Can the commissioning agent listed on the form for EAp1 Fundamental Commissioning be different from the CxA listed on the form for EAc3 Enhanced Commissioning?

Mike, that's a deceptively simple question. Nowhere in LEED does it say that your CxA should be the same for EAp1 and EAc3. So I think the correct answer to your quesetion is yes. However, I'd be careful that the tasks in these two credits were divided up carefully.

Hello,
I've read in the LEED reference guide, table 2 (page 221) the following: ''The same CxA overseeing the enhanced commissioning tasks must also oversee the fundamental commissioning tasks''.
So, what I understand is that the CxA must be the same for EAp1 and EAc3, even though the CxA name of the forms for these credits are not linked directly.
Hope this helps.

You can have two different Cx agents. We did a CIR on this topic in the last year. The owner demanded that the building's design engineering firm's Cx department be involved in the project. They could not be the Enhanced Cx per LEED. The question wasn't if but how. The feed back was that the Enhanced CxA had to lead, review and oversee the other CxA. Set up the responsibility matrix to run things through the Enhanced CxA.
