The BCA announced the decision at the end of September as part of a sweeping new plan for a multi-tiered residency program, called “Studio 551,” that will begin in July.

After four years of working on developing its commissioning certification program, the Building Commissioning Association (BCA) gave an update on its progress on April 12.
