FAQs about EAp1 :

Our project is considering LEED after construction has begun. Can we meet the EAp1 requirements and thus be eligible for LEED certification?

Can the CxA be a member of the design or construction team?

What type of certification is the CxA required to have?

The commissioning process turned up a few issues with the commissioned systems that should be corrected. Do we have to correct these issues and include documentation of that as part of our LEED documentation?

Can the CxA be contracted through the general contractor if the owner requires a single contract for the project?

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?

CI-v4 EAp1:Fundamental commissioning and verification

USGBC approved equivalent for ASHRAE standards

Hi,

I am working on a LEED project within the UK, and I am trying to understand the alternative paths to ASHRAE Guideline 0-2013, ASHRAE Guideline 1.1–2007 for HVAC&R System, ASHRAE 90.1-2016  to meet EAp1, EAp2.

Many thanks,
Ali

Hi Alexander We are in the UK too. When I asked the question of USGBC about 3 years ago the answer was no, but that might have changed in the last few year?  We always use ASHRAE 90.1.  TAS & IES both have ASHRAE bolt ons for doing the modelling. Karen.

Sorry for the incredibly late comment. Since Cx is about process, I think you would still need to comply with the standards. This is not about metric versus imperial.
