Partial Commissioning at the time of submission

Not sure how to answer this, as I know of no “partial” commissioning. All energy consuming systems must be commissioned. We consider these as two systems, in that lighting control is normally switching or occupancy control, where daylighting is dimming or stepping. The latter requires a much different approach to functional performance testing to make sure it is adjusted right to get the most energy savings. What do you base your “partial” commissioning option upon?

Ok, it is not what you commission that you are asking, it is more a question of when you submit. Sorry, I misunderstood. I have never used this option, we always have the report done and only have a few items left to be resolved by the time the contractors are ready with their credits. We do not like to be the last one to mark our credits ready to submit, but we also like having most of the action items resolved, and perhaps the only things left are seasonal testing and the warranty review (for enhanced). So I cannot give you guidance, but in my opinion, lighting would be one system, there are just two aspects you are testing. But again, I have not used this option ever, so do not know how GBCI would look at this.
