Performance Verification Test
Conduct the performance verification tests to demonstrate that the control
system maintains setpoints and that the control loops are tuned for the
correct sequence of operation. Conduct the performance verification test
during one week of continuous HVAC and control systems operation and before
final acceptance of work. Specifically, the performance verification test
shall demonstrate that the HVAC system operates properly through the
complete sequence of operation (e.g., seasonal, occupied and unoccupied,
warm up, etc.), for specified control sequences. Demonstrate proper
control system response for abnormal conditions for which there is a
specified system or controls response by simulating these conditions.
Demonstrate that hardware interlocks and safety devices work as designed.
Demonstrate that the control system performs the correct sequence of
control.

Opposite Season Test
Repeat the performance verification test during an opposite season to the
first performance verification test.

TRAINING
Provide a qualified instructor to conduct training courses for designated
personnel in maintenance and operation of HVAC and control systems.
Orientate training to the specific system being installed under the
contract. Furnish audiovisual equipment and other training materials and
supplies. A training day is defined as 8 hours of classroom or lab
instruction, including two 15-minute breaks and excluding lunch time,
Monday through Friday, during the daytime shift in effect at the training
facility. For guidance, assume that the attendees have a high school
education and are familiar with HVAC systems. Submit planned training
schedule, agenda, and class materials to the Government at least 45 days
prior to training.
3.4.1
Training Course Documentation
Training shall be based on the operation and maintenance manuals and
control system training manual. Deliver manuals for each trainee with two
additional sets for archiving at the project site. Include an agenda,
defined objectives, and a detailed description of subject matter for each
lesson.
3.4.2
Operator Training I
The first class shall be taught for a period of 5 consecutive training days
at least 1 month prior to the scheduled performance verification test. The
first course shall be taught in a Government-provided facility on base.
Training shall be classroom instruction, but have hands-on operation of
similar digital controllers. Maximum of [5] [_____] personnel shall attend
the course. Upon completion of course, each student, using appropriate
documentation, shall be able to perform elementary operations, with
guidance, and describe general hardware and functionality of the system.
Course shall include but not be limited to description of hardware and
operation of the system.
3.4.3
