Congratulations to the 2010 Benner Award Winner, Carl Lundstrom, PE, CCP!
Carl has spent more than 25 years in the buildings industry and is currently a Senior Vice President at EMC Engineers, Inc., a national provider of commissioning services. He has contributed immensely to the development and growth of the commissioning industry throughout his career. His accomplishments include authoring the commissioning guideline for the State of Georgia, which was later adopted into law. In addition, Carl was instrumental in supplying best practices to a North Carolina Senate sub-committee which resulted in the state’s adoption of commissioning for all state funded buildings greater than 20,000 sq. ft.
A teacher at heart, Carl feels education and training is paramount to the success of the commissioning industry and he speaks regularly for the BCA/University of Wisconsin Commissioning Course as well as acts as Chair of the BCA professional development committee. He has also taught numerous commissioning classes and seminars for the BCA, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and other groups.
Perhaps those who nominated Carl sum it up best by stating that “…Carl has never failed to lend his time or talents to any organization or individual when it comes to furthering excellence in commissioning. He has volunteered countless hours to speaking, teaching, research, and other activities in an effort to raise the level of excellence across the spectrum of commissioning providers and with building owners. Carl prefers to remain ‘behind the scenes’ when it comes to recognition, but anyone who has been involved with commissioning in a serious way will know Carl and his level of commitment.”
