3.10 PERFORMANCE MONITORING, OPTIMIZATION, AND REPORTING (Cx-PMOR) SYSTEM
A. Objectives and Scope:1. This project will utilize a cloud-based SaaS (Software as a Service) Commissioning,
Performance Monitoring, Optimization, and Reporting (Cx-PMOR) system which is provided by the CxA. The system shall be utilized during two phases of the project: Construction Phase and Warranty Phase.
B. Construction Phase - System Readiness: 1. The Cx-PMOR System will be utilized prior to Functional Performance Testing to gauge
the readiness of the systems to be tested. 2. At least 2 weeks prior to the scheduled start of Functional Testing the Building Automation
System (BAS) shall have delivered two weeks of operating data to the Cx-PMOR System. If the BAS communication capabilities are not complete sufficiently to enable automated delivery of trend reports then the Controls Contractor shall manually generate two weeks trend data to a report. This manual report shall be the SAME EXACT REPORT FORMAT as was prior approved and will be used for the permanent reporting (specified elsewhere herein). This manual report shall either be e-mailed to the CxA or shall be e-mailed to the project’s specific Cx-PMOR e-mail account.
3. Following receipt of two weeks of operating data (either automatically or manual) the CxA shall review the data utilizing the Cx-PMOR System to assess the readiness of the specific system to begin on-site Functional Testing.
4. The CxA shall notify the project team of any deficiencies identified by the trend data analysis that would need to be addressed prior to beginning Functional Testing.
C. Warranty Phase – Monitoring: 1. The Cx-PMOR System will be utilized during the first year following substantial
completion to monitor the performance of the building and the individual systems. The Cx-PMOR System will also provide Fault Detection and Diagnostics Analysis to locate operational problems.
2. Any operational deficiency identified by the system will be documented using the system’s online Issue Log and the deficiency will be resolved through the contract’s Project Warranty process.
3. CxA will conduct quarterly site visits with CT to review operational issues and identify additional optimization strategies indicated by the Cx-PMOR Monitoring conductive to energy savings and improving or correcting comfort issues.
4. At approximately 10 months following substantial completion the CxA shall provide a comprehensive review of the system operation using the Cx-PMOR System to analyze the data provided from the BAS. An updated Warranty Phase Issue Log shall be generated, and the GC shall resolve all issues determined by the team to be subject to Warranty requirements.
3.11 FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE TESTING
A. Objectives and Scope:
1. The objective of Functional Performance Testing is to demonstrate each system is operating according to documented design intent and Contract Documents. Functional Performance Testing facilitates bringing systems from a state of substantial completion to full dynamic

BUILDING SYSTEMS COMMISSIONING 01 9113 - 24
operation. Additionally, during Functional Performance Testing, areas of deficient performance are identified and corrected, improving operation and functioning of systems.
2. Each system shall be operated through all modes of operation (occupied, unoccupied, warm-up, cool-down, etc.) where there is a specified system response. Verifying each sequence in the sequences of operation is required.
3. Functional Performance Testing is separate from and in addition to any other Start-Up, testing, demonstration or contractor commissioning required by other sections of the project specifications.
4. The Functional Performance Tests will be executed by the GC, Subcontractors, Controls/BAS Contractor, TAB Contractor and Equipment Vendors. The CxA will witness the Functional Performance Testing and document the results in the Cx Database.
B. Initial Control Systems Checkout:
1. The control systems must be verified for correct operation by the Control System Subcontractor prior to the CxA witnessing and documenting the Functional Performance
Tests. The CxA Functional Performance Tests are intended to document completion of the Control System and proper operation of the Commissioned Systems. The CxA Functional Performance Tests are not intended to serve as a “Quality Control” measure or “Punch List” for the General Contractor, Controls Contractor or other Subcontractor. The CxA Functional Performance Tests are not intended to serve as “Beta” testing for the Control Systems.
2. The Control Systems Subcontractor shall sign/initial and date a copy of the Cx Plan FPT forms prior to verification by CxA. Only individuals having direct knowledge that a line item task or sequence of operation was performed or checked will initial or check that item off. The Control Systems Subcontractor shall list any FPT sequences or items not completed successfully utilizing the notes section of the FPT form. These notes shall clearly indicate why the item or sequence was not completed or operated as indicated on the FPT form.
3. The intent of this process is for the Control Systems Subcontractor to physically check and verify proper equipment and integrated systems operation for all operational sequences prior to the CxA witnessing and documenting the actual Functional Performance Testing.
C. Coordination and Scheduling:
1. Prior to equipment Start-Up, CxA will conduct a Commissioning Functional Testing Schedule Meeting with the Commissioning Team to establish a coordinated approach to the integration of the Functional Performance Testing activities within the Master Construction Schedule. The GC will update the Master Construction Schedule to include all Functional Performance Testing activities.
2. GC will provide sufficient notice to CxA regarding completion schedule for equipment and systems. GC will schedule Functional Performance Tests with CT. CxA shall witness and document functional testing of equipment and systems. Subcontractor shall execute tests under direction of CxA.
3. GC must allow sufficient time in the Construction Schedule to complete the Functional Performance Testing prior to Owner move-in/occupancy. This includes completing the commissioned systems installations, Testing, Start-Up, and all prerequisites required for Functional Performance Testing. Time and expenses for CxA to complete Functional Performance Testing during Owner move-in or after Owner occupancy will be considered Additional Services to be paid by the GC.

