Conducted
Installation and Operational Qualifications to verify that the Building
Management System (BMS) was installed according to manufacturer's specifications
and operates according to the client's requirements.
The
system is equipped with a Pentium III computer, front keyboard, mouse,
and a CRT display panel that is used to monitor and control the inputs
of point throughout the building and within the equipment. The control
software works with the control panels located throughout the building
and provides a way to monitor and control different factors in the building
(i.e. room temperature, humidity, pressure, flow rate, supply/return/exhaust
fans, alarm status, and equipment start/stop status).
IQ
and OQ were conducted to ensure that the HVAC and all associated utilities
(printers and communication panels) were operating properly. IQ was required
to provide field verification that the equipment has been constructed
and installed in accordance with design and manufacturer’s specifications.
IQ verifications were also performed to verify that pre-approved installation
and test procedures were satisfactorily conducted prior to system acceptance.
OQ was required to determine that all equipment and systems operate as
specified and meet pre-approved design requirements.
IQ
included verification of loops, configurations, interconnections, software
code, equipment environment, workmanship quality, utilities, grounding
and power distribution. IQ also included identifications of engineering
data, user requirement, design specification, functional specification
and system drawing.
