The HVAC systems that support the stadium's state-of-the-art amenities and services are critical to creating and sustaining a relaxing and enjoyable environment for the fans. That's why the Philadelphia Eagles contracted Wick Fisher White to provide commissioning services for the stadium's newly installed heating and closed circuit cooling systems. As commissioning agent, WFW was responsible for ensuring that the equipment and systems perform as intended.
Our scope of services included:
-Creation of testing and commissioning plan
-Review and approval of contractors' equipment and system startup procedures
-Creation of pre-functional and functional performance test requirements
-Functional performance testing
-Commissioning action list (issues to be addressed by design and construction team
-Verification of contractor closeout requirements (training, warrantees, O&M manuals, record drawings, etc.)
WFW promotes "building systems commissioning" as a quality assurance process. Resolving issues during the commissioning process will prevent problems from arising down the road.

Wick Fisher White developed a testing and commissioning plan for the new Heart Center located in the Pavillion Building at the Frankford Hospital - Torresdale Campus. Testing protocols were established from information gathered through meetings, field tests, review of construction documents, review of operation and maintenance manuals, and site visits. Our report documented all activities during the commissioning process and the results obtained during the process. Frankford Hospitals will use the commissioning document as a point of reference for future facility operation and maintenance services, since it contains the baseline performance data for all systems installed to serve the Heart Center.

A 5000 square foot building addition was constructed to the existing Greenville MSC. The new addition included a power room and electrical room. New redundant air conditioning (CRAC) units, controls, fire alarm and smoke management commissioned by WFW. The project scope included WFW writing the commissioning protocols, observing and directing the functional testing performed by the contractors and preparing an issues log. WFW assisted the contractors in rectifying the issues and found some issue within the existing building for operations to review and repair. There have been no reported contractor call backs since issues have been resolved.

The National constitution Center engaged WFW to perform RetroCommissioning of existing building systems for it's main facility located on Independence Mall in Philadelphia, PA. A water chilled plant, boiler plant and 11 air handling units and associated system were included within the scope of work. A plan was developed to document this equipment and all system functions. WFW then created testing procedures and directed building personnel in performance of functional testing. All results were then documented to note system issues and deficiencies. The goal of the operation of building system with improved control, energy efficiency and comfort was successfully achieved.

WFW developed the commissioning protocols and performed commissioning for a 180,000 square foot facility in Southlake, Texas. The facility consisted of 15 Air handling systems, 1000 ton chilled water plant, smoke exhaust and FM-200 purge. The work involved creating a 80 page document for use by the commissioning team to use for test and acceptance by the owner. The document listed the task to do, what should happen and remarks section to write what actually happened. Along with the mechanical systems, we commissioned the Emergency Generators, UPS, Fire Protection and Fire Alarm systems.

Wick Fisher White was contracted to design Telephone Switching Centers (MTSO) throughout the nation for U.S. Cellular, the nation's eighth largest wireless telecommunications provider. The prototype was designed and adapted to multiple locations in Maine, New Hampshire, Texas, Oklahoma and Missouri. Wick Fisher White was also hired to test and commission the Maine and New Hampshire facilities.
