Inquiry

Credit 3.0 for Additional commissioning is quite clear in its requirement that the certification be done by an independent Commissioning Authority (a firm other than the designer). Is the intent of the credit met if the Commissioning Authority is an independent consultant hired by the architect/designer?

Ruling

Yes. The intent of the credit is met if an independent consultant is hired by the architect/designer as the commissioning authority. For further clarification, refer to the previous credit inquiry ruling (9999-EAc30-102601). Applicable Internationally.
