CS-2009 EAp1:Fundamental Commissioning of Building Energy Systems

Residential HVAC included in commissioning scope of LEED CS?

I am working on a condominium project which is planning to certify LEED CS. The residential units will be sold to buyers when the construction is complete. The project owner will build the structure and core MEP. The interior construction of residential areas, including HVAC, will be left to buyer. There would be no central HVAC system in the core of the building. The project owner explained that buyers would install their own HVAC based on their interior design and required cooling load. Shall I include the HVAC systems of residential units in my commissioning scope? If not, it would be very few items in commissioning scope because most of HVAC service would be residential areas and there is not much HVAC equipment need to be commissioned for this project. Thank you.

Jorng-ren, you must only commission equipment that falls within the LEED-CS scope.
