Who is responsible for Construction Phase Facilitate O&M Training?

• A. Shared
• B. CxT
• C. Contractor
• D. CxA

Answer: (B)

The Commissioning Technician (CxT) is the one who coordinates and leads O&M training during construction. This role sits within the commissioning team and is responsible for planning, organizing, and delivering training to the owner’s operations staff in a way that mirrors how the building was tested and verified during commissioning. The CxT ensures training content aligns with design intent and the actual sequences of operation that were validated, uses the commissioning plan and test procedures as a backbone, and documents training outcomes so that staff can operate the building confidently from day one. They also work with the contractor to schedule sessions, gather manuals and materials, and address any gaps before occupancy.

This fits because training is part of the commissioning learning transfer to the owner, and the CxT is the dedicated facilitator who ensures consistency with the tested systems and documented requirements. The contractor is primarily responsible for installing and may provide some training, but the formal, structured O&M training tied to the commissioning process is led by the CxT. The CxA oversees the overall commissioning process but does not typically perform the hands-on training facilitation.
