CONTROLS & COMMISSIONING CAPABILITIES

Building Automation Components

DDC controllers, sensors, actuators, VFDs, thermostats and gateways sourced to the controls contractor's submittal, with BACnet (ASHRAE 135) compatibility.

TAB Coordination

Access, schedule and balancing-device coordination for independent NEBB- or AABC-certified testing, adjusting and balancing firms.

Duct & Pipe Testing Support

Test ports, blank-offs, test headers, gauges and flushing / hydrostatic connections that support duct-leakage, pressure and flushing tests.

Commissioning Documentation

Submittals, O&M data, start-up checklists and training materials assembled for commissioning agents and owner turnover (ASHRAE Guideline 0).

WHAT WE SUPPORT IN CONTROLS & COMMISSIONING

Controls submittals: points lists, sequences of operation, riser diagrams and product data tracked with the mechanical submittal log.
Sensors, valves & actuators: control valves, damper actuators, differential-pressure, temperature and flow sensing devices staged by system.
Economizers & energy-code controls: economizer, integrated-control, damper-interlock and fault-detection components required by the 2021 IECC.
Variable-frequency drives: VFDs and starters for fans and pumps, coordinated with electrical supply.
TAB devices & access: balancing valves, flow-measuring stations, test ports and access doors located for the balancer.
Duct leakage testing: specified separately from TAB; blank-off plates, test fans and sealing materials staged for test windows.
Functional performance testing: documentation, trend-log points and instrumentation access for commissioning agents.
Training & turnover: O&M manuals, spare parts, tags and owner-training materials organized for closeout.

STANDARDS & CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SPACE

ASHRAE 135 (BACnet):the interoperable protocol commonly required for building automation integration.
ASHRAE 111 / NEBB / AABC:TAB procedures and firm / technician certification bodies; TAB is performed by an independent certified firm.
ASHRAE Guideline 0:commissioning process from pre-design through occupancy, including verification and training.
Energy code:2021 IECC (Virginia) controls and economizer requirements for commercial buildings.
