TECHNICAL FEATURE

Develop the OCx Plan
The OCx plan is developed during the commissioning process for new buildings, and during the existing
building commissioning (EBCx) process for existing
buildings. The OCx plan should explain what equipment and systems will be included, what measurements and monitoring/trending will be performed

to document building performance, how data will
be analyzed and how identified problems will be
corrected.
The OCx plan should: address how to maintain
the OPR that was achieved during commissioning a
new building, or how to maintain the CFR that was
achieved during commissioning existing buildings;
address areas such as the reduction of energy, enhancements in
facility operations, maintenance
procedures and occupant satisfaction. The OCx plan should evolve
with the building and any changes
that are made to the CFR. Always
answer the question: how do we
maintain the CFR while improving
building performance over time.

Assemble the OCx Team
Ownership is a key attribute to a
successful OCx program, so it is critical to have a team that is responsible for executing the OCx Plan. The
team members will vary depending
on each facility, and can consist of
any combination of individuals such
as the owners, operations and maintenance staff, outside service contractors, outside controls contractors
or commissioning professionals.
The level of monitoring and analysis
required by the OCx Plan, coupled
with the available internal resources
that each facility has, will drive the
overall team makeup.

Update the OCx Plan
Once a new building is turned over
to an owner, the building becomes
an existing building. The OCx Plan
is a living document that will evolve
over the life of a facility. The plan
which was developed earlier in the
commissioning process (either new
or existing building commissioning), should be updated to make
sure that all operating parameters to
