The roles and responsibilities in the EDGE certification process are clearly defined to ensure a streamlined audit process. The EDGE Certification Protocol explicitly assigns the responsibility for providing documentation to support green building measures: "The EDGE Client is responsible for providing a full set of documentation to support each green building measure selected in the project assessment. This includes drawings, specifications, manufacturer’s data sheets, and any other evidence required by the Auditor to verify compliance with the EDGE standard during both the design and post-construction stages" (EDGE Certification Protocol, Section 3.1: Certification Process). Option A, the Client, directly aligns with this requirement, as the Client (typically the project owner or developer) is the primary party submitting the project for certification and must provide all necessary evidence. Option B (the Facility Manager) is incorrect because the Facility Manager’s role is operational, not related to certification documentation: "Facility Managers may assist with operational data for EDGE Zero Carbon certification but are not responsible for providing design or construction documentation" (EDGE Certification Protocol, Section 2.3: Certification Levels). Option C (the Building Inspector) is also incorrect, as this role is external to the EDGE process and not involved in certification: "Building Inspectors ensure compliance with local codes, not EDGE requirements" (EDGE User Guide, Glossary). Option D (the project design team) may prepare documentation, but the responsibility lies with the Client to submit it: "While the design team often prepares technical documents, it is the Client’s responsibility to compile and provide them to the Auditor as part of the certification process" (EDGE Expert and Auditor Protocols, Section 2.1: Roles of EDGE Client). The EDGE User Guide further reinforces this by stating: "The Client must ensure all supporting documentation is complete and accessible to the Auditor to avoid delays in the certification process" (EDGE User Guide, Section 6.2: Documentation Requirements). Therefore, the Client (Option A) is responsible for providing the full set of documentation for the audit.
