REAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND CORRECT VERIFIED
ANSWERS/ ALREADY GRADED A+ (MOST RECENT!!)
During design review, the commissioning provider discovers that the
OPR requires a laboratory pressure differential of −0.05 in. w.g., while
the BOD specifies −0.02 in. w.g. for the same space. Which issue should
receive priority?
A. Resolve the OPR/BOD discrepancy
B. Increase the exhaust-fan capacity
C. Add another differential sensor
D. Proceed using the BOD value - Correct answer - A
The conflicting requirements must be reconciled before commissioning
criteria are finalized. The OPR establishes the owner's required
performance.
An office building's functional performance test shows that three VAV
boxes fail to maintain minimum airflow during heating mode. The TAB
report shows acceptable balancing results. Which evidence should the
commissioning provider examine next?
A. Lighting control schedules
B. Chiller entering-water temperature
pg. 1
,C. VAV heating control sequence
D. Emergency generator loading - Correct answer - C
Acceptable TAB results shift attention toward controls, particularly the
heating-mode airflow sequence and associated setpoints.
During construction observation, the commissioning provider notices
that insulation around several chilled-water valves is incomplete. The
contractor argues that insulation will be installed after startup. How
should this condition be handled?
A. Accept the work pending startup
B. Remove the valves from testing
C. Record it only in meeting minutes
D. Track it as a commissioning issue - Correct answer - D
An incomplete installation affecting system performance should be
documented and tracked through the commissioning issues process.
An existing building has repeated complaints of afternoon overheating.
Trend data show that zone temperatures rise whenever the AHU supply-
air temperature reset reaches its highest scheduled value. Which
commissioning activity would provide the strongest evidence of the
cause?
A. Review lighting schedules
B. Compare reset logic with zone trends
C. Replace the zone thermostats
pg. 2
,D. Increase chilled-water flow - Correct answer - B
Correlating the reset sequence with temperature trends can establish
whether the control strategy is contributing to the problem before
equipment changes are made.
A functional test requires a smoke-control fan to start automatically after
a simulated alarm. The fan starts locally but not through the fire alarm
interface. Which deficiency is most relevant?
A. Integrated-system failure
B. Fan belt misalignment
C. Motor overload setting
D. Duct leakage - Correct answer - A
The failure occurs at the interface between systems, making it an
integrated controls/interface deficiency rather than a mechanical fan
problem.
During BECx testing, a curtain-wall assembly passes the visual
inspection but fails an air-leakage test. The contractor proposes sealing
visible interior joints. What is the commissioning provider's primary
concern?
A. Interior finish appearance
B. HVAC filter loading
C. Leakage source and continuity
D. Fan motor efficiency - Correct answer - C
pg. 3
, Air leakage requires identification of the actual leakage path and
verification of the enclosure's air barrier continuity, not merely cosmetic
sealing.
A commissioning schedule shows functional testing beginning before
major control-system programming is complete. Which schedule
concern is most serious?
A. Testing may produce invalid results
B. Training may begin too early
C. The OPR may require revision
D. The final report may be shortened - Correct answer - A
Functional testing depends on complete controls programming. Testing
before the system is ready can generate misleading failures and require
unnecessary retesting.
A commissioning provider finds that a cooling coil valve reaches 100%
command while the leaving-air temperature remains above setpoint.
Pump differential pressure is normal. Which additional evidence is most
useful?
A. Boiler operating hours
B. Coil entering-water temperature
C. Lighting-control trends
D. Generator runtime - Correct answer - B
pg. 4
