The Commissioning Authority (CxA) must report results, findings and recommendations directly to the

The Commissioning Authority (CxA) plays a crucial role in ensuring that a building's systems are

designed, installed, and calibrated to operate as intended. For the commissioning process to be

effective and maintain its integrity, the CxA must have direct communication with the project's

owner. Reporting results, findings, and recommendations directly to the owner ensures that the

highest level of accountability is maintained, and it enables the owner to make informed decisions

based on the commissioning outcomes. This direct line of communication is essential for addressing

any issues that may arise and for implementing recommendations that may impact the project's

performance, budget, or schedule.
