The commissioning agent's role is to ensure that the Owner's Project Requirements (OPR) are met; however, the commissioning agent (CxA) is frequently hired by the Contractor. The Owner’s goal is a high-performance building; the Contractor's goal is maintaining budget. Does this relationship pit the commissioning agent against the owner? This debate covers the benefits of commissioning from an Owner's perspective and a Contractor's perspective. Does the Owner get a high-performance building when the commissioning agent is hired by the Contractor or does an Owner-hired CxA guarantee better results? An Owner and Contractor debate lessons learned from commissioning smart building controls.
