Envelope Commissioning Provides
a systematic quality assurance process that is intended to identify and avoid
issues that could lead to defective or deficient building envelope assemblies
in new construction projects. Commissioning
of existing building envelope systems may require developing new functional
criteria to address the owner’s current requirements for system performance.
Building Envelope Commissioning provides documented confirmation that exterior
building systems function according to criteria set forth in the project
documents to satisfy the owner's operational needs. Commissioning of
