A Photovoltaic (PV) system was installed on a 35,000 ft2 (3 252 m2) project. What actions need to take place in order to meet compliance for Energy…

The correct answer is C, the Cx agent for the project must conduct or oversee the Cx of the PV

system. According to the LEED v4 Reference Guide for Building Design and Construction, the Energy

and Atmosphere Prerequisite, Fundamental Commissioning and Verification, requires that all energy-

related systems, including renewable energy systems such as PV, be commissioned by an

independent commissioning agent (CxA) or a qualified member of the project team who reports to

the owner. The CxA or the qualified team member must perform or oversee all commissioning

activities, including developing a commissioning plan, reviewing design documents and submittals,

verifying installation and performance, and preparing a commissioning report12 Reference: 1: LEED
