Perform a room-by-room functional walk-through.
V15 — home system
Post-renovation commissioning
Test systems after work and record baseline values in My Home rather than stopping at visual finishes.
Checked: 2026-08-21
Flows, pressure, temperatures, alarms and equipment should be compared with expectations/manuals.
Leak, CO, electrical fault, overheating or failed safety device: do not accept as a cosmetic deficiency.
Useful tools / data
- Commissioning sheet
- Thermometer/hygrometer
- Photos and serial numbers
What the professional checks
- Measure key performance
- Correct and retest discrepancies
- Hand over manuals, settings and baselines
Sources and limits
Exact requirements depend on jurisdiction, building and scope. Triage prepares the decision; it does not replace inspection, permits, calculations or regulated trades.
V14
Systems to check before closing the work
V14 connects envelope, air, fire, structure, water and code instead of treating each project in isolation.
V16
Advanced diagnostics to cross-check
V16 connects water, soil, climate, safety, materials and seasonal use to existing projects.

Hidden systems and critical interfaces
These checks target costly problems that often appear only after opening assemblies, conversions or changes of use.
Deep retrofit and envelope interfaces
Measure, sequence, drain, dry and verify interfaces before concealing work.
Building interfaces to diagnose before enclosure or replacement
These tools connect structure, water, air, frost, wind and mechanical systems so repairs do not hide the cause.
V28
Finish and service details to verify
V28 connects small details that become costly once finishes are closed.
