Description

ASHRAE Guideline 0 presents best practices for applying whole-building commissioning to facilities. The principles and processes included apply to all phases of new construction and renovation projects and provide a uniform, integrated, and consistent approach to commissioning. ASHRAE Guideline 0 includes the Total Building Commissioning Process (TBCxP) as defined by National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) in its Commissioning Process Guideline 0.

The 2013 edition of the guideline addresses changes to project delivery systems resulting from the evolution of whole-building commissioning in the life cycle and sustainable measurement and verification processes. It emphasizes the role of the owner in clearly documenting the Owner’s Project Requirements so they may be transferred to design criteria and construction documents in a way that provides consistency and continuity throughout the scope of the project. The roles and responsibilities of the owner and Commissioning Authority have been further outlined, and annexes have been updated to assist in further understanding the commissioning process.
