This could include: Searching for building documents as installed drawings, O&M manuals, – maintenance log, system schematics, operational matrix, fire matrix, BMCS functional descriptions including documenting the actual control measures and the performance outcomes. Surveying staff and contractors questioning the current operations team – to identify common comfort and operational complaints or where small improvements can be made. Making immediate improvements such as calibrating controls and – sensors, resetting damper and positions and verifying control set points and time clocks. Collecting metering and monitoring information fundamental operational – data such as how much water, fuel and energy the building and its individual systems is actually using. Benchmarking critical to establish a baseline data on to measure – overall building performance and improvements made as a result of the retrocommissioning process. Measurements could include: Electrical energy Gas Fuel oil Water BMCS trends (pinpoint weekly, monthly, quarterly, annual trends) Air and readings relating to the initial design specification and/or commissioning data in O&M manual. For this exercise, note down answers and information from the discussion. EXERCISE 7 Note from the discussion how to best capture and record baseline data?
