ORNL Lessons Learned
 2 Projects required CX in accordance with
PECI but AE to hold contract
 CX was brought in late in design phase on
both projects. AE trying to manage costs..
 After one CX meeting - cancelled CX contract
and are soliciting for another. Changing to
Company held contract.
 Mostly EITs
 Past performance as LEED consultant poor
 Second project CX deliverables were excellent.

ORNL Lessons Learned Summary




No local area commissioning agents
RFP for CX must be clear & concise
CX contract should be with M&O
CX should be brought on board at
project’s design kick off.
 Funding to support for duration of project.
