Introduction:

This paper is focusing on employing rating systems to guide the

process of the operation and maintenance for buildings. The LEED

fundamental commissioning is discussed briefly while a detailed

explanation for the processes, tasks and responsibilities of each

stakeholder in building projects is presented.

Introduction:

Rating systems are groups of

requirements for projects. Each

group is geared towards the unique

needs of a project. Projects earn

points to satisfy green building

requirements. Within each of the

LEED credit categories, projects

must satisfy prerequisites and earn

points

Commissioning:

While the focus of the commissioning includes individual equipment

or systems, it is considered a holistic approach emphasizing the

connections between components and the overall building energy

efficiency .

Commissioning assure having a good level of maintenance,
