Which option should I choose?
Both course options are suitable for everyone; they cover the same material, but with a different focus.
- Option 1 is a great choice for anyone new to the ASHRAE Commissioning Process (CxP), and it covers more about the purpose of commissioning, why the CxP starts in pre-design, the CxP tasks, and the costs/benefits. This course is aimed toward building owners and commissioning authorities (CxAs), and is great choice for anyone wanting extra focus on any of the elective topics.
- Option 2 doesn’t spend as much time on the purpose or benefits – instead it spends more time on how to do each CxP task, with daily workshops and more interactive sessions (such as writing checklists, performing some test procedures, etc.) This course was written by the Building Commissioning Association to train CxAs, although it is often attended by other team members who want to learn the CxA’s role.
Additional certifications are available once you have earned the QCxP and are awarded based on completed projects.
