Commissioning

Commissioning is the structured process of verifying that all installed systems. HVAC, electrical, fire, data, AV, BMS. Are installed correctly, operating to design intent, and documented before the building is handed over. It is not a single sign-off; it is a phased programme that begins at design stage and concludes with witnessed performance testing.

In a typical Indian office fit-out, commissioning includes: air balancing (checking that supply volumes match design), static pressure tests on ductwork, electrical load tests, fire alarm cause-and-effect verification, and UPS autonomy tests. On a zero-snagging handover, commissioning records form part of the handover documentation pack. Skipping thorough commissioning is the most common root cause of post-occupancy complaints about temperature and air quality.
