The owner is committed to commissioning this facility, to systematically optimizing the building and its ancillary systems, and to meeting the requirements of LEED-v4.1EA P1 Fundamental Commissioning and EA C3 Option 1. Path 2 Enhanced and Monitoring-Based Commissioning Path and Option 2 & Building Enclosure Commissioning Option). The commissioning agent is to develop, upload and defend LEED documentation. The Commissioning Agent (CxA) will provide the signed letter template and suitable documents for the required credits before termination of contract which will extend until the LEED Certification is completed with the USGBC, which will not occur until several months after building occupancy. The commissioning agent will coordinate with the electrical engineer and energy modeler to develop an appropriate design for the LEED Advanced Metering credit. The CxA will be hired by the owner and report directly to the owner. The CxA shall be independent to the project and may not be an employee of the owner, design consultants, or interested contractor. The CxA will be required to coordinate with the Owner, Architect/Engineer, Construction Manager, and other consultants as needed. The project is required to achieve LEED Gold Certification at a minimum; However, the project has a goal of LEED platinum and being net zero ready. Commissioning services consist of systematically documenting that the specified components and systems have been installed and initiated properly, and of functional testing to verify and document proper operation. The CxA shall coordinate with the architect, engineer, contractor and owner on scheduling, and integrate activities into the overall project schedule for commissioning scope as per LEED reference guide. Systems to be commissioned, as applicable: The project has not completed design phase, so the final building systems are not known at this time. However, the general system categories to be commissioned are known. The following systems, including all components and controls, are to be commissioned: 1. Heating system equipment and distribution including geothermal wells. 2. Cooling system equipment and distribution including geothermal wells. 3. Air-handling equipment, terminal equipment, air distribution system, and air devices. 4. Ventilation and exhaust systems. 5. HVAC controls. 6. Lighting and daylighting controls. 7. Occupancy controls. 8. Electrical sub-metering systems.
