Which activity is typically performed by Architects and Engineers during commissioning?

• A. Review the commissioning plan
• B. Execute and document startup tests
• C. Provide field run-time logs
• D. Install equipment

Answer: (A)

During commissioning, architects and engineers focus on ensuring the project plan translates the design intent into verifiable checks. Reviewing the commissioning plan is the activity that best fits their role because it sets up what will be tested, how it will be tested, and the acceptance criteria that prove performance aligns with the design. This step ensures tests cover required design criteria, responsibilities are clear, and the sequence of operations aligns with specifications. Executing and documenting startup tests, providing field run-time logs, and installing equipment are typically handled by the commissioning team or contractors, facility operators, and installers, respectively.
