J.

Complete all (pre-startup) Commissioning Requirements in accordance with related Sections.

K. Complete all Startup Commissioning Requirements in accordance with related Sections. L. Coordinate with TC and TAB to complete all debugging prior to Witnessing by Owner of Functional Testing. M. Perform Using Agency training as required. N. Install clean filters in unit just prior to Owner Witnessing of Functional Testing. 3.3 TESTING OF EACH UNIT/SYSTEM A. Quality Assurance 1. Failure to pass (in part or whole) quality assurance verification/testing in the presence of the AE and/or Owner may incur prompt remedies at no additional cost to the Project or Owner. B. Manufacturer and/or Contractor Conducted Field Testing: 1. Housing Leak Testing: a. Once unit is installed and the fans are operational, test housing for leakage. b. Test housing at pressures specified under Leakage Rate/Pressure Rating in Part 2 of this specification. c. Perform air flow measurements in compliance with ASHRAE/ANSI standard 111. C. Energy Recovery Section(s) Testing: 1. Factory Startup and Field Commissioning - After the units are installed, a final factory checkout and startup will be completed to ensure proper purge adjustment, seal adjustment, control settings and other key operational functions. This service shall be completed by trained factory service personnel that are employed by the manufacturer of the transfer media. Final commissioning by employees of the contractor or wheel casing fabricators that purchase the transfer media from others will not be acceptable. 2. Once the final factory checkout is completed, and before final occupancy, wheel installation will be commissioned using a SF-6 Tracer Gas Testing Procedure similar to that outlined by ASHRAE Standard 84. This testing must be performed by an experienced Qualified Factory Approved Independent Contractor (at no additional cost to the Project or Owner) to determine quantitative verification of the following: a. Cross contamination of exhaust air contaminates to the outdoor air stream due to the energy recovery wheel media, seals, and purge, is below .045% limit. b. If Cross-Contamination of exhaust air contaminants to the outdoor air stream exists due to leakage within the energy recovery systems housing. c. If Cross-Contamination of exhaust air contaminants to the outdoor air stream exist due to entrainment of air exhausted from the facility to the outdoor air intake hood.

D. Final Contaminant Carry-over TVOC Commissioning After Occupancy 1. To confirm that the recovery wheel is functioning at the factory specified limit for crosscontamination, air samples will be collected from the outdoor, supply and the return air streams around the total energy wheel on adsorbent filled adsorption tubes during an 8 hour time period while the facility is operated at full occupancy and activity. These tubes will be analyzed using a high end mass spectrometer by an experienced and recognized independent research laboratory. A report documenting the total volatile organic compound spectrum and total concentration associated with each air stream U OF I FACILITIES STANDARDSERROR: REFERENCE SOURCE NOT FOUND ERROR: REFERENCE SOURCE NOT FOUND ERROR: REFERENCE SOURCE NOT FOUND- 14 CUSTOM AHU ADDENDUM NO. 2 LAST UPDATED NOVEMBER 1, 2011 REVISED SECTION
