New
ASHRAE Guideline Focuses On Smoke Control System
Commissioning
ASHRAE has issued a new guideline on commissioning for smoke control
systems.
Guideline 1.5-2012, The
Commissioning Process for Smoke Control Systems,
describes the
technical requirements of the commissioning process described in
ASHRAE’s
Guideline 0-2005, The
Commissioning Process, to verify that the smoke
control system
achieves the owner’s project requirements. The guideline includes
annexes that
are based on actual project experience and current practice and
illustrate
application of the commissioning process for smoke control systems and
components. It builds upon the concepts of Guideline 5, Commissioning
Smoke Management
System, and replaces it.
