Electrical Systems Commissioning (from the California Commissioning Collaborative)

The term commissioning comes from shipbuilding. A commissioned ship is one deemed ready for service. Before being awarded this title, however, a ship must pass several milestones. Equipment is installed and tested, problems are identified and corrected, and the prospective crew is extensively trained. A commissioned ship is one whose materials, systems, and staff have successfully completed a thorough quality assurance process.

Building Commissioning takes the same approach to new buildings. When a building is initially commissioned it undergoes an intensive quality assurance process that begins during design and continues through construction, occupancy, and operations. Commissioning ensures that the new building operates initially as the owner intended and that building staff are prepared to operate and maintain its systems and equipment.

Electrical Systems Commissioning

Electrical Systems Commissioning focuses specifically on power distribution, protection, control, monitoring, and lighting within the confines of the building and property.

Course Outline

This course will break the Electrical Systems Commissioning down into 3 separate but interrelated parts:

• Determine and Document the Requirements and Standards
• Planning the Electrical Systems Commissioning Process
• Documentation of Findings

and will follow a detailed Electrical Systems Commissioning checklist.
