Project Management in the Oil and Gas Industry
• Inform (I) = Make this party aware of the activity or result or 
provide a copy of the deliverable
• Verify (V) = Confirm the accuracy or completeness of the 
task
7.7.1.2 Define Owner’s Project Requirements with the Customer 
Agency
The objective of commissioning is to provide documented confirmation 
that a facility fulfills the functional and performance requirements of GSA, 
occupants, and operators. To attain this goal, it is necessary to establish and 
document.
The owner sets project requirements and criteria for system function, 
performance, and maintainability. The Owner’s Project Requirements will 
form the basis from which all design, construction, acceptance, and opera-
tional decisions are made. The following suggested categories provide a 
framework for the types of requirements that shall be considered.
7.7.1.3 Develop Preliminary Commissioning Plan
The Commissioning Plan establishes the framework for how commis-
sioning will be handled and managed on a given project. This includes 
a discussion of the commissioning process, schedule, team, team mem-
ber responsibilities, communication structures, and a general descrip-
tion of the systems to be commissioned. This preliminary version of 
the plan shall be developed by the GSA PM in conjunction with the 
Customer Agency. The suggested structure of the Commissioning Plan 
is as follows. All information in the Commissioning Plan must be proj-
ect specific.
7.7.1.4 Commissioning for Certifications (LEED, Energy Star, etc.)
For a housing building, the building commissioning system looks for 
the building design that will achieve energy saving through leadership in 
Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). Any building will be certified 
as a green building if its design achieves points to be a gold, silver, or plati-
num building and some of its points are gained by using the total building 
commissioning system.
Development of the preliminary Commissioning Plan and initial com-
missioning scope shall also include a discussion regarding project certifi-
cations and goal attainment (i.e. LEED, Energy Star, Energy Goals, Design 
Awards, etc.).
