Steps

  1. Reference NIBS Guideline 3-2012, Building Enclosure Commissioning Process (BECx), for the owner-driven process structure
  2. Confirm the guideline is intended for use alongside ASHRAE Guideline 0-2005 (general commissioning process) and aligns with ASTM E2813
  3. Scope the full performance-objective list the guideline addresses (moisture, air flow, heat flow, structural performance, durability, resiliency, security, aesthetics, constructability, maintainability, sustainability) into the OPR
  4. Structure the process to begin at pre-design and continue through occupancy and operations, per the guideline's recommended timeline
  5. Note the guideline's emphasis on materials/assemblies focus as the key difference from commissioning other building systems
  6. Pull the current publication from nibs.org (or WBDG mirror) to confirm no superseding edition has been issued as of 2026
