Cx Authority

I could have sworn that I have answered this before, but not in some time apparently, at least on this thread. There is very little guidance on this, which is why you are asking I am sure. While I cannot give you an authoritative answer (I do not work for GBCI), I am not hesitant in my answer.

First, the project do not have to be LEED, but obviously that would be a positive. If the CxA has done a LEED project, and it is applicable, then I will put in the identification number, in case the reviewer wants to take a look.

Second, while size is one aspect of experience, I feel that system types are more of an indicator. If you are working on a project with large air handlers, chillers, and boilers, then a person with only unitary equipment or roof top units might not be the right one. Size is not always the indicator.

Same goes for market. If the project is a large hospital, proposing someone that has only done schools may or may not be appropriate...it all depends on the systems. In this case size has little to do with it, as an OR or an isolation room is a very special animal, so systems are more important in this case.

All this being said, and this is my opinion only, I have not seen much questioning by GBCI on this point. You only are listing a project, with out much detail, so it is difficult to really tell based on the submittal.

Very thoughtful and well put, Scott. I've distilled this down a bit and made it an FAQ in our guidance above on this page. Thanks!

Thank you all. You have been most helpful.
