Commissioning of buildings and building services is vitally important to the safe and energy efficient operation of buildings but is not always carried out or carried out systematically.
The CIBSE Commissioning Codes ensure that building services are commissioned in a proper and timely manner. They set out clearly and systematically the steps required to commission building services and will make a significant contribution to achieving properly commissioned buildings. Commissioning Code M provides an overview of the management arrangements required to ensure that building services systems are commissioned to meet the objectives of Part L. CIBSE Commissioning Code M, produced in collaboration with the Commissioning Specialists Association presents current standards of good commissioning practice in the form of recommendations and guidance. The Code acknowledges that it may be used in a variety of contractual frameworks, and seeks to enable services engineers to improve the performance of buildings through better commissioning.
