Topic:
Commissioning Plan
-
Question:
Should the wording for who is to develop the commissioning plan, and therefore conduct the commissioning process, include that the person or approved agency be a 3rd party not affiliated with the design firm or mechanical/electrical engineering firm?
-
Comments:
The CxP (Commissioning Provider) should be an objective, independent advocate of the Owner. If the CxP's firm has other project responsibilities, or is not under direct contract to the Owner, a conflict of interest will exist. Per USGBC LEED requirements, the CxP should be an independent consultant or a disinterested subcontractor of the design team. The Building Commissioning Association (BCxA) also advocates this; see attached.
