LEEDv5 shifts commissioning from a checklist to a continuous performance strategy.  With envelope verification, monitoring-based commissioning and decarbonization goals at its core, v5 changes how teams plan, deliver, and measure performance.

EEI Building Performance helps project teams align early with these new requirements, from design through post-occupancy monitoring.

Key points:

• Building Envelope Commissioning (BECx) is now embedded in the fundamental commissioning prerequisite scope.
• Monitoring-Based Commissioning (MBCx) is formalized as a credit pathway, requiring a minimum of three-year engagement.
• Separate commissioning providers are now allowed for fundamental, envelope, and enhanced scopes.
• Early involvement of designated Cx provider(s) (CxP) during design is now essential.  CxP is required to be engaged in Pre-Design if pursuing EAc5: Enhanced Commissioning.
• Commissioning requirements also require alignment with the ASHRAE 90.1 standard used on the project.
