What sets precedence - project role of owner or designer?

The project is over 50,000 square feet and we are the owner and commissioning authority and designer of record. What commissioning services are we allowed to provide, fundamental or enhanced?

Sorry David, have not been keeping up! If you are the owner, and have qualified staff, then you can certainly do enhanced commissioning. Our firm project was not as large, but I performed those functions. The fun part is one Principal (me) telling another Principal (the CFO) that changes should be made!

No worries Scott, I am sure you are plenty busy, (quite honestly I do not know how Marcus Sheffer keeps up with all the energy modeling questions). You hit the nail on the head with the Principal to Principal comment. This specific project is our 50,000+ sf corporate office that pursued LEED CI. We needed to be very delicate when delivering our design review comments to our executive team. :)
