  COMPLIANCE FORMS, WORKSHEETS AND REFERENCE MATERIAL

  PART 1 STANDARDS FOR COMPLIANCE WITH BUILDING COMMISSIONING

  Reference: Section 5.410.2, Commissioning.

  Introduction:

  The purpose of this code is to improve public health, safety and general welfare by enhancing the design and construction of buildings through the use of concepts that reduce negative and increase positive environmental impacts. Commissioning is a vital element in this effort.

  Definitions used in the CALGreen Cx Reference standard:

  Acronyms

  BOD Basis of Design

  Cx Commissioning

  FPT Functional Performance Test

  HVAC Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning

  O&M Operations and Maintenance

  OPR Owner’s Project Requirements

  Glossary:

  Acceptance Criteria— The conditions that must be met for systems or equipment to meet defined and expected outcomes.

  Commissioning (Cx)— Building commissioning as required in this code involves a quality assurance process that begins during design and continues to occupancy. Commissioning verifies that the new building operates as the owner intended and that building staff are prepared to operate and maintain its systems and equipment. Exceptions are allowed for dry storage warehouses of any size and conditioned spaces under 10,000 square feet accessory to them; and for tenant improvements under 10,000 square feet within a larger space.

  Owner— The individual or entity holding title to the property on which the building is constructed.

  Commissioning Coordinator— The person who coordinates the commissioning process. This can be either a third-party commissioning provider or an experienced member of the design team or owner in-house staff member.

  Commissioning Team— The key members of each party involved with the project designated to provide insight and carry out tasks necessary for a successful commissioning project. Team members may include the commissioning coordinator, owner or owner’s representative, building staff, design professionals, contractors or manufacturer’s representatives and testing specialists.

  SECTION 5.304—OUTDOOR WATER USE

  5.304.1 Outdoor potable water use in landscape areas. Nonresidential developments shall comply with a local water efficient landscape ordinance or the current California Department of Water Resources’ Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO), whichever is more stringent.

  Notes:

  1. The Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) is located in the California Code of Regulations, Title 23, Chapter 2.7, Division 2.

For public schools and community colleges, landscape projects as described in Sections 5.304.6.1 and 5.304.6.2 shall comply with the California Department of Water Resources Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) commencing with Section 490 of Chapter 2.7, Division 2, Title 23, California Code of Regulations, except that the evapotranspiration adjustment factor (ETAF) shall be 0.65 with an additional water allowance for special landscape areas (SLA) of 0.35.

  Exception: Any project with an aggregate landscape area of 2,500 square feet or less may comply with the prescriptive measures contained in Appendix D of the MWELO.

  5.304.6.1 Newly constructed landscapes. New construction projects with an aggregate landscape area equal to or greater than 500 square feet.

  5.304.6.2 Rehabilitated landscapes. Rehabilitated landscape projects with an aggregate landscape area equal to or greater than 1,200 square feet.

  SOILS AND FOUNDATIONS

  6. The modulus of subgrade reactions, long-term settlement and post-earthquake settlement shall be specified along with expected total and differential settlements for design. 7. The acceptance criteria for friction cone and piezocone penetration testing in accordance with ASTM D5778 complemented by a standard penetration test (SPT) in accordance with ASTM D1586, if necessary, to verify soil improvement shall be specified 8. The requirements for special inspection and observation by the geotechnical engineer shall be specified. 9. A Final Verified Report (FVR) documenting the installation of the ground improvement system and confirming that the ground improvement acceptance criteria have been met shall be prepared by the geotechnical engineer and submitted to the enforce- ment agency for review and approval.

  1813.3 Shallow Foundations. VSCs under the shallow foundation shall be located symmetrically around the centroid of the footing or load, and:

  1. There shall be a minimum of four stone columns under each isolated or continuous/combined footing or an approved equivalent. 2. The VSCs or deep foundation elements shall not be used to resist tension or overturning uplift from the shallow foundations. 3. The foundation design for the shallow foundation shall consider the increased vertical stiffness of the VSCs as point supports for analysis, unless it is substantiated that the installation of the VSCs results in improvement of the surrounding soils such that the modulus of subgrade reaction, long-term settlement and post-earthquake settlement can be considered uniform throughout.

  1813.4 Installation. VSCs shall be installed with vibratory probes. Vertical columns of compacted unbounded aggregate shall be formed through the soils to be improved by adding gravel near the tip of the vibrator and progressively raising and re-penetrating the vibrator, which will results in the gravel being pushed into the surrounding soil. Gravel aggregate for VSCs shall be well graded with a maximum size of 6 inches and not more than 10 percent smaller than [3] / 8 inch after compaction.

  1813.5 Construction Documents. Construction documents for VSCs, at a minimum, shall include the following: 1. Size, depth and location of VSCs. 2. The extent of soil improvements along with building/structure foundation outlines. 3. Field verification requirements and acceptance criteria using CPT/SPT. 4. The locations where CPT/SPT shall be performed. 5. A Testing, Inspection and Observation (TIO) program indicating the inspection and observation required for the VSCs.
