ASHRAE | Guideline 0 – Is it worth $100…

Last Updated: August 13, 2023, by

Guideline 0 is aimed squarely at the Commissioning Manager/Provider. Whilst Standard 202 – provides a minimum expectation of delivery; Guideline 0 focuses upon delivering the Cx process by four phases:

  • S1-Pre-Design,
  • S2-Design,
  • S3-Construction,
  • S4-Occupancy and Operations

Our Review

In our opinion, a great guideline for the Commissioning Manager/Provider to constantly reference. A complete commissioning process can be built for any project and business with a little effort and time from this document. With the document being named ‘The Commissioning Process,’ it trumps the other documents written by ASHRAE.

Well worth the $100.00…

Good:

Provides a step by step detailed approach to a Commissioning Process that can be adopted no matter what the project. Templates for documents and checklists are handy to start.

Could do better:

Really nothing that can think of.

Overview:
