title: Total building commissioning.
abstract: Healthcare facilities are generally commissioned according to standards laid down by specific stipulations or the consultant engineers. This commissioning process is normally only concerned with the physical functioning of the building services and is aimed at ensuring the installed services are operating according to the engineers' specifications. It is no longer acceptable just to conduct a thorough clean, commonly called a hospital clean, and consider that as adequate for patient occupation, writes Kevin Moon.
