Commissioning is more than just following ASHRAE Standard 202 and ASHRAE Guideline 0 and 0.2; it is about forming a team that will help each other turn over a complex system to the owner. The first portion of this program illustrates the importance of teamwork when beginning the commissioning process. The second portion includes some examples of these complex systems being commissioned, primarily geothermal heat pump systems, and compares and contrasts them to simpler systems, showing the positives and negatives of each. Lessons learned and best practices are provided.
