Independent Commissioning Agent
ICA
An ICA is a service that is requested when a building is following the GreenStar rating system as defined by the New Zealand Green Building Council (NZGBC).
Within the submissions template for GreenStar Section 2 provides areas where up to four points can be earned that a commissioning manager can assist with:
- Item 2.2 Services and Maintainability Review
- Item 2.3 Building Commissioning
- Item 2.4 Building Systems Tuning
- Item 2.5 Independent Commissioning Agent (ICA)
Mark Crawford has provided ICA services on many GreenStar rated buildings since 2010, in New Zealand.
This includes the first GreenStar 5-star building – The Meridian Building in Wellington.
Note that one of the requirements for an ICA is to follow the guidelines set out in CIBSE Commissioning Code M (Commissioning Management).
Code M states that commissioning managers must be grade 6 members of the Commissioning Specialist Association (CSA).
Mark Crawford is a grade 6 member and fellow of the CSA, one of only three believed to be in New Zealand.
