CxA as employee of Owner

I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience uploading the contract betweeen Owner and CxAThe commissioning authority (CxA) is the individual designated to organize, lead, and review the completion of commissioning process activities. The CxA facilitates communication among the owner, designer, and contractor to ensure that complex systems are installed and function in accordance with the owner's project requirements. when the CxA is the employee of the Owner. If the CxA is to be a qualified employee of the Owner, should the "contract" uploaded simply be a letter stating that said employee will act as the CxA during the design and construction of the project?

Thanks.

Yes, this should work. I would also note the CxAThe commissioning authority (CxA) is the individual designated to organize, lead, and review the completion of commissioning process activities. The CxA facilitates communication among the owner, designer, and contractor to ensure that complex systems are installed and function in accordance with the owner's project requirements.'s prior experience, per the credit requirement.

Designating a CxA

Does the CxAThe commissioning authority (CxA) is the individual designated to organize, lead, and review the completion of commissioning process activities. The CxA facilitates communication among the owner, designer, and contractor to ensure that complex systems are installed and function in accordance with the owner's project requirements. have to be designated before 50% CDs in LEED for Schools 2.2 also?

Elizabeth, for the prerequisite EAp1 the CxAThe commissioning authority (CxA) is the individual designated to organize, lead, and review the completion of commissioning process activities. The CxA facilitates communication among the owner, designer, and contractor to ensure that complex systems are installed and function in accordance with the owner's project requirements. does not have to be desingated before 50% CDs in either case. Perhaps you are thinking of EAc3? I assume both credits are basically the same in LEED for Schools v2 but you could check the credit requirements.
