Owner has employed an independent Commissioning Authority (CxA). The Commissioning Authority is an independent and knowledgeable third party, hired to verify that the systems being commissioned work as intended. The Commissioning Authority will inform the Owner and Architect of the results of the Commissioning Process and provide suggestions, as necessary, to correct deficiencies in observed performance or installation. The Commissioning Process is a quality-oriented process for achieving, verifying and documenting that the performance of facilities, systems, and assemblies meets defined objectives and criteria. The Contractor is responsible for participation in the Commissioning Process as outlined in the Drawings and general provisions of the Contract, including General and Supplementary Conditions and other Division 01 Specification Sections. The Contractor is responsible to furnish labor and materials sufficient to meet all requirements of building commissioning under this contract. Commissioning is a quality-focused process for enhancing the delivery of a project. Commissioning does not serve as a guarantee, certification, warranty, etc. of performance by equipment, components, assemblies, or systems constructed and designed by others. If this specification section, or other commissioning specifications, conflict with other sections, or are duplicated, the more stringent requirement(s) shall always apply. a. Domestic Hot Water. b. Advanced Energy Metering. c. Lighting and Daylighting Controls. d. Emergency Power. e. Lift Safety Systems. f. Fire Protection Systems.

Integrated Systems Tests are tested under various modes, such as fire alarm and emergency situations, life safety conditions, power failure, etc. Components are verified to be responding in all specified sequences of operation. Components are verified to be responding in accordance with Contract Documents. Integrated System Tests are part of the Functional Performance Testing process, and provide verification that the integrated systems will properly function according to the Contract Documents. Integrated System Tests are executed after FPTs for each of the sub-systems and components are complete, and prior to Substantial Completion. 1.4.1.10 ITA Integrated Testing Agent - for this project, the CxA and ITa are the same entity, and will be referred to as "CxA" throughout this specification. 1.4.1.11 Major Equipment Group14 will determine which equipment is deemed as major versus supplemental. In general, Major Equipment includes, but may not be limited to: air-handling units; rooftop units; central heating, cooling and condenser water plants; dedicated outside air systems; exhaust systems serving pressurized spaces; domestic hot water plants; and make-up air units. 1.4.1.12 MBCx Monitoring-Based Commissioning. 1.4.1.13 M & V Measurement and Verification. 1.4.1.14 OPR Owner's Project Requirements.
