In which phase of a control project do AV installers and control system designers work together to ensure system functionality?

During the commissioning phase of a control project, AV installers and control system designers collaborate closely to ensure that the system operates as intended. This phase is critical because it involves integrating various components and verifying that they work together effectively. It includes tasks such as programming the control systems, setting up user interfaces, and adjusting settings to match the intended specifications and functionality.

Commissioning goes beyond mere installation; it ensures that all systems are not only physically installed but also that they are functioning correctly within the environment they are intended to operate. This phase often involves troubleshooting and fine-tuning to address any issues that arise during the initial setup, making it a collaborative effort between installers and designers to achieve optimal performance. Through thorough testing during commissioning, they validate system reliability, user accessibility, and responsiveness, essential for a successful AV implementation.
