Chemistry Building Commissioning

Hallam-ICS LEED Accredited Professionals are knowledgeable in the Energy and Atmosphere (EA) Prerequisite Commissioning, Enhanced Commissioning and Measurement & Verification requirements. Having commissioned a number of sustainable buildings we bring our familiarity with current Good Design, Construction, Commissioning and Operating Practices to a project.

Challenge

With a rapidly growing Chemistry Department, the University of Rhode Island (URI) required a new state-of-the-art, 134,623-square-foot Chemistry Building to support over 6,000 students annually and meet LEED Silver sustainability goals. The project also included housing for the Department of Homeland Security’s Center of Excellence in Explosives Detection, Mitigation, and Response.

Solution

Hallam-ICS was selected as the commissioning agent, providing LEED Fundamental and Enhanced Commissioning (EAp1 and EAc3). We collaborated with the design team and subcontractors, conducting comprehensive design reviews at 50% and 100% completion to ensure quality standards.

Results

Our team accomplished the following:

  • Contributed to meeting URI’s LEED Silver sustainability objectives.
  • Enhanced facility performance with rigorous testing and collaborative commissioning.
  • Supported the Chemistry Department's needs for advanced labs and classrooms aligned with growth.
