Which term describes a formal and ongoing record of problems or concerns—and their resolutions—that have been raised during the commissioning process?

• A. The monitoring plan
• B. M&V plan
• C. The issues log (correct)
• D. The fenestration record

Answer: (C)

Teams use a formal and ongoing record of problems and their resolutions called an issues log. This log captures every issue identified during the commissioning process, who is responsible for addressing it, its priority, dates raised and closed, actions taken, and verification of the resolution. Keeping this centralized, up-to-date record ensures nothing slips through the cracks and provides a clear trail showing that issues were addressed before occupancy.

The other terms describe different kinds of plans or records that don’t focus on tracking problems and resolutions. A monitoring plan outlines how performance will be tracked, a M&V plan explains how energy savings will be measured and verified, and a fenestration record documents details about windows.
