    The document provides a template for documenting the Basis of Design (BOD) for small building HVAC, lighting, and water heating systems as required for LEED commissioning. For the HVAC system, it includes sections for a narrative description, reasons for selection, load calculations, and sequence of operations. For indoor lighting, it includes sections for a narrative description, reasons for selection, design criteria, and power targets. For water heating, it includes sections for a narrative description, reasons for selection, and load calculations. The template is intended to guide the design team in explaining system selections and demonstrating compliance with owner and code requirements.
