What is the second phase of Comprehensive Commissioning as listed?

• A. The owner selects the commissioning authority
• B. Commissioning established as integral part of project
• C. Develop the scope of commissioning
• D. Commissioning authority reviews design intent document

Answer: (A)

In Comprehensive Commissioning, the step right after recognizing that commissioning is an integral part of the project is selecting the commissioning authority. This is the moment you formalize who will lead and coordinate the commissioning activities, ensuring they have the authority, qualifications, and alignment with the owner’s goals to drive the process from design through occupancy. Once the owner chooses the commissioning authority, the next steps—developing the scope of commissioning and the authority reviewing the design intent document—can be organized around the appointed CxA. Establishing commissioning first frames accountability and enables a clear path for defining responsibilities and integrating the CxA’s work with design and construction.
