The facilities to be included under this Statement of Work (SOW) are Buildings 683, 680, 681, 650, 653, 654, 656, 662 and 663. The project will conclude with the most current version of ALC hardware and software being installed in each of the buildings in this statement of work and all communicating via the base s existing fiber optic backbone; the server shall be located in the ANG s Base Network Control Center (BNCC) located in building 680 and the master controller to be located in building 683 (Controller). The completed project shall see the EMCS monitoring and controlling all existing HVAC equipment through the use of existing sensors connected to existing building-by-building DDC systems plus new supply air and smoke detectors that shall be installed by the Contractor in all building zones.

Tests shall be done when central plant cooling and heating systems are b. Close all control valves c. Start all fans associated with control valves d. Open bridge connection control valve e. Start both pumps f. Observe flow meter. If reading changes after pumps start, there is a
g. Observe supply air temperature at each coil after test starts h. Should any supply air temperature rise, close the isolation valves to the coil to see if temperature changes. If so, this validates that the valve is not fully closing. Remedy the condition by adjusting the stroke and range, increasing the actuator size/torque, replacing the seat, or replacing the valve as applicable. 2.5.3. Functional Tests A. Test schedule shall be coordinated with the Commissioning Coordinator. B. Tests may be witnessed by an Owner Representative at the Owner s option. C. All approved Functional Tests shall be conducted by the EMCS Contractor with results confirmed and signed by the Contractor s start-up technician. D. Test documentation shall be submitted to the Owner for review and approval. 2.5.4. Demonstration Test A. Demonstration tests consist of a small representative sample of functional tests and systems randomly selected by the Owner. Tests will be designed to occur over no longer than [Select: 2 days commonly, 4 days for complex systems] days. B. Schedule the demonstration with the Owner s representative 1 week in advance. Demonstration shall not be scheduled until the Functional Test Report has been approved. C. The contractor shall supply all personnel and equipment for the demonstration, including, but not limited to, instruments, ladders, etc. Contractor-supplied personnel shall be those who conducted the Functional tests or who are otherwise competent with and knowledgeable of all project-specific hardware, software, and the HVAC systems. D. The system will be demonstrated following procedures that are the same or similar to those used in the Pre-functional and Functional Tests. The Owner s representative will supply the test forms at the site at the start of the tests. E. Contractor shall conduct tests as directed by and in the presence of the Owner s representative and complete test forms. Completed forms shall be submitted as the Demonstration Test Report to the Owner and Commissioning Coordinator after tests are complete. F. Demonstration Tests shall be successfully completed and approved prior to Substantial Completion. 2.5.5 Trend Log Tests A. Commissioning (Post Construction) Trend Test
completed. 1. Trend logging shall not commence until Demonstration Tests are successfully 2. Contractor shall configure points to trend as required for Commissioning Trends including: a. For equipment of identical function, such as VAV zones and AHUs with identical components and control sequences, only a sample of such equipment need to be trended. The sampling shall be 10% of the identical components, but no more than 10 and no less than 3. Review with Owner representative before setting up trends. b. Where zone data (e.g. damper or valve position, control loop signal) is used for reset of the AHU/pump system serving the zone, the zone tag (name) and zone data (e.g. damper or valve position) shall be trended. c. All points trended for a single HVAC subsystem (e.g. air handling unit, chilled water system, etc.) shall be trended during the same trend period and the same time intervals so that data may be easily plotted using a spreadsheet. 3. Trends shall be uploaded to the Trend Historian Server in data format specified. 4. Trend logs of all points indicated above shall be collected for a (normally 2 or 4 week) week Trend Period. 5. At the completion of the Trend Period, data shall be reviewed by the Contractor to ensure that the system is operating properly. If so, data shall be submitted to the Owner in an electronic format agreed to by the Owner and Contractor (e.g. CD-ROM or via direct access to the Operator Workstation via the internet). 6. Data will be analyzed over approximately a two- to three-week period by an Owner representative. 7. The system shall be accepted only if the trend review indicates proper system operation without malfunction, without alarm caused by control action or device failure, and with smooth and stable control of systems and equipment in conformance with these specifications. If any but very minor glitches are indicated in the trends, steps 4 to 6 above shall be repeated for the same Trend Period until there is a complete Trend Period of error free operation. B.
