Determine what building enclosure commissioning work is required to satisfy LEED's commissioning prerequisite and optional enhanced credit

Steps

1. For the Fundamental Commissioning prerequisite, confirm enclosure-specific requirements are limited to inclusion of enclosure OPR/BOD content and review of the enclosure OPR, BOD, and project design — NIBS Guideline 3-2012 is cited as supplemental guidance for this scope
2. For Enhanced Commissioning, confirm there are two credit options: an Enhanced Systems Commissioning option and a separate Building Enclosure Commissioning option (point values vary by rating system version — verify current point allocation on usgbc.org for the specific rating system in use)
3. Under the Building Enclosure Commissioning option, confirm the team must first satisfy Fundamental Commissioning requirements as they relate to the thermal envelope, then complete additional enclosure-specific Cx tasks in accordance with ASHRAE Guideline 0 and ASTM E2947
4. Scope the additional required tasks: verifying operator/occupant training content and delivery for the enclosure, verifying systems manual delivery, verifying seasonal (deferred) testing, conducting a building-operations review roughly ten months after substantial completion, and developing an ongoing enclosure Cx plan for maintenance/renewal cycles
5. Confirm which LEED rating system version (e.g., BD+C v4 vs. v4.1) governs the project, since credit structure and referenced standard editions can differ between versions — verify directly on usgbc.org/LEEDuser rather than assuming
6. Coordinate the LEED-required scope with the broader BECx program so enclosure Cx work satisfies both LEED credit language and the project's ASTM E2813/E2947-based Cx plan without duplicated effort
