What is a Commissioning Authority?
The Commissioning Authority is the firm (or the individual within the firm) hired to provide building commissioning services. The Commissioning Authority is responsible for overseeing and executing the entire commissioning process. The Commissioning Authority should be an independent third party, knowledgeable in the design, construction and operation of engineered systems. A qualified Commissioning Authority will provide added value to the project by applying systems expertise, experience and common sense to resolve system problems.
