Who makes up the Commissioning team?

• A. The Owner’s Project Manager
• B. The Individuals Who, Through Coordinated Actions, Are Responsible for Implementing the Commissioning Process
• C. The On-Site Tradespeople Only
• D. The Maintenance Staff After Occupancy

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that commissioning is a collaborative, cross-functional effort. The team consists of the people who, through coordinated actions, are responsible for carrying out and implementing the entire commissioning process—from planning and design through construction and into occupancy and operations. This broad collaboration ensures that the building’s systems meet the owner’s requirements and perform as intended, with clear accountability across roles such as owner representatives, the design and construction teams, the commissioning authority, and facility staff.

That’s why this option fits best: it defines the team as the individuals who, by working together, implement the commissioning activities. It’s not limited to one role or to people who only perform the work after occupancy, nor to tradespeople alone, since those elements are part of the process but don’t alone define who makes up the commissioning team.
