Which of the following is a typical member of the HVAC Commissioning Team from construction phase through project end?

• A. owner
• B. lender
• C. facility manager
• D. janitor

Answer: (A)

The essential point is who represents the project’s goals and decisions throughout the commissioning process. The owner, or the owner’s designated representative, stays engaged from planning and design through construction, commissioning, and turnover, ensuring that HVAC tests and performance outcomes meet the owner’s requirements and that any issues are resolved before occupancy. This continuity is why the owner is the typical member of the commissioning team across the entire timeline. The lender is focused on financing and loan conditions rather than technical testing. A facility manager might be involved around turnover to plan operations, but they are not a standard, ongoing member of the commissioning team during construction and commissioning. A janitor has no role in the commissioning process.
