Does Commissioning have to Include all of the Steps Recommended in ASHRAE Guideline 0?
A project team may implement all of the components of the ASHRAE Guideline 0 Commissioning Process, or they may elect to pick and choose the activities that they feel will add the most value and are best suited to a specific project. The commissioning steps outlined in ASHRAE Guideline 0 are designed to identify and resolve issues as early in the design and construction process as possible to reduce costs and improve efficiency. Omitting steps from this process may reduce the effectiveness of the projects commissioning program.
