Inquiry

We are requesting a CIR for a commercial tenant build out in an existing space. The owner decided to go forward with LEED certification after original design drawings were in place. An independent Cx Authority was brought on board after construction documents were issued but before construction commenced, and was in contact with all necessary trades. A commissioning plan was generated prior to commissioning activities. The CxA worked with the project team throughout the construction process and generated a full Cx report. This project utilized existing mechanical equipment which serves the existing spaces. All information regarding this is outlined in the BOD. The Commissioning Agent reviewed all documents and incorporated these guidelines in their plan and final report. The built systems have had a thorough and unbiased review not just of how they were built, but of how they were designed. All prerequisite requirements have been met with the exception of the specifications being included in the original contract documents. All trades cooperated and worked with the Cx. Keeping with the intent of this prerequisite, all systems were adequately commissioned. The CxA has verified that the project\'s energy-related systems are installed, calibrated, and perform as intended, and has verified that all of the required systems are calibrated correctly and satisfy the owner\'s project requirements (OPR) and BOD.
