The next chapter in the 'Back to Basics' webinar series takes a focused look at commissioning HVAC pump systems using the structure outlined in ASHRAE commissioning process (Guideline 0 and Guideline 1.1). Commissioning is essential for reliable and efficient operation, but many steps can feel complex or difficult to verify. This session simplifies the full ASHRAE framework, showing what each phase requires and how it applies directly to pump-centric hydronic systems.

We will also explore how smart pumping technology modernizes the commissioning experience. With embedded intelligence, sensorless control, diagnostics, and cloud connectivity, smart pumps help reduce manual effort, support accurate system verification, and strengthen performance testing. Attendees will see how digital tools and trending data validate system operation and support ongoing optimization long after start-up.

The session includes a step-by-step review of the commissioning workflow for smart pumps, common field pitfalls, and how smart technology helps prevent or detect issues early.
