The Building Commissioning Certification Board (BCCB) has granted Stephen Turner Inc. the official designation of a Certified Commissioning Firm (CCF)!

Ten years of hard work, dedication, and communication between Stephen Turner Inc. team members and our clients, has led to this proud moment. We appreciate the recognition as a Designee from both the Building Commissioning Association (BCxA) and the BCCB, and are looking forward to the increased commissioning opportunities that this esteemed designation will bring.

What are some possible ways to protect your building’s occupants from the spread of contaminants? In this presentation delivered to the Connecticut Green Bank’s Multifamily Peer-to-Peer Network, Stephen Turner outlines three principles for improving indoor air quality with HVAC systems. Depending on the results of research into the novel coronavirus, understanding these principles may help you prepare your building for post-pandemic life.

The project consisted of renovating the existing building and the new construction of an addition at 280 Brook Street. This mixed-use facility is 31,000 square feet. The existing wood framed structure was renovated into a three-story plus mezzanine building and a steel framed, curtain-walled, three-story plus penthouse addition, housing offices, meeting spaces, a large classroom, cafe, and a three-story multi-function atrium space.

The expansion project was designed and constructed to meet the University’s requirements that the project reduces energy use by at least 25% (31% realized) compared to current energy codes. The project will comply with the requirements of LEED v4 BD+C New Construction and Major Renovation and is currently pursuing LEED-NC Silver certification.
