Learning objectives
- Understand the value of commissioning Technology systems.
- Understand the process for commissioning various Technology systems.
- Evaluate additional Technology options for specific building types.
- Recognize common problems in Technology systems that have not been commissioned.
Commissioning technology systems is an important and often overlooked process. It is not mandated in any codes or standards. However, many buildings have complicated systems that can benefit from the commissioning process. In this presentation, we will discuss commissioning of audio/visual systems, public address systems, and access control systems, as well as when commissioning may be an
important service.
