Abstract

In Finland, buildings are commissioned mostly in the end of the construction phase. However, the commissioning of building performance is a systematic process which should kick off
already at the pre-design phase and it should be continued through design, construction and acception to occupancy, use, operation and maintenance. During the Cx process, it should be
checked that owner’s and users’ needs and requirements are clearly defined and documented, and indoor and energy performance requirements are included to owner’s program. In
addition, it should be audited that the design solutions and installation outputs meet given requirements, and verified that the building satisfies given indoor and energy requirements in
use. Commissioning should also be included as an essential part of a systematic facility management process over the building life cycle.

This paper describes a systematic process for commissioning building energy performance and indoor conditions. The Cx process is developed to be applied in Finland. In addition,
checklists for each commissioning phase for a commissioning manager were developed. Also preparation of a Cx plan, and options for a Cx team and examples of task responsibilities are
briefly discussed.
