This title presents an update of TM 1/88. It notes that the use of specialist HVAC commissioning firms is now common in the UK and states that consensus opinion is that the commissioning specialists' performance is sometimes below that purchased under their terms of engagement or subcontract. The book considers that this state largely exists because the parties in a project do not understand their individual and collective responsibilities for HVAC commissioning occurring at the various stages of a building project. It also suggests that most projects where a HVAC commissioning specialist is to be appointed would benefit from a clear understanding of the division of responsibilities. Sections include commissioning, reporting activities, and the commissioning specialist. Also included is a division of responsibilities schedule for HVAC works.
