Following the installation of an ERV, odor and cooling complaints disappear at CoxHealth's Turner Center.
A multi-function health services facility in Springfield, MO is a showcase for sophisticated air quality management. The Turner Center is a unit of the CoxHealth system and is part of the Cox South health care campus in south Springfield. Building functions include urgent care, pediatric and adult outpatient services, a pharmacy, and numerous medical provider offices. The building was completed in the early 1980s. Due to the need for additional space and the building’s changing functions, improvements in the building’s mechanical plant were needed and these improvements resulted in a building mechanical system that is not only effective, but ultimately much more efficient.
