Qualifications for CxA state they must have documented commissioning authority on at least 2 building projects.
Is there any commissioning authority experience outside of LEED CxA experience that can qualify a person to commission a project under 50,000 sf?
We are looking for guidance as to the extent of experience required to perform fundamental Commisioning services for our project.

The wording is “commissioning authority”, not that it has to be a LEED project. Our firm does a lot of commissioning, and still only a little over half are on projects that are also seeking LEED certification. So we have staff work on several projects, both LEED and not, under an experienced CxA, then when they are ready, we name them as the CxA, and they can show the requisite qualifications.
