SGH provided design-phase commissioning services, construction administration support, and construction-phase commissioning field testing for the building enclosure. Highlights of our work include the following:

Pre-Design and Design Phases

• Reviewing the owner’s project requirements, building program, basis of design, and related design documents to compare with the design and performance expectations
• Developing a building enclosure commissioning plan outlining roles, responsibilities, and communication methods, and summarizing the commissioning process
• Preparing a building enclosure commissioning specification

Construction and Post-Construction Phases

• Coordinating with the construction manager to plan for and schedule commissioning activities
• Reviewing submittals and shop drawings for key systems
• Visiting the site to observe building enclosure mockups and installation
• Performing air and water testing of mockups and the installed storefront system; smoke testing penetrations and joints in opaque wall, doors, and roofing; testing sealant adhesion; and performing an infrared survey of the roof assembly
• Conducting a ten-month post-occupancy warranty review
