The commissioning process provides verification that the ______ are implemented in both the ______ and ______. Which two terms correctly complete this statement?

• A. Owner's Project Requirements; Design and Construction
• B. Design and Construction; Owner's Project Requirements
• C. Owner's Project Requirements; Operations and Maintenance
• D. Project Requirements; Design and Construction

Answer: (A)

The point being tested is that commissioning checks whether the owner’s needs and performance criteria are actually realized through the project’s design and its construction. The Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR) capture what the owner wants in terms of function, performance, and outcomes. During commissioning, the design is reviewed to ensure it translates the OPR into proper specifications and systems, and construction is inspected to confirm the built project reflects that design intent and meets the OPR. This ensures the final building will deliver what the owner specified from the outset. Post-occupancy or operating phase aspects aren’t the focus of this verification, and the standard term is Owner’s Project Requirements rather than a generic “Project Requirements.”
