Guideline 1.5-2025 -- Application of the Commissioning Process for Smoke Control Systems ✓ Most Recent

The Commissioning Process (Cx) – described in ASHRAE Guideline 0 and ASHRAE/IES Standard 202 – is a quality-oriented process for verifying and documenting that the performance of facilities, systems, and assemblies meet defined objectives and criteria.

ASHRAE Guideline 1.5 describes the technical requirements for the application of the Cx that will verify the smoke control system fulfills the Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR). The guideline incorporates committee experience on projects where smoke control systems and components were expected to work from the day the project was turned over to the Owner, while meeting the requirements of Owners, occupants, users, and facility operations maintenance service organizations at a high level of satisfaction.
