2012 Canadian Society of Value Analysis Conference, Calgary, Alberta; October 2012 Why Commissioning and VM lead to efficient Asset Management Rock J. Antonios, PE, CBCP, AVS CH2M HILL DFW/Dallas Rock.Antonios@CH2M.com Rjantonios.PE@gmail.com iPhone: (914) 882-7766 Commissioning ASHRAE Guideline 0-2005 Scope of Work The owner has adopted the Cx process as his/her quality process to plan, design, construct and operate his facility as TQM. Cx process provides tools to enable everyone involved in the construction of the facility to verify that the OPR are met. CA applies ASHRAE Guideline 1.1-2007 for technical requirements of the Cx process. Cx: TQM: OPR: CA: BOD: BMS: TAB: Commissioning Total Quality Management Owner's Project Requirements Commissioning Agent Basis Of Design Building Management System Testing And Balancing Prepared by: Rock J. Antonios, PE, CBCP, AVS October 2012 1 Cx process during Pre-design phase Cx activities completed by CA include once Cx team is formed: • Developing and documenting the OPR. • Identifying a scope and budget for the Cx process. • Developing the initial Cx plan. • Acceptance of pre-design phase Cx activities. rja oct 2012 2 Cx process during Design phase Cx activities completed by CA include: • Work with Cx team to document the OPR for the facility, • Work with the design professionals in documenting the BOD, • Verify the BOD with regard to OPR, • Develop a Cx plan encompassing Design, Construction, Occupancy and Operations phases, • Determine the Cx requirements to include in construction documents and review by design team for integration into the specifications • Review design documentation developed by the design professionals, • Perform quality design review at 35%, 50%, 95% and 100%. rja oct 2012 3 Cx process during Construction phase Cx activities accomplished by CA include: • Organizes & schedules meetings to review the Cx process, • Develops the scope and coordinate, • Reviews submittals concurrent with the designers, • Completes checklist with contractors, • Verifies construction checklist to comply with OPR, • Develops specific test procedures & review with contractors, • Directs the execution of the tests performed by contractors, (See next slide) rja oct 2012 4 Cx process during Construction phase (cont.) • Documents the results of the tests after BMS & TAB are installed, • Documents the corrections and retesting of noncompliance items by the contractor, • Reviews the systems manual, • Reviews, pre-approves & verifies the training provided by contractors, • Verifies delivery of the Systems Manual. rja oct 2012 5 Cx process during Occupancy & Operations phase Cx activities accomplished by CA include: • Schedules and verifies testing deferred by Contractor, • Verifies continuing training, • Review of warranties two months before their expiration, • Schedules organizes attends lessons learned given by another team member, • Completes the Final Cx Report. rja oct 2012 6 Cx Benefits to the Project • • • • • • • • Less litigation. LEED credit points. Higher quality products, minimize breakdowns. Healthy buildings improve productivity. Energy savings and better reputation. Monitoring activities and “where do we stand” status. Reduction of operations and maintenance costs. Consistent documentation from inception – occupancy. rja oct 2012 7 CA Limit of Responsibility The CA documents OPR and design concept, design criteria, verifies that Code Consultant is on board for compliance with codes. CA is not responsible for design or general construction scheduling, cost estimating or construction management. CA assists with problems solving but responsibility resides with the General Contractor and design Professionals. rja oct 2012 8 VALUE METHODOLOGY PROCESS INFORMATION PHASE FIND OBJECTIVES, DEFINE SCOPE, COSTS FACTS.

Benefits of Asset Management •Better operational decisions and improved 911responses, •Plan and pay for future repairs and replacements, •Increased knowledge of assets location and critical ones, •Efficient op and communication with customers & capital improvement projects to meet true needs of the system. 18 rja oct 2012 ASSET MANAGEMENT GOALS IN MANAGING INFRASTRUCTURE ASSETS MEET THE REQUIRED LEVEL OF SERVICE IN COST EFFECTIVE MANNER PRESENT AND FUTURE WITH KEY ELEMENTS AS FOLLOWS: •Taking a life cycle approach, •Developing cost-effective management strategies for the long term, •Providing a defined level of service and monitoring performance, •Understanding and meeting the demands of growth thru infrastructure investment, •Managing risks with asset failures, •Sustainable use of physical resources, •Continuous improvement in asset management practices. rja oct 2012 19 VISION Support community learning; health, social and environmental well-being and economic growth, ensuring a sustainable future for all. MISSION Provide leadership, direction and responsible stewardship of resources and delivery of cost efficient key services to our community. rja oct 2012 20 USEFUL LIFE 21 LIKELIHOOD OF FAILURE VS. COST OF FAILURE 22 Basic options for dealing with the actual assets over time: 1. Operate and maintain the existing assets. 2. Repair the assets as they fail. 3. Rehabilitate the assets. 4. Replace the assets. 23 Operation and Maintenance Expenditure by Criticality Expenditure Percentage of the Total Expenditure Asset A B C D O&M Dollars $5 $15 $30 $50 Out of a $100 dollar 5% 15% 30% 50% High Likelihood of Failure B D A Low C High Consequences of Failure 24 Conclusion: Commissioning and Value Methodology applied sciences to a project or a system improve quality, enable savings and lead to comprehensive, innovative and sustainable Asset Management.
