Mechanical Systems

Ventilation Systems

All air-handling units serving temperature- and humidity-sensitive rooms, including indoor floor-mounted units, suspended fan coil units, ceiling-mounted air-handling units, and installed air-conditioning systems. Also included are all floor- or roof-mounted air-handling units serving noncritical areas. Equipment installed in ventilation system ductwork includes constant- and variable-volume terminal boxes, suspended unit heaters, fire/smoke dampers, and airflow measurement stations.

Cooling Systems

All chillers, cooling towers, and associated water pumps for cooling and condensation. All air-cooled condensers serving air conditioners in computer rooms.

Heating Systems

Hot-water boilers, expansion tanks, and all pumps associated with the hot-water heating system.

Steam Systems

Steam boilers, pressure-reducing valve stations, condensate return pumps, heat exchangers, humidifiers, adiabatic systems, and boiler water supply systems.

Exhaust Systems

All primary general exhaust fan systems, toilet exhaust fan systems, and special exhaust systems. Control systems — the building management system that monitors all commissioned equipment.

Electrical Systems

Emergency Power System

Includes emergency generators, emergency generator load banks, transfer switches, and the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system. Also includes the fuel oil system associated with the emergency generators, including fuel oil storage tanks, day tanks, and fuel oil transfer pumps.

Normal Power System

Including motor control centers, primary switchgear, paralleling switchgear, main distribution boards, outdoor load banks, transformers, and interior and exterior lighting.

Plumbing

Domestic Hot Water

Domestic water heaters, electric water heaters, and, where applicable, domestic hot water circulation pumps.

Domestic Cold Water

Domestic water booster pumps, meters, backflow preventers, and water softening systems.

Sanitary System

Sewage ejector pumps

Stormwater Ejector Pumps

Stormwater pumps

Outdoor Water Systems

Rainwater collection tanks, rainwater filters, and expansion tanks.

Building Envelope

Exterior Wall

Building roof and glazing.

Building Components

Insulation, vapor barriers, and pressure testing.

Life Safety

Security Barriers

Fire-rated assemblies, smoke barriers, and smoke-tight partitions.

Fire Alarm Interface

With life safety systems, fire protection systems, elevators, heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems, as well as workstations, controllers, and sensors.

Fire Protection

Fire pump, jockey pump, fire protection devices, fire alarm systems, and pre-action systems.
