In LEED EA Credit 3 Enhanced Commissioning, which verification is included regarding occupant training?

• A. Must review the O&Ms and provide occupant training verification
• B. Must review submittals
• C. Must create the systems manual
• D. Must perform the 10th month review of building operation

Answer: (A)

Enhanced Commissioning checks that the people who operate and use the building are trained to run the systems as intended, and that the documentation supports that training. A key verification is to review the Operations and Maintenance manuals and confirm that occupant training has been provided and documented. This pairing ensures that the actual building operation matches the design expectations and that there is a clear record showing occupants know how to use and troubleshoot the major systems, which helps sustain energy performance over time.

Submittals review, while part of the broader commissioning process, doesn’t specifically prove that occupants were trained. Creating the systems manual is important, but the requirement focuses on the verification of the training itself. A 10th month review of building operation relates to post-occupancy performance checks, not specifically to occupant training verification within Enhanced Commissioning.
