What is “Building Envelope Commissioning” ?What is “Building Envelope Commissioning” ?
Similar process as Traditional MEP-Based Cx
Review ability of design to
– control heat, air and vapor flow– control water penetration– control light & solar radiation
Monitor and inspect Test and verify

Air Leakage accounts for…Air Leakage accounts for…
40% of a building’s energy consumption (DOE)
43% of heat loss (NIST)
26% of cooling loss (NIST)

Building Envelope Commissioning is New and ComplexBuilding Envelope Commissioning is New and Complex
Formal guidelines being developed Similar process to HVAC commissioning but
much more complex– Nothing comparable to the test and balance,
and other functional tests routinely specified for HVAC
– HVAC can be tweaked when building is complete, not an option with the envelope

Benefits of Building Envelope CommissioningBenefits of Building Envelope Commissioning
Helps to avoid common problems in building construction:– Water intrusion– Indoor air quality issues– Mold growth– Air infiltration (energy loss and occupant
discomfort)– Improves balancing of HVAC equipment

Key Causes of Envelope FailuresKey Causes of Envelope Failures Reliance on a single water barrier (i.e. sealants) New untested building materials Complex geometries Repetitiveness of problem details Lack of technical understanding of moisture
intrusion mechanisms Lack of modeling / review / testing / startup No defined expectation of building’s performance
with regard to selecting materials and details Lack of coordinated details between construction
trades Workmanship

Design Phase ServicesDesign Phase Services Review prime architect’s conceptual plans and
identify design options for envelope systems
Meet with project team to review standardized approach to design development– Emphasize detailing, specifications, and
constructability
Peer review plans, details, and specifications at schematic and design development stages
Develop commissioning specifications, establish team, and identify responsibilities

Design RequirementsDesign Requirements Combination of building envelope components
are numerous
Building envelope must perform as a system with all joints, junctures, and penetrations detailed– Design specifications must be clear and
specific– All components must work in conjunction with
adjoining assemblies
