ASHRAE | STANDARD 202 - Is It Worth $100... - Constructandcommission.com

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.
