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.

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.

TRUE DEFINITION OF ASSET MANAGEMENT
•All mechanical systems are made of assets buried or visible,
• Assets lose value over time as systems age & deteriorate,
•Difficulty to deliver the service that the customer wants,
•O & M increase and utility or owner faces excessive costs,
•Utility, owner or company cannot afford and goes down,
•Therefore Asset Management assists in making right decisions
in managing aging assets whether renew, rehab or disposal.
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.

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.
