Is the Owner only qualified to designate a CXA?What if the contractor or subcontractor already hire CXA to do the commissionfor the project will that disqualify the proj.from achieving EA Pre1 Fundamental Commissioning and EA cr 3 Enhanced Commissioning?If that's the case,what is the remedy to correct and be qualified for the LEED credit/prerequiste? Pls.help comment...

My suggestion is introduce the owner to the commissioning contractor and see if they can work out a direct contract. Many owners don't know anything about commissioning and end up getting some type of help from either the contractors involved or architect on the project. The key is the contract itself has to be with the owner so that the CxA can be an independant advocate for the owner.
