Standard 202 – “Commissioning Process for Building and Systems” is published by ASHRAE / *ANSI / **IES. It is written to standardize the minimum requirements of a commissioning process to be deployed within a building and its systems.
*ANSI – Approved American National Standard / ** IES – Illuminating Engineering Society
As noted above, the standard provides a minimum process that can be adapted to deliver a level of commissioning process into a project. It focuses upon:
- the minimum activities required for design, development, construction, operation, and modification of buildings, and it’s systems
- provides a base for processes, activities, and sequences
- establishes responsibilities, deliverables, and expected documentation/records
Our Review
In our opinion, we would generally lean towards ASHRAE Guideline 0 if looking to implement a commissioning process as it is, in our opinion, easier to follow and provides more structure/information.
Not really worth $87.00.
Good:
Provides a high-level document that sets a standard that can be adapted easily no matter what the project.
Could do better:
The information contained is also mainly covered within Guideline 0, could align so then only need to purchase 1 document. If looking for a complete process, then we would suggest investigating ASHRAE Guideline 0.
