A critically acclaimed book about commissioning used worldwide. Read and see reviews from the US, Canada, Australia and Denmark at www.CxGuideline.com. This book is written by an experienced commissioning manager reviews activities and documents in the commissioning process from the start of the construction process through to the end, with practical examples. This guide shows how you can implement commissioning and gives you the tools you need to get started. It also ensures that you will be in compliance with ASHRAE's Standard 202 and ASHRAE Guideline 0-2019, as well as the Danish commissioning standard DS3090. It guides you with tips and tricks to handle the challenges you'll face during the commissioning process - from the Owner's Project Requirements (OPR) to the test paradigms for system integration tests. Thomas Toftgaard Jarløv has multiple commissioning certifications: CxAP, CxM, and QCxP. He also runs www.CxWiki.dk, the Danish wiki on commissioning; and www.CxPlanner.com, which offers international commissioning software.
