Read the first 7 Project Management flashcards as text

  1. Under ASHRAE Guideline 0 and Standard 202, who is primarily responsible for the content of the Owner's Project Requirements (OPR)?

    Answer: The owner, with facilitation from the commissioning provider

    The OPR documents the owner's functional requirements and expectations, so the owner owns its content while the CxP typically facilitates development.

  2. Which document explains how the design team intends to meet the Owner's Project Requirements, including assumptions and design criteria?

    Answer: Basis of Design (BOD)

    The Basis of Design records the design team's approach, assumptions, and criteria for satisfying the OPR.

  3. According to ASHRAE's commissioning process, when should commissioning ideally begin?

    Answer: During the predesign phase

    ASHRAE Guideline 0 and Standard 202 call for commissioning to start in predesign so owner requirements can shape the design.

  4. A chiller plant's full-load cooling test cannot be done at winter acceptance. What is the correct commissioning approach?

    Answer: Schedule deferred or seasonal testing when design conditions are present

    Seasonal (deferred) testing confirms performance under actual load conditions that weren't available at acceptance.

  5. What is the main purpose of a commissioning issues log?

    Answer: Tracking deficiencies and their resolution through closeout

    The issues log records each identified deficiency, who is responsible, and how and when it was resolved.

  6. Which commissioning deliverable gives operators system descriptions, sequences of operation, and O&M information for ongoing use?

    Answer: Systems manual

    The systems manual collects the information operators need to run and maintain the systems as intended.

  7. In the commissioning process, what is the main purpose of construction checklists (pre-functional checklists)?

    Answer: Verifying that equipment is properly installed and ready for functional testing

    Construction checklists confirm that installation and startup are complete before functional performance testing begins.
