auto-email 3. Examine how to build Cx reports in a cloud-based environment 4. Gain insight into the sustainable, paperless nature of cloud-based
commissioning, including potential cost savings benefits
Learning Objectives
Cx 2.0: Definition
Cx 2.0 is a cloud-‐based ini3a3ve designed to improve the user's experience. Every team member is considered a user, from the Commissioning Authority to the designer, from the contractor to the owner.
Cx 2.0 makes the commissioning process -‐ along with its' data and informa3on -‐ transparent, open and instantly available. From anywhere.
Overview of A+ributes
• User friendly • Cloud-‐based • Sustainable • Instant updates • Transparent • Organizes files, tasks • Project management made easy
Cloud-‐based commissioning let’s you put your hands on what you need, now.
Cx 2.0: The User Experience
• Cx 2.0 can change the place
settings. • The Commissioning Authority is
no longer at the center of the process.
• The team is. Everyone participates.
Focuses on the User
The “user” is everyone involved in the process: the owner, designer, contrac3ng team and the commissioning authority.
Owner Designers
Contractors Commissioning Authority
Cx Team
An Alterna7ve Experience
Cx 2.0 doesn’t change the rules. The tradi3onal commissioning process is s3ll followed. But it’s easier.
“Bottom-up, social commissioning”
Cx 2.0: Openness
Distributed Commissioning ‘Authority’
Simple tools can make a big difference in a complex process
Shared responsibility Shared documents, always available Transparency
Some3mes owners and construc3on managers are unsure of ‘what’s next’ in the commissioning process. It can be inconvenient to locate a 100-‐200 page Commissioning Plan and have to siU through the document to answer that ques3on. Why not have simple, cloud-‐based checklists?
Cx 2.0: New Ways to ‘Work’
Cx 2.0: Tools
Cloud-‐Based Cx Website Cx 2.0 Test forms -‐ Op3mized for tablets (iPad, etc.) Clear, easy-‐to-‐use documenta3on
New or Improved Tools
Saves Time
Cx 2.0 deploys CxIDs – Commissioning Interface Devices, including tablet computers.
Cx 2.0 - Transparency
Everyone can close their own issues
Tradi3onal methods can s3ll be u3lized, but cloud-‐based commissioning gives you op3ons.
Cx Issues Log Track tasks/issues – transparent to entire team
The tradi3onal way of managing an Issues Log is that issues can only be closed by the Commissioning Authority. This method can create delays in updates. When you u3lize the convenience of a cloud-‐based issues list, resolu3on turn-‐around 3me can improve drama3cally.
Cx 2.0: Efficient
A well designed cloud-‐based site can make managing commissioning easy and fast. The simpler the site, the wider the adop3on rate.
Dashboard – simple, tabbed browsing • Intui3ve • Easy • Li^le to no training
Simple = Efficient
Unlimited users Unlimited files
Certain site design features, such as tabbed browsing, encourage quick, intui3ve learning -‐ requiring li^le to no training
Complex = More Features • Deeper integra3on • More training
Cx 2.0: Organized
Cx Files – all in one place, easy file sharing It just makes sense
Highly Organized
Documents are just a click or two away – for the en3re team to access, any3me, from anywhere.
Easy to find documents for the Cx Final Report & Systems Manual
Cx 2.0 - Instant Reports & Updates
With just one click, a complete Commissioning Update Report is ready to be emailed.
Reports – Instant updates, print to PDF & Excel
Cx Status Report Instant distribu3on Timely updates
One-‐Click Repor7ng
Cx 2.0: Sustainable
KPIT Data Center Pleasanton, CA Electrical Cx Only
Case Study 1 -‐ Paper versus Cloud
$10,909 versus $1,800
16.5% of Paper Cost Final Report Only
Other areas of savings can include Issues Log management, file centraliza3on, and use of tablets for tes3ng
Cx 2.0: Savings
Healthcare Facility Confiden3al Loca3on Mechanical & Electrical Cx Three year project – on-‐going
Case Study 2 -‐ Paper versus Cloud
$75,000 – budget for MEP Cx documenta3on
Poten3al Savings up to 83.5% $62,625
There are 'hidden' savings. For example, what is the value of having team members become be^er organized or be quicker to respond?
Cx 2.0: Potential Looking Ahead
Asset Management -‐ the transi3on of informa3on from construc3on to O&M
from the old way...
... to the easy way
Cloud-‐based tools & services are changing the way business is done
