Post-acceptance Step is applied in building systems which the performance is seasonally changed and the DR demands the annual performance like an air-conditioning system. This Post-Acceptance Step is placed as the final step of I-Cx process. The role of CA in this step is to identify the seasonal system performance. That is, in case of air conditioning system, identifying the system performance for peak cooling season, peak heating season and intermediate season co-exisiting both modes of cooling and heating. The Post-Acceptance Step's Cx includes the seasonal FPT, and the annual performance evaluation and stability of automatic control response, which would be implemented using BEMS in most cases. The faults that were listed up at the Acceptance Step to be solved and are found newly during this step should be corrected and readjusted as early as possible. All of the I-Cx is completed if this step is finished. The CA makes a final Cx report and submits it to the owner. The Post-Acceptance Step's term mostly coincides with the warranty term of the construction, and the seasonal FPT above mentioned is considered to be requested in the range of the construction. There would be a case that the final payment of project is postponed until one year after the occupation, but the milestone between the Acceptance and Post-Acceptance Steps is guided by this GLOSSARY.
