Hello -
I am working with a 60,000 sq ft bulk retail project seeking LEED certification. The engineering firm we are working with has a disinterested employee with experience comissioning HVAC systems in other large commercial projects. However, none of his experience is with a retail building specifically.
What does the USGBC mean when they say experience with projects of similar scope and type? All the form asks for is sq ft and use type ...
Thanks,
Megan

If the commissioning agent has experience with a range of commercial building hvac systems of similar size that should be sufficient. Someone who only worked with residential hvac, toll booths or tanning salons might not fit the bill. Similarly if you had a complex, specialized building such as a hospital or particle accelerator you might need someone else.
