Lunch & Learn: August 22Identification & Evaluation of Energy, Maintenance, and Operational Savings Opportunities

Presented by Gary Shamshoian, P.E., LEED AP As operations and maintenance pro-fessionals, many of us know of inef-ficiencies in our building or facility.

Given the new techniques for en-ergy efficiency and environmentally friendly building systems, there are better and more efficient ways to design and operate chillers, pumps, AHUs, and AC fans, to name a few.

To solve the problem and improve the efficiency in your building, Gary Shamshoian, PE, LEED AP, will walk us through several case studies and some techniques for financial analysis that can be used to create a “business case” to convince upper management of the savings and re-turn on investment.

He will present the formulas to help you make a case to improve the ef-ficiency of your building, and he will present real examples of opportuni-

From the President’s Desk

Technology Tools for the Built Environment By Raffy Espiritu FMP, President, AFE Silicon Valley

During the past several months, I have interacted with many stakeholders in the built envi-ronment and one thing that is emerging so clearly is the value that owners and their designat-ed representatives assign to the need for effective technology tools to support the way a facil-ity is managed.

General contractors, architects, commissioning agents and the various sub-contractors dur-ing the design and construction phase are deep into using BIM (Building Information Modeling) as this technology has proven to be superior application not only in the design of the building but as a foundation for transition-ing to the operations and main-tenance phase of the life cycle of the facility. It is interesting to watch how prominent gen-eral contractors are developing

their information packages that they can show to the owners as a plan to warranty their product after construction. It is not un-common for owners to demand a warranty period of five years, especially for major projects.

The increasing complexity of the built environment has cre-ated pressure not only on gen-eral contractors and architects, but also on the owner’s desig-nated representatives to better manage the facility under their stewardship.

The days for “hit and miss” handling of facility information is over. It behooves the facility manager and building engineer to be prepared with quick and ready answers as to what assets are in the facility, what mechani-cal, electrical, fire alarm and sup-pression systems are in place,

what preventative maintenance program has been established, and whether there is a func-tional work order management system that supports the facility program. Failure to do so can spell disaster for building own-ers as they are exposing them-selves to a higher level of risk, which can result in significant loss of their precious assets.

It is against this increasing de-mand for accountability in facil-ity management, that software manufacturers are racing to de-velop various tools that can sup-port the owners and their rep-resentatives to collect pertinent data that includes, among oth-ers: asset management, preven-tative maintenance, space plan-ning, energy management, work order management, and more.

Reinhard’s Code Corner #98

Summer VacationWelcome to the peak of summer and its unpredictable weather. We finally have new codes to study. Yes that is correct, the final edited and approved 2013 California Codes are out.

The California Building Code had a few changes with regard to sprinkler coverage and separations. The Mechanical Code has modified its reference to standards. The Plumbing Code now allows a variety of plastic pipes. However the California Fire Code has format changes and substantive revisions.

Regulators and code users will have to spend substantial time becoming familiar with the new Fire Code. As I have stated in previous articles – all cities and Jurisdictions are NOW prepar-ing local amendments to the new Codes. Get involved, and give your input to the local adoption.

This month we have a few good code questions. Remember only a few questions are published, but I respond to all ques-tions sent to Reinhard.Hanselka@crbusa.com.

Question #1: Our business is semiconductor related and we have a substantial inventory of equipment/tools. We were recently told that the local Fire Department wants to have a detailed review of all of our tools whenever we make changes. This could slow us down. Is this correct?Your local jurisdiction is correct. For any tool or device that uses or stores hazardous materials, it is the responsibility of the Fire Department per the requirements of the Hazardous Mate-rials Chapter of the California Fire Code, Chapter 27 (2010) or Chapter 50 (2013). If the tool does not utilize hazardous mate-rials, there is no authority for the local Fire Department to per-mit or even review the tool. A chemical inventory must be sub-mitted with each permitted tool. I strongly recommend that you schedule a meeting with your local Fire Marshal to clearly define the review and inspection criteria, including review time lines.

Question #2: We are currently designing a life science facility that will use large quantities of flammable and combustible materials. Our consultant told us that it is essential that we keep all of our de-livery and handling pressures below 15 PSIG, because that is all that the city will approve. Why is this?

You have a wise consultant on this issue. By keeping all pres-sures below 15 PSIG you can legally keep the occupancy as an H-3. If that pressure is exceeded you will need to go to an H -2, with all of the extra baggage and safeguards. I do offer you cau-tion; if you exceed that pressure in any way you may jeopardize your Occupancy. Be careful of your column preparation, those pressures often exceed the H-3 limit of 15 PSIG.

If you have a question on the code, send it to:

Graduate Certificate Program in Facilities Maintenance & OperationsYou may recall reading about a new graduate certificate pro-gram in the planning stages at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in this newsletter in January 2012. Af-ter years of planning, Bob Dills, past president of AFE Silicon Valley and of IFMA Silicon Valley and Barbara Jackson, PhD, DBIA, Professor, Construction Man-agement at Cal Poly State Uni-versity are proud to announce that the certificate program has been scheduled for the coming fall term.

According to an email written by Dr. Jackson, “the first Facili-ties Management & Operations (FMO) graduate certificate course is scheduled and the reg-istration process is open on the Cal Poly Extended education website. All six courses are scheduled to be delivered this next academic year – one in fall, two in winter, two in spring, and the final one in summer 2014 to complete the first enrollment and delivery cycle. If demand is present we will deliver the first course again in winter or spring to launch a second cohort. FI-NALLY - it is happening!”

She went on to say that she planned to use the recent GROW Block Party in July “to launch a dedicated and strate-gic recruiting effort to attract a more diverse population to a Cal Poly CM/FMO education. We would like to discuss how Cal Poly and this GROW group, IFMA, and AFE could strategi-cally partner to support Silicon Valley students in their efforts and opportunities to achieve a quality college education. This could be as incoming freshmen or transfer students from San Jose area community colleges.”

