust fan balancing and capacity verifications, including any required room
pressure differentials.
14. Plan for hand-written field technician logs or discrepancies, deficient or uncompleted work by
others, contractor interpretation requests and lists of completed tests (scope and frequency).
15. Plan for formal progress reports (scope and frequency).
16. Plan for formal deficiency reports (scope, frequency and distribution).
17. The TAB field technicians shall keep a running log of events and issues. Submit hand-written
reports of discrepancies, deficient or uncompleted work by others, contract interpretation
request and lists of complete tests to the Commissioning Agent and CM/GC at least weekly.
18. Communicate in writing to the Controls Contractor all set points and parameter changes
made or problems and discrepancies identified during TAB, which affect the control system
setup and operation.
19. Provide a draft TAB report within two weeks of completion. A copy will be provided to the
Commissioning Agent. The report will contain a full explanation of the methodology,
assumptions and the results in a clear format with designations of all uncommon
abbreviations and column headings. The report should follow the latest and most rigorous
reporting recommendations by AABC, ASHRAE Standard 111.
20. Provide the Commissioning Agent with any requested data, gathered, but not shown on the
draft reports.
21. Provide a final TAB report of the Commissioning Agent with details, as in the draft.
22. Conduct functional performance tests and checks on the original TAB as specified for TAB in
Division 1 and 15.
D. Architect, Owner, Electrician and Mechanical Engineer: Refer to Division 1.
E. Automatic Temperature Control System (ATCS) Contractor: Refer to Division 1 and 16.
1.03 RELATED WORK
1. ATC Contractor is responsible to act as a Commissioning Agent team member and issue to
the Commissioning Agent for review and comment, their pre-functional plan (point to point
and start-up) and be onsite and available to perform all required system commissioning.
2. All ATC/BAS graphics and sequences are to be demonstrated to the Commissioning Agent
prior to functional testing.
A. Refer to Division 1 for a listing of all sections where commissioning requirements are found.
B. Refer to Division 1 for sections involving related commissioning work; for functional testing
requirements, and preliminary Commissioning Agent Plan.
