FAQs about EAp1 :

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

What type of certification is the commissioning agent required to have?

The comissioning 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?

NC-2009 EAp1:Fundamental Commissioning of Building Energy Systems

Commissioning of a factory machine

Does it need to include Machines (to produce goods) in the scope LEED CxA? Such machines is complex and not considerred as typical energy related system of a building like HVAC, lighting, PV, and DHW. Thanks

No, process equipment or manufacturing machines do not need to be commissioned. While they definitely use energy, they are not part of the building systems. They are systems contained within the building. Most of the industrial clients we work with do commission their process equipment to an extreme level anyway…they have to!
