An HVAC startup checklist records the readings when a system first runs: supply and return air temperatures, static pressure, and superheat or subcooling. Then it confirms heating and cooling both work, filters are in, the thermostat is programmed, and the owner got a walkthrough.
Commissioning checks at startup.