Raffy Espiritu, AFE-SV Chapter President said, “This is welcome news! We at AFE need to pro-mote this program to our mem-bership and to our colleagues at IFMA and BOMA.

Bob Dills explained that the courses have been scheduled on Fridays and Saturdays to al-low working adults to partici-pate. Although the first session

CM 511 Facility Risk Analysis and Project ManagementCM 512 Facility Maintenance and Operation StrategiesCM 513 Facility Systems Assessment and IntegrationCM 514 Sustainable Facility Management

CM 515 Environmental Health and Safety Management for Facilities

beginning in September will be on-campus in San Luis Obispo, future sessions will be a hybrid of online and on-campus and eventually online.

Bob also explained that profes-sionals who have earned Bache-lors degrees, once accepted into the program, will receive a grad-uate certificate upon successful completion of the program.

However, professionals who do not have degrees are also welcome to enroll in individual courses. They will receive uni-versity credit upon successful completion of each course.

“The benefit for all is that this program will fill in the gaps in their experience,” said Bob. For example it covers finance for fa-cility professionals, a topic that some facilities professionals may not have mastered. For those without a degree, successful completion of this course will add another level of credibility to their resume. For additional information visit the Cal Poly website at: http://www.catalog.calpoly.edu/

1 IFMA’s Certified Facility Manager (CFM®) credential may substitute for CM 510 Principles of Integrated Facility Management. Individuals possessing this credential are only required to complete 5 courses.

“The new FMO graduate

certificate will complete

the “eco system” within the

design disciplines within Cal

Poly’s Construction Manage-

ment department. It includes

technical subjects such as

HVAC, Roofing, Site Devel-

opment, Controls, Environ-

mental and Energy, Project

Management and Financial

Analysis,”

said Bob Dills.

Grow Block Party a Big SuccessOn July 24, more than 115 fa-cility professionals came out to support GROW’s first fund-raiser, held at Goodwill Silicon Valley.

The new 501C3 group is dedi-cated to meeting the challenge of supporting a new generation of facility engineers, building managers, operations person-nel, HVAC contractors, electri-cal engineers, janitorial staff and others who make up the facili-ties profession. Although cost and revenue numbers are not complete, GROW co-founder Bob Dills said he considered the event a big success.

Bob said, “the strongest thing that struck Julie O’Loughlin,

Caasi Bonura, Scott Schipper and me, is how easy the associ-ations like IFMA and AFE make things look. And they do it mul-tiple times a month. Personally it amazes me how many fine details are involved in pulling off an event like the Block Par-ty. There is no way in the world it could have happen anywhere close to the way it did without all of our dedicated volunteers.

The event was hosted by Good-will of Silicon Valley. Michael Fox and Robert Shuck volun-teered their parking lot, which was a great venue that accom-modated a live band, three food trucks, games, photo booth and prize raffles. (See below.)

GROW’s First ProjectDuring the launch party the first major GROW initiative was announced. Bob Kraiss, who recent-ly retired as Senior Director of Corporate Real Estate and Facilities for Adaptec, announced that GROW is the sponsoring organization aimed at creating a children’s performing arts theater in East Palo Alto. The plan is to use an existing stage in the gym at the Costano School and use the resources of IFMA-SV and AFE to install material donated by Google. The groups will add audio, video, lighting, screens, and pipe and drape. The 49ers Academy (the 6th, 7th and 8th grades at the school) will be responsible for organizing and running performances and for-profit events in the new theater. All the children of East Palo Alto will be able to participate in the performances. A master plan is currently being created to fund and arrange for labor, materials and engineering requirements. The project has a target comple-tion date of spring 2014.

This was the first special event produced by GROW, but GROW co-founders Bob Dills and Julie O’Loughlin expect to produce two per year, an outdoor event like this one in the summertime and an awards ceremony in the fall or winter.

Bob thanked all of the sponsors and the Silicon Valley chapters of AFE, IFMA and BOMA for “such wonderful support.” He stressed that, “the impor-tant thing was to launch GROW and improve the visibility of the cause to encourage young people to choose facility management as a career.”

SPECIALISTS IN FACILITATING STRUCTURE 310 W. HAMILTON AVE., CAMPBELL CA 95008408.378.6500 www.TECHNICALBUILDERS.COM

Trust Technical Builders to simplify complex technical projects. Our background in facilities engineering and design-build expertise gives us a keen understanding of the specialized processes and systems that are vital to your operations.

n ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES: Clean Rooms, R & D, Manufacturing Facilities, Data Centers, Semiconductor Fabs, Tool Installations

n LIFE SCIENCES: Biotech, pharmaceutical and medical facilities such as GMP Labs, Tissue Culture Rooms, Vivariums, Dry Rooms

n CORPORATE OFFICES: High end office renovations for existing facilities or new ground-up construction

n SPECIALIZED FACILITIES: Food processing plants, H–occupancy spaces, sports arenas, seismic retrofits

While very sophisticated tools have been in place for very large global corporations, the applications for small and medium size companies are very expensive and much too complicated. This brings to the fore the need to develop more flexible and robust applica-tions that are suitable to the needs of the majority of facilities that require technology support for effective facility and property management. The main areas of interest are in the field of Building Management Systems (BMS) where MEP systems are documented and tracked and CMMS (Computer Main-tenance Maintenance System) where asset management, work order management, pre-ventative maintenance and related needs are set in place.

The Silicon Valley chapter of the AFE will ad-dress this important area of concern in fa-cilities in future education programs so that our members will be provided with the latest developments that are emerging.
