CIBSE has published new guidance for commissioning ventilation and ductwork systems.
Commissioning Code A: Air distribution systems should be read alongside CIBSE’s Commissioning Code M: Commissioning management and additional guidance from BSRIA and the CSA, which offer detailed implementation instructions.
Effective commissioning of buildings requires specialised skills and knowledge, as well as early involvement in the project life-cycle to influence key construction decisions. Combined
with good maintenance practices, it ensures a safe, high-quality, comfortable, and energy-efficient internal environment for building occupants. It also plays a crucial role in reducing
carbon footprints during the construction phase and operation of buildings.
CIBSE thanks the guide’s sponsors: Ashford Environmental Services, Atomic Weapons Establishment, CxAlloy, Sutton Services International, and Taylor & Stapleton. Commissioning Code A is available on the CIBSE Knowledge Portal www.cibse.org/knowledge.
● A webinar introducing Code A is taking place on 21 August. For more information and to register, visit Code A Webinar.
