Moreover, the open campus and common areas provide dynamic places for people of all backgrounds to congregate and learn.

Scope of Work:

TMCx is providing LEED Fundamental and Enhanced commissioning. Design activities included design and submittal review and comment, Cx plan and document development. Construction activities include site installation verification, water system flush verification, witness of equipment startup and TAB, and functional testing. Post-occupancy activities include 10 month and 3 year warranty follow up site inspections.

Challenges and Successe

  • A total of 50 issues were identified and resolved during design and construction.
  • During the startup phase of the project it was found that a mixed air damper section would bind up and caused the shaft to bend. The installing contractor replaced the shaft and repositioned the shaft and damper section.
  • During the functional testing phase it was found that the outside air flow stations for the air handlers were not programmed into the BAS system. The controls contractor programmed these devices to the BAS system.
  • During the functional testing phase it was found that many of the occupancy sensors did not work. The electrical contractor replaced the defective sensors.
