I thought the ESC plan had to be set in stone before design phase.

A compliant ESC plan should be ready before commissioning, right?

Wait, can you really develop it during construction? Sounds risky.

D seems important since I think the ESC plan needs to be ready before commissioning starts, but I’m not entirely confident.

I recall a practice question where it mentioned that an ESC plan could be developed during construction, which makes me lean towards C.

Option B sounds right to me. The question specifically mentions the design phase, so I believe the ESC plan can be developed or modified during that time.

I'm leaning towards option D - that a compliant ESC plan must be in place when the commissioning authority is appointed. That seems to align with the idea of having the plan in place early in the process.

The key here is that the question is asking about ESC plan compliance, not just the development of the plan. I think option C, that a compliant plan may be developed during construction, is the best answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I'll need to review the LEED requirements more closely to determine if the ESC plan can be modified during the design phase or if it needs to be in place earlier.

Trying to modify the ESC plan during LEED certification? That's like trying to change the tires on a moving car!

D is the correct answer. A compliant ESC plan must be in place before the commissioning authority is appointed to ensure proper site management from the start.
