Commissioning with OPR, BOD (LEED, ASHRAE G0, Std 202)

Overview: commissioning with OPR and BOD

Commissioning with OPR and BOD in the Commissioning tools lets you structure requirements, design responses, reviews, assets, tests, reports, and issues, which is used for projects that follow LEED, ASHRAE Guideline 0, or ASHRAE Standard 202.

Your role must be high enough to create projects and change project settings (typically Manager or Admin).
You can find the menu at Project Settings - Tools and Modules - Commissioning Block.
This enables commissioning tools and changes OPR, BOD, reviews, assets, checklists, reports, and issues for the project.

How to set up commissioning with OPR and BOD

Go to Projects.
Create a new Asset Based Project.
Enter a project name and continue.
Select the project type and checklist types, for example PFC and FPT.
Add the required asset types and quantities.
Open Project Settings.
Go to Tools and Modules.
Enable Commissioning Block.
Go to Commissioning in project settings.
Enable the commissioning tools you need.
Add or import your OPR requirements.
Use BOD to collect designer responses and approve, reject, or postpone them.
Use Reviews to upload drawings or documents and create markup comments.
Attach checklist templates to your asset types.
Enable Reports if you need commissioning reports or final documentation.
