This question also applies for EE103 [EAc30] (Best Practices Commissioning); Can a representative of the building Owner (Employee in Owner\'s organization) be the Commissioning Agent for a LEED new construction project if this person is not the Project Manager and has the appropriate credentials. If not, to what degree can this Owner\'s representative be a part of the commissioning process?
An employee in the owner\'s organization, who is not responsible for the management of the project and who has the appropriate credentials, may serve as the "independent" commissioning authority for both EA Prerequisite 1 and EA Credit 3 (all five steps). For further clarification, refer to the previous credit inquiry ruling (9999-EAp10-102601).Applicable internationally.
