Course Description

You know about the allowable watts for lighting and about the required controls for lighting, now learn about the required paperwork! Yes, Title 24 requires paperwork and lots of it. “Passing grades” are required by the designer, commissioning agent, manufacturers and vendors, installing contractor, and acceptance testing technician.

Any failures means no Occupancy Certificate.

Learning Objectives

• Learn about the quantity of required Certificates.

• Review the Certificates required of the Designer, CxA, Installer and Tester.

• Clarify the Commissioning Process.

• Examine the requirements for Manufacturers, Suppliers and Builders.

• BUILDING COMMISSIONING is a systematic quality assurance process that spans the entire design and construction process, including verifying and documenting that building systems and components are planned, designed, installed, tested, operated and maintained to meet the owner’s project requirements.

Sec 100.1 Definitions

23

Sec 120.8 Building Commissioning

• For buildings less than 10,000 sf, design phase design review may be completed by the design engineer PE.

• Buildings between 10,000sf and 50,000 sf require completion of the Design Review Checklist by either an engineer PE in‐house to the design firm but not associated with the building project, or a third party design engineer PE.

• For buildings larger than 50,000 sf or for buildings with complex mechanical systems, an independent, review of these documents by a third party design engineer PE is required.
