Summary:

The effective operation of building services control systems is highly dependent on proper commissioning. Commissioning enables the design to be fully realised, delivering a building with services which are far more likely to work as designed, to deliver fresh air to the occupants and provide comfortable levels of warmth or cooling. It is well understood that comfortable buildings are more likely to accommodate productive and satisfied occupants.Commissioning therefore has the capacity to deliver significant improvements in the performance of the business processes within a building, adding value to the building operator or owner and contributing to improved productivity and competitiveness for the building owner. Automatic control systems have evolved very dramatically over the last decade, and it was therefore decided that this CIBSE Commissioning Code should be comprehensively rewritten to reflect modern technology. The chance was also taken to reflect the growing realisation that many key decisions relating to the construction process are taken in the very early stages of a project. The Code therefore gives the strongest encouragement to designers and clients to consider commissioning at the earliest stages, and to seek specialist input early in the life of the project.CIBSE Commissioning Code C presents current standards of good commissioning practice in the form of recommendations and guidance. The Code acknowledges that it may be applied in a variety of contractual frameworks. Users will need to ensure that the use of the Code is considered when contractual arrangements are being made, to ensure that the recommendations of the Code are not in conflict with those of the contract.
