A) To ensure all equipment is installed correctly
, Page 2 of 122
B) To verify that building systems perform interactively according to design intent and the
owner's operational requirements
C) To reduce construction costs
D) To test all equipment before occupancy
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The commissioning process is a quality assurance process to help ensure all building
systems perform interactively and according to the design intent and the owner's operational
requirements . It goes beyond simple equipment testing to verify integrated system
performance. The process focuses on verifying and documenting that all commissioned systems
and assemblies are planned, designed, installed, tested, operated, and maintained to meet the
Owner's Project Requirements .
QUESTION 2
Which document defines the owner's goals, expectations, and performance requirements for a