BUILDING SYSTEMS COMMISSIONING 01 9113 - 25
4. Functional Performance Tests are integrated systems tests. For example, the Fire Alarm System must be complete and ready for operation to test the RTU Fire Alarm shutdown sequence. All equipment and systems associated with a Functional Performance Test must be complete and ready for testing.
5. In general, the Functional Performance Testing will be organized/scheduled based on the following hierarchy:
a. Project completion. Some areas of the building may be complete before other areas. Priority will be given to these area systems assuming they can be grouped together for integrated systems testing.
b. Integrated systems. In general, the testing will be organized into groups of integrated systems from larger systems down to smaller systems (e.g. chilled water system, air handling system, terminal units, etc.).
c. Systems with limited integration and “stand alone” systems (e.g. unit heater or fan only being monitored by the building control system).
6. Functional Performance Tests will be grouped together to allow testing to be conducted over weekly testing periods to maximize testing efficiencies. Single systems testing spread out over multiple testing weeks will not be allowed. In general, the testing will begin on Monday and end on Friday afternoon. The actual testing hours will be coordinated with the GC/Subcontractors based on the amount of testing work to be completed during that week. GC/Subcontractors should be prepared to work from 8:00AM to 5:00PM each day to complete the testing for that weekly period.
7. Some systems may require testing after normal working hours (e.g. Lighting Controls, etc.) to avoid conflicts with ongoing work or adjacent building operations. This testing will be scheduled for evenings (Monday – Thursday) or early mornings (Tuesday – Friday). Weekend testing will only be allowed if agreed upon by CT in advance.
D. Prerequisites for Functional Performance Testing:
1. Pre-Functional Checklists must be 100% complete - including any deficiency corrections
noted from CxA sample verifications – and submitted to CxA as a prerequisite to scheduling Functional Performance Tests.
2. The GC/Subcontractors must submit the fully executed Start-Up Plan electronic PDF files including all equipment and systems testing documentation (e.g. duct and piping pressure testing, cleaning/flushing documentation, etc.), and all executed start up and initial check-out documentation as a prerequisite to scheduling Functional Performance Tests.
3. The TAB Subcontractor shall complete all Test and Balance work and submit Final Test and Balance Report for review by A/E and CxA prior to start of Commissioning Functional Testing. A/E shall review Final Test and Balance Report for acceptance. CxA review of Final TAB Report is cursory (not for acceptance) and is primarily intended to ensure that the equipment and systems are ready to be functionally tested.
4. The GC/Control Contractor must submit all control systems Start-Up and initial checkout documentation (including point-to-point verifications, etc.) in the Start-Up Plan as a prerequisite to scheduling Functional Performance Tests.
5. The GC/Control Contractor must submit executed copies of the Commissioning Functional Performance Tests (signed and dated by the Control Contractor technician directly responsible for verification of the control sequence or system operation) to the CxA as a prerequisite to scheduling Functional Performance Tests (to show that the Control Contractor has tested and verified each sequence prior to CxA witnessing the Functional Performance Tests).

6. The GC/Control Contractor must complete BAS system trending data set-up and reporting set-up for Cx-PMOR System and submit two weeks of operating data (either automatically or manually) for CxA review to assess the readiness of the specific system to begin on-site Functional Testing. Operating data must be submitted at least 7 days prior to anticipated start of Functional Testing.
E. Test and Balance (TAB) Verification:
1. Initial TAB Verification test will include a random sampling of all TAB final report air and water readings. TAB Subcontractor will re-read devices with the same equipment used in the TAB process in the presence of the CxA. The devices will be selected at random by the CxA and the CxA will record the TAB Verification readings. All Verification readings must be within ±10% of final TAB report readings.
2. Readings outside of the ±10% tolerance in more than 10% of the TAB Verification readings will indicate failure of the initial TAB Verification testing and require re-testing. TAB Subcontractor will correct all deficient readings and schedule TAB Verification re-testing with CxA. The CxA will randomly select a different sample of the TAB final report readings for the Verification re-testing.
3. Readings outside of the ±10% tolerance in more than 10% of the TAB Verification re-testing readings will indicate failure of the Verification re-test and will require a second re-testing. TAB Subcontractor will correct all deficient readings and schedule second TAB Verification re-testing with CxA. The TAB Verification re-testing procedures will be repeated a second time again utilizing a different sample of the final TAB report readings selected at random by the CxA.
4. Readings outside of the ±10% tolerance in more than 10% of the second TAB Verification re-testing readings will require TAB Verification retesting for all the TAB final report readings.
5. All TAB verification retesting will be completed at no additional cost to the Owner. See paragraphs below for CxA costs for retesting.
3.12 DOCUMENTATION, NON-CONFORMANCE AND APPROVAL OF TESTS
A. Documentation:
1. CxA will witness and document results of FPT utilizing Cx Database. FPTs are made available to the Commissioning Team in Cx Database for review and approval prior to testing. CxA will include the executed FPTs in the Final Commissioning Report.
