NC-v4 EAp1: Fundamental commissioning and verification
Our project is a county-owned building which will utilize renewable energy from an existing, adjacent, county-owned PV farm. We are pursuing both Fundamental and Enhanced Commissioning credits; are we required to retro-commission the existing PV system?
Thanks!

For a building with individual systems per unit, does every single system need to be commissioned?
What kinds of projects must the CxA demonstrate experience on?
What level of authority does the CxA have towards correcting inaccurate or erroneous construction?
Can the CxA be a member of the design or construction team?

My interpretation is that this would fall into the "out of project boundary, off campus, partial use for your project (not whole PV array allocated to you), but passing over all environmental attributes associated with this percentage of energy usage" pg 434 of the LEEDv4 user manual flow chart. In this case its the same if you were purchasing this renewable energy from a 3rd party (not county owned), which they would not require retro-cx of the existing PV system. As a Cx Provider - I would not include it in my SOW to meet the minimum requirements of the credit.
