The current accreditations/certifications that are out there for commissioning agents are not very meaningful due to limited curriculum and a lack of field experience required to earn them. We'd recommend looking for Cx agents through local utilities, state and local agencies, or full members of the Building Commissioning Association. Also, any prospective agents should be able to demonstrate experience on a similar project type. Note that CI 2009 Cx credits are now aligned with all the other rating systems. As such, Cx requirements have become more stringent than CI 2.0 and Cx agents now need to have experience in at least 2 projects. This wasn't the case for CI 2.0
