A Sure Thing

By Steven R. Ross, P.E., LEED AP, CxA

One of the main goals of hospital commissioning is to provide the owner a “certainty of outcome” that the project will meet the owner’s expectations for the completed facility. To provide this certainty, expectations must be defined and monitored throughout the design and construction process.

Thus, for health facility commissioning to have the best return on investment, it should begin early in the conceptual design phase and extend through the warranty period so it can provide guidance before design decisions are finalized and during the construction phase as systems are procured and installed.
