Commissioning Budget

I hate to be vague, but the answer is really "it depends". Each project is very unique, and while there are some baseline costs that every Cx project requires, the major item is time on site doing Functional Performance Testing. So, the amount of equiipment, the type of equipment, the desired statistical testing, fundamental only, enhanced too, etc all factor into the cost.

CI is somewhat unique in that the amount of equipment that is under control of the tennant is highly variable as well, which greatly affects the scope.

My recommendation is to talk with a Cx provider in your area and describe the project or types of projects you do to get an idea of what should be budgeted. In our CI projects, their is no real trend, we have projects that were $0.50/sf to $1.50/sf. It really "depends" on the project!

Hi,

In the fundamental commisioning v2009 analysis it is considered that enhance commissioning represents a "25%–40% cost increase over fundamental commissioning". https://leeduser.buildinggreen.com/credit/NC-2009/EAp1

Is this also true in LEED v4?

Thanks,
