摘要

In recent years, most new buildings have beenequipped with increasingly sophisticated heating,ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems,energy conservation equipment, lighting systems,security systems, and environmental control devicesthat rely on electronic control. Very frequently thesesystems and design features have not performed asexpected. This can result in energy-efficiency losses.occupant complaints about comfort, indoor air qualityproblems. high operating costs, and increasedliability for building owners, operators, employers,and design professionals.Building commissioning was developed inresponse to these concerns. Commissioning involvesthe examining and testing of building systems to verifyaspects of the building design, ensure that thebuilding is constructed in accordance with thecontract documents, and verify that the building andits systems function according to the design intentdocuments. The process helps to integrate andorganize the design, construction, operations, andmaintenance of a building's systems to produce ahealthy, comfortable, and efficient facility.
