Advanced New Building Construction Commissioning – NBCx
The practise of commissioning newly built structures has developed into a mature industry standard. In order to define and make the commissioning process more clear, many types of codes, standards, guidelines, procedures, and certificates have been developed. There have been some enhancements, modifications, redefinitions, or de-emphasis placed on the process’ essential components, and there have also been some new components added. There are some components that are not properly understood or implemented.
After that, the Beyond Smart Cities Commissioning Specialist came to the conclusion that writing a best practises document would be beneficial in helping to condense the extensive list of guidelines and even more extensive list of tasks into primary activities that represent the ideal commissioning process and are applicable to the majority of building types and projects.
This Advanced New Building Construction Commissioning (NBCx) course will walk you through each stage of the New Building Commissioning process, after which you will have the option to take an exam on the material.
The Advanced New Building Construction Commissioning – NBCx Training was prepared by Krishnaji Pawar, CEO and founder of Beyond Smart Cities.
In addition to covering the principles of mechanical systems and demonstrating effective testing and verification practises, it educates students on building commissioning and the benefits of doing so. Building commissioning service providers, operating staff, energy managers, and engineering experts, as well as commercial and institutional building operators, can benefit tremendously from participating in this programme.
The course will focus on a broad process of commissioning new construction that can be applied to the majority of building systems and assemblies. It is process-driven, with some leeway for flexibility to accommodate one-of-a-kind circumstances, and if a practise appears confused as a result of its various application, further clarification is provided.
The course provides a description of the suggested method of commissioning but does not offer any advise on the systems that ought to be commissioned or the particular rigour that ought to be applied because these are project-specific considerations. The one and only noticeable exception to this rule is the detailed discussion of building automation systems and controls. This is due to the fact that these aspects of a building have been and will continue to be the primary focus of the majority of building commissioning projects.
Learning Objectives:
- Introduction and course description
- Discover the pre-design phase
- Recognizing the Design Phase
- Understand the Construction Phase
- Understanding the Phases of Occupancy and Operations
- Advantages and Objectives of Commissioning
- Management and the Commissioning Process
- Resources and Synopsis
Comprehensive building commissioning, initially created for HVAC systems, is the idea that new construction building commissioning is now used for all building systems. Its usage is expanding. The commissioning process is currently required for new construction and renovations by a large number of government agencies and large enterprises. Large multi-unit residential building owners, as well as owners of institutional, commercial, and industrial buildings, are required to use quality management tools and process systems that meet their requirements, stay within their allocated budgets and timelines, and reduce operating issues in newly built or renovated facilities.
The main goals of the new building commissioning process are covered in this course, including improved quality and value while also lowering building and process construction costs. Also, you will learn how to apply better planning and communication strategies from the time a project is conceived through at least one year of building occupancy or process operation.
The course demonstrates how commissioning reduces conflicts, change orders, end-of-project conflicts, and punch lists throughout the first year of operations by explicitly identifying the owner’s project goals. As a building owner, you can be confident that you’ll have high-quality building systems, useful operations and maintenance manuals, and trained operational staff if you use the commissioning procedure.
