In recent years, building commissioning has often been part of a standard delivery practice in construction, particularly in the high-performance green building market, to ensure the building is designed and constructed per owner's requirements. Commissioning, therefore, intends to provide quality assurance that buildings perform as intended by the design and often helps achieve energy savings. Commissioning, however, is not as widely adopted as its potential benefits are perceived. Owners are still skeptical of the cost-effectiveness claims by energy management and commissioning professionals. One of the issues in the current commissioning practice is that not every project is guaranteed to benefit from the commissioning services. This, coupled with its added cost, the commissioning service is not acquired with great acceptance and confidence by building owners. To overcome this issue, this paper presents a unique methodology to enhance owner's predicting capability of the degree of success of commissioning service using the Bayesian theorem. The paper analyzes a situation where a future building owner wants to use a pre-commissioning in an attempt to refine the success rate of the future commissioned building performance. The author proposes the Bayesian theorem based framework to improve the current commissioning practice where building owners are not given accurate information how much successful their projects are going to be in terms of energy savings from the commissioning service. What should be provided to the building owners who consider their buildings to be commissioned is that they need some indicators how likely their projects benefit from the commissioning process. Based on this, the owners can make better informed decisions whether or not they acquire a commissioning service.

A necessity of increasing the energy efficiency of the buildings is rising due to global warming and high energy demands prices. Commissioning is an effective way to increase the energy efficiency of the building and reduce maintenance costs. In this study, a case study was conducted to derive the commissioning process of green building and propose management factors that can be used in domestic commissioning projects. The case was a university renovation project that received a LEED Glod certification and conducted the enhanced commissioning. The commissioning is divided into planning, design, construction, and post-construction phases. In the planning stage, commissioning company selection, commissioning goal setting, tasks and responsibilities for each subject are set. In the design phase, preparations are made for inspection and construction steps to prevent design errors. In the construction phase, problems are solved through periodic on-site inspections. In the post-construction phase, a final report with all the details of the commissioning will be created and future maintenance strategies will be proposed. Based on the findings of this study, it will be a basis for the management factors that can be used in the implementation of domestic commissioning projects.

This paper reviews and identifies issues in the application of virtual commissioning technology for automated manufacturing systems. While the real commissioning of a manufacturing system involves a real plant system and a real controller, the virtual commissioning deals with a virtual plant model and a real controller. The expected benefits of virtual commissioning are the reduction of debugging and correction efforts during the subsequent real commissioning stage. However, it requires a virtual plant model and hence still requires significant amount time and efforts. Two main issues are identified, the physical model construction of a virtual device, and the logical model construction of a virtual device. This paper reviews the current literature related to the two issues and proposes future research directions to achieve the full utilization of virtual commissioning technology.

This paper presents the continuous commissioning process, information on the case study facility, improved system operation, and building energy consumption measures before and after continuous commissioning implementation. Continuous commissioning is an ongoing process to resolve operating problems, improve comfort, optimize energy use and identify retrofits for existing commercial and institutional buildings and central plant facilities. Continuous commissioning process consists of two phases. The first phase is the project development phase and the second phase implements and verifies project performance. Results of a case study show that continuous commissioning implementation can reduce energy costs. The energy reports show the electricity savings of 22% and gas savings of 47% on an average.

The commissioning of a treatment planning system of model-based dose calculation algorithm requires a lot of parameters to be selected to fit measured data, in which process physical insights for the parameters are often forgotten. We present the photon beam commissioning of Pinnacle$^3$ with the help of Monte Carlo (MC) simulation and evaluate the parameters Pinnacle$^3$ demands. Even though the MC calculation produces reasonable values for the commissioning, the thorough physical basis of the Pinnacles$^3$'s commissioning process is needed to use the MC derived parameters directly.

After the construction of offshore plants, the function and integrity of system in offshore plants should be commissioned. As the executor of many FLNG projects, Samsung Heavy Industries Co., Ltd has faced some challenges for commissioning which are not similar to those in other offshore project. This study shows the differences between the commissioning of typical offshore projects and the one of FLNG projects. By the characteristics of offshore, performing the commissioning activity of FLNG near shipyard as much as possible reduces the risk of malfunction. The possible solutions to achieve these strategies are introduced.

Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport established Heating and cooling energy conservation plan of apartment for 2017, reducing 90% compared to energy consumption of 1990. Also, at 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference, the Ministry announced to reduce 37% of estimated $CO^2$ emission(850 million ton) at 2030. To satisfy this, it is urgent to reduce $CO^2$ emission due to the building, which takes majority amount of total $CO^2$ emission, and public interest for the commissioning of intensified building performance is uprising. However, the building commissioning at construction is not enacted, and not activated due to the lackness of promotion and will of general contractor. Furthermore, commissioning is not mandatory for obtaining G-SEED certification. Therefore, this paper describes effectiveness of commissioning with comparison of commissioning evaluation criteria of G-SEED with LEED and BREEAM, to propose making commissioning as mandatory process and drive changes in perception among stakeholders for activation of domestic building commissioning.

Geothermal heat pump(GHP)system has been extensively disseminated due to the recent increasing demand over new and renewable energy. However, the economics and system reliability has been key issues and barriers to insure a better system performance as designed originally. The building integrated designs of geothermal heat pump system are test and optimize GHP system by evaluating its performance in virtual reality. System design is an iterative process that will help optimize the cost efficiency of the system. One of the primary goals is to minimize the energy imbalance between the amount of energy extracted from the ground and the energy reject to it. This will reduce the land area required to install the GHX, reduce the cost of installing it and ensure the long-term efficiency of the system. Commissioning is the process of ensuring that are designed, installed, functionally tested, and capable of being operated and maintained to performance in conformity with design intent. In this paper, Study on introduction of Initial commissioning method of Geothermal Heat Pump(GHP) system using ISO performance data has been introduced. Also KIER GHP Simulator is used to simulate actual heat pimp operating condition and test commissioning method. Result should that the experiment data base could verify the applicability of the commissioning method, and also were able to suggest a better ways to GHP commissioning.
