| 7<\/td>\n | 5.2 The information contained in the Systems Manual is given by the project and CxP Teams to provide essential information needed by the O&M staff to understand, operate, and maintain the building\u2019s systems and assemblies, optimally operate the bui… 5.3 The necessary sections of the Systems Manual are used in the initial and subsequent training of the O&M staff and occupants. 5.4 The O&M staff uses the Systems Manual to document modifications they implement and the reasoning behind the modifications and improvements. It is also an assembly of needed information for modifications required to meet CFR that will guide modifi… 5.5 The Systems Manual is the assembly of institutional knowledge that records needed information for present operation and future modifications. It is also the history of modifications by all who contribute to the modifications that happen over the … 5.6 The information on the building systems as described in this guideline assumes that it is gathered and assembled as it becomes available during a construction or renovation project. This information may be arranged by building system when that is… 5.7 Production of the Systems Manual will depend on the directives in the OPR, the process of how the project is planned, designed and built, how it is to be operated, and the organization and application of the maintenance program. The responsibilit… 5.8 This guideline is supplemental to the Cx detailed in ANSI\/ASHRAE Standard 202 and ASHRAE Guideline 0 and should be used in conjunction with those and other applicable documents. 5.9 Sections 6 through 11 of this guideline provide guidance on the actions necessary to assemble, produce, utilize, and update the information in the Systems Manual at each stage of the project. The appendices provide examples of documentation and f… 5.10 To ensure compliance with the OPR, a compliance and approval process should exist for each stage of the development and revision of the Systems Manual. The Owner is ultimately responsible for the decisions and approvals on the formats, arrangeme… 6. PREDESIGN- AND PLANNING-PHASE FUNCTIONS 6.1 Introduction. During the new project Predesign Phase or existing facility commissioning (Cx) Planning Phase, the Owner defines the Systems Manual formats, interface requirements, and responsibilities. This should include development, assembly, an… 6.2 Predesign- and Planning-Phase Objectives. During this phase of Systems Manual development, objectives include the following. 6.3 System Manual Structure Requirements.
