Search Commissioning Records and Certificates
Commissioning records document the original performance benchmarks for every building system. PM Assist makes these records searchable, so you can reference original set points, flow rates, and test results without digging through handover packs manually.
The Importance of Commissioning Data
Commissioning records document the tested and verified performance of building systems at the point of handover. They include air flow rates for ventilation systems, water flow rates for heating and cooling circuits, electrical test results, BMS set points, and system balance data. This information is the baseline against which ongoing system performance should be measured.
When building systems are not performing as expected, the first step in diagnosis is often to compare current operating parameters against the original commissioning data. Without quick access to these records, engineers cannot determine whether a system has drifted from its design intent or whether the current parameters are correct.
Finding Commissioning Data Quickly
Commissioning records are typically included in the building handover pack but may be spread across multiple documents: commissioning certificates for individual systems, BSRIA-format commissioning sheets, BMS commissioning schedules, and system-specific test reports. Finding a specific data point requires knowing which document to look in.
PM Assist eliminates this problem by searching across all commissioning documentation simultaneously. You can ask "What was the commissioning flow rate for FCU-3.01?" or "What are the original BMS set points for the heating system?" and get answers with references to the source documents.

Using Commissioning Data for Ongoing Operations
Beyond initial troubleshooting, commissioning records are valuable for seasonal recommissioning, energy optimisation, and preparing for system modifications. When FM teams are asked to improve energy performance, the commissioning data shows what the systems were designed to achieve, providing a clear target for optimisation work.
Commissioning data is also essential during building performance evaluations under frameworks like NABERS, BREEAM In-Use, and Display Energy Certificates, where evidence of system performance is required.
