Has anyone purused this credit for a project previously receiving the Enhanced Commissioning Credit for LEED NC Certification? And if so, do you know if the performance period for the EB On-going Commissioning can ap back into the 10 Month post substantial commissioning period for the NC enhanced commissioning credit?
THANKS!

I'm concerned that documenting EA2.1 and EA2.2 are independent of documenting EA2.3 and require independent processes. In short, if your team is identifying cost saving measures during the first 10 months using EA2.1 it might not satisfy putting into practice 50% of an ongoing retro commissioning plan. (Required by this credit.)
What are your thoughts?

That's a good point...the issue might be more about whether work done can contribute to the credit if it was done before a 'Formal LEED compliant' retro-commissiong plan was developed (but within the 2 year window provided by initial EB certification).....Maybe as part of an alternative compliance path around 'out of LEED sequence' work that meets the credit intent?

Doug,
I have the same question. Did you ever pursue using a LEED NC Enhanced Commissioning as the 1st half of the Ongoing RCx process? Did it work?
Thanks,
Sonrisa
