Stepp and McFee Discuss Building and Systems Commissioning for Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratories at AAVLD
Architect and Laboratory Planner Andy Stepp, AIA, and Clark & Enersen’s Director of Commissioning Byron McFee, PE, CxA, LEED AP O+M, presented on the commissioning process and how it relates to veterinary diagnostic laboratories (VDL) at the American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians (AAVLD) 2021 Annual Meeting in Aurora, Colorado. Andy and Byron provided an overview of the commissioning process for VDL facilities and its benefits before discussing how to maximize the client’s commissioning value and ensure the successful turnover of the facility to the client.
Benefits include:
- Reduction in change orders and additional cost claims.
- Fewer project delays.
- Shorter building turnover transition period.
- Less post-occupancy corrective work.
