FAQs about EAp1 :

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

What type of certification is the commissioning agent required to have?

The comissioning 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?

NC-2009 EAp1:Fundamental Commissioning of Building Energy Systems

Commissioning for overseas projects

Hi, we have a small USGBC LEED-NC project (400m2) in Kuwait where the Owner wants us (LEED Consultancy firm in Canada) to hire a commissioning agent (as the "brain") in canada to oversee the commissioning site work there (as the "eyes"). The Commissioning Agent here would prepare all OPR and BOD, and the site person would simply follow instructions and document. Is this a practical suggestion? Any advice from past experiences will be extremely helpful. Thanks, Natalie

There is no restriction on where the CxA is from with relation to the project. Concerning practicality, there is much job site work that has to be completed so you will need to evaluate the travel cost of a remote CxA in addition to their qualifications and experience.
