Loss of Power, the verification of multiple building systems under loss of normal power, is a fundamental--and critical--functional performance test that should be performed in every facility that includes back-up power or an emergency power system.However, many project teams still do not perform this test, do not realize the criticality of this test or test using simulations instead of actually performing the test under “real-world” conditions that include interrupting primary power under a controlled and planned procedure .It’s not a test that can be skipped, nor is it a test that the team should take lightly, as it requires planning and coordination far beyond any other functional test.In this highly informative webinar, we will discuss common challenges for including and conducting loss of power and ways to overcome these challenges.

We also will review what defines a loss of power simulation and what defines a complete test.Do you know what defines a loss of power test? Do you know what can make or break successful results?We will walk through the essential planning and coordination steps, pre-test, test day and follow-up procedures.Attendees will be able to ask questions, so please come prepared with specific test inquiries.

Today’s presentation will be available to you under the resource tab after the completion of this webinar, along with a brief survey about this event. Please take a few minutes to respond to this survey as it will help us to better meet your training needs.

After completion of the survey you can download your certificate of completion. If additional participants wish to earn continuing education credits please make sure they sign the AIA form and email back to sadams@bcxa.org. There is a $25 fee for each additional participant. As soon as payment has been made each individual will receive an access code to obtain their certificate for credits.
