What are the pros and cons of having either the MEP engineers or the CxA be responsible for documenting the M&V plan?

FAQs about EAc5:
Is the gas consumption of stoves, ovens, etc. required under this point?
When should a project consider Option B instead of Option D?
Is there a requirement to model baseline energy use as being 25% process loads?
Does this credit specify how energy use should be measured?

It depends on the individuals involved. It is very hard to make such generalizations but in general the CxA is probably in a better position to do this work since they are already going be doing some of the work required. Be careful however that whoever does it must have a thorough and complete understanding of what needs to be done. M&V is not just some enhancement to the Cx process and requires a somewhat different focus.
Who is doing the project's energy model? Typically whomever does the initial modeling would need to be involved in the M&V effort.
