Stok is the LEED and WELL consultant, supporting the university in achieving LEED NC Group v4 Silver and WELL Gold certification. Among many strategies targeting improved energy performance across the buildings is an innovative heating and cooling system. The campus has invested in a 700-well district geo-exchange heating and cooling system to bring total campus energy use to 48% better than baseline, setting this campus well ahead of its peers across the nation.
As commissioning authority, Stok is ensuring the four new university buildings comply with International Building, Mechanical, Electrical, Fuel, Gas, and Fire Codes, as well as National Electrical Code, Uniform Plumbing Code, Energy Conservation Code, and LEED and local building code requirements for commissioning.
