BCxA Commissioning Process Coursework
The Commissioning Process curriculum covers
fundamental concepts of building science and the process of commissioning new
and existing buildings. You will learn how building systems and assemblies
work, how to detect problems, and how to analyze proper building performance.
Online coursework, fulfilled within one year at
your own pace. You will commission real building systems using BCxA-approved
Best Practices.
After successfully completing the online and
on-site modules, you will be awarded (1) AIA Continuing Education Credits for
completed work, and (2) your internationally-recognized Certificate of
Completion from the Building Commissioning Association's BCxA University.
Module 1 – Fundamentals of Commissioning
In this module, participants will learn
fundamental processes of commissioning for new and existing buildings. The
module content focuses on phases of the commissioning process, commissioning
procedures, required documentation and project deliverables. (2 courses, 23
lessons, 5.75 instructional hours)
Module 2: Commissioning Systems & Equipment
In this module, participants will learn the
fundamentals of building system and equipment operations and describe the
various types of building systems and equipment and how these systems operate.
This module discusses the building thermal envelope, facility operating
requirements, facility energy considerations, and energy analysis. Participants
will be introduced to mechanical systems and equipment, including air handling
units, chilled water systems, hot water and steam heating, boilers, chillers,
domestic water systems, electrical systems, and equipment and control systems.
Participants in this module will be able to identify and describe the basic
operation of building systems and equipment. (13 courses, 54 lessons,
approximately 19 instructional hours)
Module 3 – Systems Performance & Analysis
In this module, participants will learn the
performance of the building operation and system design. This module emphasizes
the analysis of air distribution systems, hydronic heating and cooling systems,
electrical systems, control systems, functional performance testing, system
evaluation, and installation requirements. Participants will be able to
identify the building’s operational system design and diagnose common issues
and resolutions. (9 courses, 33 lessons, approximately 12 instructional hours)
