Specialty Services:
BUILDING COMMISSIONING (COMMISSIONING OF NEW BUILDINGS)
• Program Development (Planning): Involves the development of program; assisting in the selection of project team; and
development of preliminary commissioning plan.
• Design Phase: Assistance is given in selection of desired system configuration; reviewing the design; and developing
commissioning specification.
• Construction Phase: Activities for the commissioning authority are focused on preparation for the acceptance-phase testing
procedures. The goal during the construction phase is to complete the installation efficiently, with minimal problems to hamper
acceptance-phase activities. Commissioning tasks during construction include: submittal review, construction observations,
commission meetings, and test procedures development
• Start-up and Testing/Acceptance and Turnover: This is where, so to speak, the rubber hits the road with the
commissioning process. As mentioned previously, the focus of all preceding commissioning activities is to enable the
acceptance tests to occur with minimal problems. Commissioning responsibilities during the acceptance phase include: startup and pre-verification tests, verification of control device function, TAB issues, verification tests, functional performance tests,
coordination of operator training, and systems manual development.
• First Year Operation (Warranty Period): Ongoing Operation, Maintenance, Repair and Modification - Commissioning
should be considered an ongoing endeavor. After construction is finished, testing procedures are complete, all the building
systems are operating in an optimal manner, and the Owner has accepted the project, there is still a need to monitor
performance and modify control strategies when use patterns or load profiles change. There are many types of changes that
are likely to occur over time that can negatively affect the performance. Ongoing commissioning and long-term performance
monitoring can help ensure optimal performance throughout the life of the facility.
RETRO-COMMISSIONING
• Planning Phase: Development of the Retro-Commissioning goals, facility requirements, and a commissioning plan.
• Investigation Phase: Field inspections, data gathering, testing and analysis to accurately assess system performance and
identify improvement opportunities.
• Implementation Phase: The desired facility improvements are completed and the results and performance are verified.
• Turnover Phase: The systematic transition from a commissioning activity and the Commissioning Team to standard
operating practice and the O&M team.
• Persistence Phase: Implementation of systems and tools to support both the persistence of benefits and continuous
performance improvement over time.
RE-COMMISSIONING
• Planning Phase: Gathering of design data such as; the basis of design document; engineering documents; commissioning
documents; TAB reports; O&M Manuals. Documentation from the original commissioning effort including verification test
procedures, functional test procedures, and equipment checklists are reviewed for reuse in the re-commissioning effort.
Interviews with the building occupants and maintenance staff are conducted. From the documents and interviews a
commissioning plan is developed.
Investigation
Phase: Completion of field inspections, data gathering, testing and analysis to accurately assess system
•
performance and identify improvement opportunities.
• Implementation Phase: The desired facility improvements are completed and the results and performance are verified.
When system performance data is not available manufacturer’s equipment performance data will be used. Data gathered
during the Implementation Phase will be included in the Systems manual.
• Turnover Phase: Systematic transition from a commissioning activity and the Commissioning Team to standard operating
practice and the building / facility / owner team.
• Persistence Phase: The tools to support the benefits and continuous performance benefits are implemented.

SPECIALTY SERVICES
Operation and Troubleshooting of HVAC System. All of our Commissioning personnel have extensive experience in
the installation, operation, repair, preventive maintenance, and Commissioning of HVAC Systems and Building
Automation Systems for all types of buildings. This allows our team members to assist the contractors during the testing
phase to quickly and efficiently determine operating problems and implement resolutions.
Control Systems Optimization. Our Commissioning team has valuable experience in all aspects of control systems
optimization. Members of our team have been involved with sustainable designs for over 15 years, while others are
previous employees of major controls and contracting companies. While the typical project's controls are written to
simply "turn equipment off and on", we work with the design team, along with the equipment manufacturers, to
determine the "sweet spots" in operation and perform computer systems modeling to look at the control sequence's
affect on the whole system and not just a single component.
Building Operations and Maintenance. Many of our Commissioning Engineers and technicians have "hands-on"
experience in operations & maintenance procedures along with a Facilities Management background. Some of our
clients find it difficult to hire qualified operations personnel, thus they have asked our firm to review their mechanical
and electrical operations. As an example, we recently assisted a major insurance company in conducting a nationwide
Facilities Operations Program for their various sites. The program involved H.F. Lenz Company personnel conducting
site audits to review standard operating procedures, preventive maintenance programs, and service agreements.
The systems were put through various operational and failure scenarios, results documented, improvements
recommended, and final reports issued. We then conducted training workshops with the owner's personnel to review
findings and provide training on proper system operation.
Writing Commissioning Specifications and Test Procedures. Commissioning specifications and test procedures are
written by our Commissioning Authority and/or Commissioning Engineers for all projects in which the firm has been
hired as the Commissioning Provider.
Energy Modeling. Based on information provided by the Client, H.F. Lenz Company prepares energy models using
Trane Trace™ 700 software. The model compares the energy performance of the proposed building design against the
ASHRAE 90.1-2004 base building. The energy model will be based on the Performance Rating Method described in the
Standard and as required by the U.S. Green Building Council to document energy cost savings for LEED™ v2.2 Energy
and Atmosphere Credit 1.
Measurement and Verification Plans. H.F. Lenz Company develops and implements Measurement and Verification
(M&V) Plans consistent with Option D: Calibrated Simulation (Savings Estimation Method 2) as specified in the
International Performance Measurement & Verification Protocol (IPMVP), Volume III: Concepts and Options for
Determining Energy Savings in New Construction, April 2003. The M&V plan covers a period of one year after
commissioning of the building is completed.
Energy Auditing Services. H.F. Lenz Company has been conducting Energy Audits since the early 1970s.
Facilities audited include colleges and universities, school districts, hospitals, office buildings, and state and federal
government facilities. When conducting an Energy Audit, our engineers evaluate the condition and operating efficiency
of mechanical and electrical equipment throughout the facility. Also studied are architectural elements including the
building envelop. Equipment records of energy consumption and pattern of use are also evaluated. Energy
conservation measures are identified, prioritized, and presented to the Owner along with cost estimates and length of
the payback period.

SPECIALITY SERVICES
Commissioning is a structured quality process for achieving, validating, and documenting that a facility and its
systems are designed, installed, tested, and capable of being operated and maintained in conformity with the
Universities Project Requirements. As the Universities’ Commissioning Agent, we make certain that happens.
Our Specialty Services and Basic Services are homogenous during performance of Commissioning.
To summarize from our Performance Narrative, we offer the following:
Implementing the four phases of the Building Commissioning Process, URS will:
• Planning Phase
Develop project requirements for function, operation, occupant needs,
and construction budget.
• Design Phase
Have Construction Contract Documents meet the Basis of Design as well
as Commissioning Standards and logic for testing procedures and training
of the Universities’ operations and maintenance personnel.
• Construction Phase
According to the Commissioning Plan, we develop functional testing
checklists to be used by the Contractors. Accurate and complete
recordation is essential.
• Post-Construction Phase
This phase of the work would include any deferred, seasonal, or prewarranty expiration testing.
