This video highlights the importance of early, cross-disciplinary commissioning to address the unique system coordination challenges of aquatic centers.
Learning objectives
- Understand the challenges and opportunities offered by aquatic centers.
- Identify the importance of having commissioning during the design phase of aquatic centers.
- Know the importance of including commissioning during value engineering.
- Learn how different building systems interact within an aquatic center and how to implement a cross-discipline approach during commissioning.
Commissioning building systems is often complex, and some facilities provide greater opportunities than others. Aquatic centers contain specialized equipment that requires coordination with multiple building trades. Integrating commissioning into the project is critical for project success and should be included throughout all phases of design and construction.
