complete and operable system. All thermostats for systems that provide both heating and
cooling shall have a deadband of 2.8 degrees C. All equipment and systems shall be
automatically controlled [and monitored] by the control system. [The control system shall tie into
the existing [EMCS] [UMCS] system.] [A description of the existing system shall be provided by
the design agent.] Control system instructions shall be provided for each system. The
instructions shall consist of half-size laminated drawings and shall include the control system
schematic, equipment schedule, ladder diagram, sequence of operation, panel arrangement
drawings, wiring diagram, and valve and damper schedules.

TESTING, ADJUSTING AND BALANCING. Testing, adjusting and balancing of
each system shall be the Contractor's responsibility. Testing and balancing of air and hydronic
systems shall be accomplished by a firm certified for testing and balancing by the Associated
Air Balance Council (AABC) or National Environmental Balancing Bureau (NEBB). Prior to
testing, adjusting, and balancing, the Contractor shall verify that the systems have been
properly installed and are operating as specified. Testing of individual items of equipment shall
be performed by a person authorized to perform such testing and startup by the equipment
manufacturer. The contractor shall correct all systems and equipment not found in compliance,
and shall be responsible for all labor and materials required for this effort. AABC MN-1 or
NEBB-01 shall be used as the standard for providing testing of air and water systems. The
selected standard shall be used throughout the entire project. All recommendations and
suggested practices contained in the selected standard shall be considered mandatory.
Instrumentation accuracy shall be in accordance with selected standard. The provisions of the
TAB standard, including checklists, report forms, etc., shall, as nearly as practical, be used to
satisfy the Contract requirements.
10-16.1
Piping systems. Each piping system including pipe, valves, fittings and equipment
shall be hydrostatically tested and proved tight at a pressure of 1-1/2 times the design working
pressure, but not less than 699 kPa for a period of not less than two hours with no appreciable
loss in pressure. Piping shall not be insulated until testing is completed and acceptable. Upon
completion of installation and prior to startup, each hydronic system shall be balanced. All
balancing data, including deficiencies encountered and corrective action taken, shall be
recorded. Following final acceptance of certified reports by the Contracting Officer, the setting
of all HVAC adjustment devices shall be permanently marked by the Contractor's balancing
engineer so that adjustment can be restored if disturbed at any time.
10-16.2
Air systems. Where specific systems require special or additional procedures for
testing, such procedures shall be in accordance with the standard selected. All data, including
deficiencies encountered and corrective action taken, shall be recorded. Following final
acceptance of certified reports by the Contracting Officer, the setting of all HVAC adjustment
devices shall be permanently marked by the Contractor's balancing engineer so that adjustment
can be restored if disturbed at any time.
10-16.3
Equipment. Equipment. Each item of central operating equipment provided, including
boilers, [air handling units,] [
] and chillers shall be tested in accordance with the
equipment manufacturer's standard testing procedures. A factory representative shall be
present for the startup and testing of each item of equipment. A certified report shall be provided
for each item of equipment tested.
