Which role designs and completes controls install as required by DID/OPR, documents progress (SVCs), coordinates with TAB, operates systems as required for FPTing, and plans and delivers O&M staff training and manuals?

• A. Design consultants
• B. Commissioning agent
• C. Electrical contractor
• D. Temperature controls contractor

Answer: (D)

The role that designs and installs the building automation and control system per the design intent and Owner Project Requirements, tracks progress with Systems Verification Criteria, coordinates with Testing, Adjusting, and Balancing, operates the systems during Functional Performance Testing, and plans and delivers O&M training and manuals is the temperature controls contractor. This contractor brings the specialized knowledge to translate the design sequences into actual control hardware and software, installs sensors, actuators, and controllers, and ensures the control system works as intended through FPT and SVC documentation. They also work with TAB to verify performance and provide the necessary operator training and manuals for ongoing operations. The commissioning agent focuses on verification and documentation, the electrical contractor handles electrical installation, and design consultants develop the design rather than execute and train on it.
