What is the prerequisite for the Enhanced Commissioning credit?

The prerequisite for the Enhanced Commissioning credit is that the basic Commissioning credit must be achieved first. This requirement ensures that a foundational level of commissioning has been established for the building systems. Basic commissioning involves verifying that the building's systems are designed, installed, and function according to the owner's project requirements.

By fulfilling this prerequisite, the project sets the stage for enhanced commissioning processes, which go beyond basic commissioning. Enhanced commissioning includes a more comprehensive review of processes, systems, and performance monitoring, contributing to better energy efficiency and performance outcomes. This structured approach helps to ensure that the prerequisite elements are in place before a project can pursue the more stringent and detailed practices associated with enhanced commissioning.
