ABSTRACT
Ongoing commissioning (OCx) is a continuation of the initial commissioning processes during the occupancy and O&M phase. Implementing ongoing commissioning practices within operations is one of the key steps in creating a smart building. Ongoing commissioning contributes to a building’s operation and maintenance. Unfortunately, even today people have too much reactive maintenance in buildings, i.e. simply responding to day-to-day issues. Ongoing commissioning is a core part of proactive maintenance. It includes activities that look for issues before they become a bigger problem like reduction in indoor environmental quality or hidden energy or water consuming systems. Efficient data monitoring and measurements enable Monitoring-Based ongoing commissioning of the building. Continuous monitoring is typically planned during the initial design and measurements are integrated into Building Management System. Random measurements are typically related to some unexpected incident, like water leakage, heavy storm, flooding or fire.
