Report
Purpose and Procedure for Drafting the Document
What Is a Ventilation Commissioning Report?
A ventilation commissioning report documents the process of verifying that a ventilation system has been installed correctly and performs as intended. It includes system identification, commissioning context, verification results, defects, and a final verdict.
Purpose of the Report
This template is used after installation or major retrofit to confirm that the system meets design specifications and is ready for operation. It provides a formal record for handover and future reference.
Key Features
The report captures system ID, location, type, commissioning date, engineer, project reference, test results, measurements, observations, defects, commissioning verdict (pass/fail/conditional), recommendations, photos, and signatures from the engineer and client.
New Installation Handover
Use the report to formally hand over a newly installed ventilation system to the client. It confirms that all components are installed and functioning correctly.
Major Retrofit Verification
After a major retrofit, the report verifies that the modified system meets updated performance requirements. It documents any adjustments made during commissioning.
System Acceptance
The report supports the acceptance process by providing documented evidence that the system operates within specified parameters. It may be required before final payment.
Warranty Documentation
Commissioning reports are often required to activate warranties. They provide baseline performance data that can be referenced if issues arise.
Regulatory Sign-Off
In some jurisdictions, a commissioning report is required to demonstrate compliance with building codes or ventilation standards before the system can be used.
- 1
Design Review
Review the system design and specifications to understand performance targets and testing requirements.
- 2
Installation Verification
Inspect the installed components to ensure they match the design and are correctly installed. Check nameplates and documentation.
- 3
Functional Testing and Air Balancing
Perform functional tests on all components, measure airflow and pressure, and balance the system to achieve design targets.
- 4
Report Generation
Compile all test results, observations, and defects into the report. Obtain signatures from the commissioning engineer and client to finalize.
Photo Report Generator
Use the photo report generator to include installation overview photos, nameplate images, and test setup pictures in the commissioning report.

Frequently Asked Questions about Photo Reports and Photo Tables
What is the difference between commissioning and inspection?
Commissioning is performed after installation or retrofit to verify that the system operates according to design specifications. Inspection is a broader assessment of condition and may occur at any time during the system's life.
What does a conditional pass mean?
A conditional pass means the system meets most requirements but has minor issues that need to be addressed within a specified timeframe. The report should document the conditions and recommended actions.
Who should sign the commissioning report?
The report should be signed by the commissioning engineer who performed the tests and the client or their representative who accepts the system.
What types of tests are typically included?
Tests may include airflow measurement, air change rate calculation, pressure differential checks, temperature differential verification, and functional tests of fans, dampers, and controls.
Can I use this report for air balancing documentation?
Yes, the report includes fields for measurements and test results that can document air balancing activities. The workflow includes an air balancing step.
