August 8, 2008—Specific tasks to successfully implement the commissioning process for HVAC&R systems and assemblies are featured in a new guideline from ASHRAE. ASHRAE Guideline 1.1, HVAC&R Technical Requirements for the Commissioning Process, describes the technical requirements for the application of the commissioning process described in ASHRAE Guideline 0-2005 that will verify that the HVAC&R systems achieve the owner’s project requirements, says ASHRAE.
The guideline contains more than 100 pages of annexes, providing concrete examples of forms and documents to assist the commissioning team and owners in their efforts to deliver quality buildings that meet the owner’ s project requirements. Twenty-five sample checklists, covering pre-design, design and construction, are included along with a sample owner’s project.
ASHRAE, the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, advances technology to serve humanity and promote a sustainable world.
The cost of ASHRAE Guideline 1.1, HVAC&R Technical Requirements for the Commissioning Process, is $69 ($55, ASHRAE members). To order, or to find out more about ASHRAE, go to the Web site.
