Charles Turner's Bio
Charles Turner P.E. is an accomplished teacher and lecturer.
He holds a BS degree in Engineering and his private practice is
in the disciplines of mechanical and electrical engineering. His
background includes the position of Chief Mechanical Engineer at
firms in Boston, MA, Rochester, NY and Buffalo, NY. Mr. Turner
is a licensed Professional Engineer in the States of
Massachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania.
Mr. Turner designed the mechanicals for 24 Wegman’s Stores, a
large upscale supermarket, including the piping design for
medium & low temperature cases. The layout included 200 tons of
refrigeration, and 150 tons of A/C. He also provided the kitchen
design for exhaust hoods and make up air with refrigerant
condenser economizers. Previously he was owner/operator of a
design build mechanical contracting company.
He realizes the confusion many engineers have between the State
Mechanical Codes and the NFPA Mechanical Codes. It is his
expertise in deciphering the NFPA mechanical codes and the
frustration of his colleagues about which codes apply - that led
to the development of this Engineering Code Institute. It has
been met with enthusiasm by Mechanical Engineers from numerous
industries.
He is published in Engineering News Record, Engineered Systems,
Food Marketing Institute, and a series of articles in the
Buffalo Newspaper for Home Inspectors.
He brings to the classroom his unusual and outstanding ability
to bring “life” to otherwise dry code material, including how
all the Mechanical codes work together. He is an Assistant
Professor at Erie Community College, and teaches NFPA-70E, Arc
Flash/Arc Blast at Ford and Mattel Steel. In mechanical codes,
Mr. Turner’s teaching expertise is founded in his desire that
you leave his course understanding what you came to learn -
Where are all the mechanical codes?
