Commissioning Checklist

by Vinetia Taffa, from the Community

This commissioning checklist helps teams verify the safety, installation quality, and performance of building MEP systems. It covers HVAC equipment checks for cabinets, coils, condensate drainage, sensors, fans, dampers, compressors, and ductwork; electrical and controls validation with BAS interlocks; testing, adjusting, and balancing steps; pumping systems with VFD setup and operation; piping installation, pressure testing, valves, sensors, and insulation; and lighting fixtures and controls. Use it to document sequences of operation, point-to-point checks, and acceptance sign-offs.

HVAC Commissioning Checklist
Use this HVAC commissioning checklist to verify the installation, setup, and performance of building HVAC systems before handover. Sections cover programmable thermostats, DX air cooled condensing units, VAV terminals, and variable air volume handling units. Verify power availability, motor rotation, safety protections, and interlocks; check refrigerant piping, coil condition, condensate drainage, and maintenance clearances. Confirm control valves and dampers are installed and operable, sensors are correctly located and calibrated, and air volume controllers function. Complete Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing, submit TAB reports, and validate airflow results against design drawings. Capture completion notes and sign-offs from the inspector, installer, and contractor to document a safe, efficient start up.

Chiller Pre-Functionality Checklist for Commissioning
Use this chiller pre functionality checklist to guide pre startup and commissioning of HVAC chillers. Record key equipment details and verify documentation such as manufacturers cut sheets, performance data, installation and startup plan, OM manuals, factory test results, control sequences, and warranty. Inspect general condition, vibration isolators, seismic restraints, oil filter, and leaks. Confirm piping is independently supported, labeled with type and flow, and fitted with isolation and balancing valves and required specialties. Check electrical and control items including disconnects, tight connections, safeties, starters, control devices, and interlocks. Validate sensors and gauges for temperature, pressure, and flow, and ensure BAS readouts match panel instruments. Includes links to associated checklists for condenser and chilled water pumps, BAS, condenser and chilled water piping, and cooling towers. Useful for contractors, commissioning teams, and LEED CxA workflows.
