The Commissioning Authority (CxA) plays a crucial role in ensuring that a building's systems are designed, installed, and calibrated to operate as intended. For the commissioning process to be effective and maintain its integrity, the CxA must have direct communication with the project's owner. Reporting results, findings, and recommendations directly to theowner ensures that the highest level of accountability is maintained, and it enables the owner to make informed decisions based on the commissioning outcomes. This direct line of communication is essential for addressing any issues that may arise and for implementing recommendations that may impact the project's performance, budget, or schedule.References:
