Tier IV Consulting Group was the principal commissioning firm for a large Tier III corporate data center that was constructed in our client’s new World Headquarters building. The commissioning process followed the guidelines set forth in the ASHRAE Guideline 0. The commissioning program included review of the Owner’s Project Requirements Document and the Basis of Design Document, a design peer review, a review of all submittals for compliance, input on potential design modifications related to construction cost savings, oversite of factory startup testing and full management and control of integrated testing. Numerous deficiencies were identified and corrected during the commissioning program that, had they not been identified during construction and commissioning, may have resulted in a failure of the data center. The owner engaged Tier IV Consulting Group to assist in the development of policies and procedures. We were also engaged to provide additional training to the onsite facilities staff.
Tier IV Consulting Group is the principal commissioning firm for a large Tier IV data center that is currently under construction. This facility will eventually serve as the primary data center for our client. Our principal role is to oversee the factory startup and individual system commissioning and to perform all integrated testing. Our integrated commissioning program will include all normal modes of operations. Where possible, multiple failure modes will be introduced into the system to verify proper system response and notification.
