FAQs about EAp1 :

Our project is considering LEED after construction has begun. Can we meet the EAp1 requirements and thus be eligible for LEED certification?

Can the CxA be a member of the design or construction team?

What type of certification is the CxA required to have?

The commissioning process turned up a few issues with the commissioned systems that should be corrected. Do we have to correct these issues and include documentation of that as part of our LEED documentation?

Can the CxA be contracted through the general contractor if the owner requires a single contract for the project?

For a building with individual systems per unit, does every single system need to be commissioned?

What kinds of projects must the CxA demonstrate experience on?

What level of authority does the CxA have towards correcting inaccurate or erroneous construction?

Hi Shannon, You haven't explained the content of your BAS test. I think the reviewers will look for most of the following verifications: measurement validation, energy and water usage profiles, reporting capability, storage capacity, alarms, access privileges...

Short answer is...no. Just testing the sensors and actuators of a BAS system is only the very first part of functional testing. The real value of the testing is sequences...confirming the correct response/action of the system to match the Sequence of Control.
