Commercial and Institutional
This sector includes shopping malls and retail outlets, office buildings, schools and universities, stadiums, arenas and indoor swimming pools, prisons and more. It includes both new construction as well as renovation and rehabilitation work. It can also incorporate on-site assembly of modular or prefabricated commercial and institutional buildings. Larger facilities, such as airports, also fall under this sector of work. UA members in the commercial and institutional sector need solid skills in pipefitting, fire protection, plumbing, sustainable technologies and heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR).
The UA has been developing green initiatives for several years, ranging from our mechanical equipment, service and maintenance programs that include refrigerant replacement and HVACR, to the latest in plumbing, solar, geothermal and even residential construction.
