ESRT High Performance Design and Construction Guidelines

6. Implement strategies for HVAC protection, source control, pathway interruptions, housekeeping, and scheduling at least a s rigorous as those detailed in ESRT’s Construction Indoor Air Quality Management Plan. 7. Consider conducting indoor air quality testing after construction is complete and prior to occupancy to demonstrate that contaminant maximum concentrations are not exceeded. At a minimum, testing should be conducted for CO2 and TVOC concentrations. Testing and Commissioning: 1. A third party commissioning agent shall perform commissioning of energy systems within the tenant space or installed as part of the tenant’s lease agreement including, without limitation, lighting, lighting controls, HVAC systems, BMS (including, but not limited to, VFDs, CO2 sensor calibration and DCV BMS and OA tie-in, motorized OA damper tied into DCV and BMS, static pressure or discharge air temperature reset, supply and return air setback schedules, air and water side economizers), Testing and Balancing of air and hydronic systems, functional testing of applicable equipment, and electrical to ensure design optimizes performance and systems are constructed and function per efficient design. 2. A commissioning report shall be submitted to ESRT for review prior to occupancy of the space, and whenever ESRT requests throughout the Term (no more than annually with a target of every 3-5 years), and shall include, but not be limited to, all systems listed above. See below for specific commissioning requirements: a) All batteries in existing wireless sensors and devices shall be replaced during the fitout b) Any existing temperature sensors and CO2 sensors that are to be retained as part of the fitout/renovation shall be checked for calibration with a PE certified report of results c) Outdoor air dampers shall be verified for correct operation and tight shutoff upon completion of the works, including existing dampers d) Verify all individual offices, conference rooms have been provided with independent controls and that the corresponding sensors and controls have been point to point tested e) Verify that the perimeter radiator valves are functioning correctly and that they are being controlled by the correct VAV box and zone temperature sensor f) Verify the panel boards have the correct schedules, and that the CTs have been installed correctly and are displaying with the correct references (load type, board reference) in the Satec and BMS system. g) Verify that water detection and isolation valves have been installed on all chilled water and heating water supply and return pipes to each MER h) Confirm the design flowrate from the AHUs and ERVs and measure the static pressure within the duct at the design flowrate to ensure this is the value entered into the BMS and not a default or random value. i) Verify the maximum and minimum flowrates for the VAV boxes have been setup in the BMS as per the design drawing j) Confirm the location of the temperature sensor/controllers in the IT room is in the cold aisle located out of the airstream k) Measure the lighting levels within the spaces and ensure that the light outputs of each fitting has been adjusted to achieve (not exceed) the designed lighting level. l) Verify the lighting zones are as per the design and that the daylight harvesting has been enabled and is working m) Verify the time schedule has been setup for any lighting zone that is not controlled by occupancy sensors
