Examples of acceptable CxP engagement after pre-design
⚫ Portfolio applications where the OPR and Cx Plan at the predesign phase are like other projects.
⚫ A qualified employee of the owner provides the initial review of the OPR and initial draft of the Cx Plan and CxP is designated early in design development to continue the analysis.
Commissioning Scope
The enhanced MEP commissioning scope must comprehensively address alignment with the OPR, expanding the focus beyond energy and GHG emissions to address water efficiency, air quality, and thermal comfort. Commissioned systems must include the following if in the project scope:
-
Mechanical (HVAC and refrigeration, including any process heating or cooling systems in the project).
-
Electrical (lighting, receptacle power).
-
Plumbing (indoor fixtures, service water heating, pool equipment, etc.).
-
Data center (electrical, cooling, humidity; identify a mechanism for evaluating whether server equipment efficiency targets are met).
-
Building monitoring. Include all monitoring systems required by ASHRAE 90.1, as well as any Energy Information System and Fault Detection and Diagnostic (FDD) systems referenced in Option 2.
-
On-site renewable systems, including all Tier1 systems credited in EAc4: Renewable Energy .
-
Controls. Include systems credited in EAc6: Grid Interactive.
Additional LEED Tasks
LEED appends additional required tasks to those referenced in ASHRAE 202-2024 :
MINIMUM OF TWO DESIGN PHASE MEETINGS Early CxP involvement in design phase meetings aids complete integration of commissioning requirements and recommendations from the CxP into the final construction documents. Using these early interactions also leads to collaborative discussions and collectively addressing the CxP’s design review comments.
