BOD stands for which term?

• A. Basis of Declaration
• B. Basis of Design
• C. Building Operation Development
• D. Baseline Of Design

Answer: (B)

In commissioning practice, Basis of Design describes the design intent and criteria that determine how the project will meet the owner’s requirements. It is produced by the design team and includes performance targets, selected equipment, control strategies, sequences of operation, energy goals, and the assumptions that underlie the design. This document becomes the baseline reference for verifying that what is built and how it operates align with the planned design. It also provides the rationale and detail used to develop the commissioning plan and test procedures, and it is updated if design changes occur. That is why Basis of Design is the correct term. The other options are not standard terms used to describe this concept in commissioning.
