Non-traditional data-driven commissioning processes such as bench testing and real-time acceptance criteria can deliver the project on time successfully and to the owner's performance criteria, despite significant challenges.

This presentation will provide a case study in delivering a 220,000 sf healthcare facility where in addition to the traditional commissioning rolesthe project used an MEP and Controls coordinator. Their use of real-time analytics provided clear performance-driven direction to the contractors for a more efficient and impactful resolution of issues. 

Hearing from the contractor, owner, commissioning provider, and MEPC systems coordinator, we will discuss: 1) What traditional and non-traditional commissioning tools were used to focus on completion, quality, and performance.  2) utilize data-driven tools such as bench testing, real-time analytics, and acceptance criteria to increase efficiency and meet project deadlines.  3)  hire dedicated MEP and controls coordination to add value 4) Use our lessons learned on their next project.

Learning Objectives:

1. Detail the steps necessary for low-stress analytics integration with the building automation system to a new construction project, regardless of which party is championing their integration.
2. Describe how clear performance criteria and analytics can bring efficiency to project delivery teams and improve owner confidence in a project at turnover.
3. Recognize the need for controls coordination, which party should be performing this coordination, and what tools can be used to facilitate coordination
4. Summarize the lessons learned for various project team roles on successfully including analytics into project delivery procurement and planning.
