Functional Performance Test Checklist HVAC Controls

For HVAC System: All HVAC Controls
The Contracting Officer will select HVAC control systems to undergo functional performance testing. The number of systems shall not exceed 2. 1. Functional Performance Test: Contractor shall verify operation of HVAC controls by performing the following tests: a. Verify that controller is maintaining the set point by manually measuring the controlled variable with a thermometer, sling psychrometer,inclined manometer, etc. b. Verify sensor/controller combination by manually measuring the controlled medium. Take readings from control panel display and compare readings taken manually. Record all readings. Sensor ___________________________________________ Manual measurement _______________________________ Panel reading value ______________________________ c. Verify system stability by changing the controller set point as follows: (1) Air temperature - 10 degrees F (2) Water temperature - 10 degrees F (3) Static pressure - 10 percent of set point (4) Relative humidity - percent (RH) The control system shall be observed for 10 minutes after the change in set point. Instability or excessive hunting will be unacceptable. d. Verify interlock with other HVAC controls. e. Verify interlock with fire alarm control panel. f. Verify interlock with EMCS. g. Change controller set point 10 percent with EMCS and verify correct response. 2. Verify that operation of control system conforms to that specified in the sequence of operation. 3. Certification: We the undersigned have witnessed the above functional performance tests and certify that the item tested has met the performance requirements in this section of the specifications.
