	The best commissioning process is one that is planned from the project’s very inception. Designing in the ability to commission systems properly from the outset can provide huge benefits, especially on cost and performance.

	LCBP projects that were run by a knowledgeable, interested client, and where a commissioning consultant had been appointed to oversee the process enjoyed a building with better performance and fewer ongoing defects. Others, where there was no follow through from those involved during the construction, tended to suffer performance penalities. These penalties were usually seen in energy consumption being much higher than the design prediction, and low levels of occupant satisfaction with comfort factors, such as temperature, air quality and noise.

	Above: The new professional’s view of commissioning overlain on the old leave-it-to-the- last-minute approach to commissioning. The commissioning plan is started at the early stage of the project, and populated with detail as it becomes available. This approach calls on project professionals to plan early, reality-check as they go along, prepare fully for handover, and follow through after occupation to fine-tune and resolve issues as they emerge.

	Above: How not to install an electrical sub-meter: at toe level on the distribution board. This happened on each floor of an office block, studied by the Carbon Trust. It might not have mattered had the BMS been set up to read the meter pulses correctly. It wasn’t. The BMS was found to miss around 60 per cent of the meter pulses. Sadly it’s not unusual.
