LEED BD+C: New Construction

Rating System Version

v2 - LEED 2.2

Inquiry

The project in question is a warehouse/retail outlet for a chain of construction supply stores. The owner has a contract in place with an authority independent of the design team to perform the following tasks: 1. Review of the design prior to the construction document phase. 2. Review of documents near completion of the construction document development and prior to the issue of contracts documents for construction. 3. Review contractor submittals relative to systems being commissioned. 4. Provision of single manual to owner for the future re-commissioning of building systems. 5. Review building operations with Maintenance Department, complete with outline for resolution of outstanding items within one year of construction completion. Independent authority contact information has been listed in design specification. Independent authority engineer has been retained by owner to stamp control drawings for local building permit. (Owner retained engineer since building system drawings had been reviewed by independent authority and design team did not have certified automation engineer on staff). Does this meet the intent of the Additional Commissioning LEEDTM credit?
