520 _aDiscussion about the poor performance of many buildings. Points out that the design engineer is often sidelined in the construction or refurbishment process at the expense of the developer or contractor, but if mistakes are made responsibility will often come back to the designer. Argues that commissioning needs to take place at all stages of the design process from concept, installation and pre-commissioning through performance testing and final handover. This is especially important in buildings such as hospitals and prisons which are in use 24 hours a day. Gives some key rules for making the commissioning engineer's job easier and to help reduce conflict, including the minimising of on site commissioning and the review of design information.
