What are commissioning goals primarily focused on?

The primary focus of commissioning goals is on effective communication and adherence to protocols. Commissioning involves confirming that building systems are designed, installed, and functioning as intended. This requires clear communication among all stakeholders, including architects, engineers, contractors, and the commissioning team. Well-defined protocols ensure that all aspects of the commissioning process are followed, including testing procedures, documentation requirements, and performance verification.

By emphasizing communication and protocol adherence, commissioning aims to facilitate collaboration, prevent misunderstandings, and ensure that all parties are aligned on the project objectives. This structured approach helps to identify and address issues early in the process, leading to improved system performance and enhanced building efficiency.

While enhancing contractor relationships, achieving project completion deadlines, and reducing commissioning costs are important aspects of the overall project management, they are secondary to the foundational goal of establishing effective communication and strict adherence to protocols that guide the commissioning process.
