9:00am - 10:00am
Room A
COVID-19 - After the Curve
Anthony R Febbraro, CIAQP, CIEC; President , Facility Environmental Partners
As we are at the various stages of COVID-19 disease mitigation steps, including isolation and ‘Spatial distancing’, we need to start looking at what needs to change when everyone is called back to work. While the hope is to ‘flatten the curve’, what will happen once we hit the right side of that curve? REALIZE: IF WE DO NOT CHANGE BEHAVIOR, WE WILL JUST RESTART A NEW CURVE. It just takes ONE contagious person to restart the increase in COVID-19 cases!!
•WHAT CAN BUSINESS AND EMPLOYEES DO TO HELP MAKE A SAFER WORKPLACE?
•WHAT CAN BUILDING ENGINEERS DO TO MAINTAIN A SAFER WORKSPACE?
Room B
LED Lighting, What you need to know!
E. W. Dovel, VP Public Sector; Orion Energy Systems, Inc.
LED Lighting has improved dramatically in recent years. This session will illustrate the pit falls to watch for when selecting LED Lighting, provide actual LED Lighting S/F projections for various building types and provide a glimpse into the future in LED Lighting.
10:15am - 11:15am
Room A
Rethinking HVAC Restoration
Troy Raszka, Vice President of Marketing; Pure Air Control Services
This presentation will outline the viability of restoration for aging HVAC equipment and the return on investment. It will demonstrate with the support of case studies: Performance improvements in CFM, Static Pressure, Cooling Capacity, corresponding energy efficiency gains and CAPEX savings. An in-depth look at the process of reconditioning the HVAC system will also be covered. This includes steam coil cleaning, specialized coatings, closed cell insulation and an ECM fan array upgrade. Restore in place options will also be discussed for equipment located in areas not feasible for replacement. Ultimately, HVAC restoration is a sustainable, less disruptive, more cost effective solution than replacement and can pay for itself in energy savings.
Room B
Raising Awareness of Legionella Presence in our Local Communities
Katie Strothman, Laboratory Director & Quality Assurance Manager; Sanders Laboratories, Inc.
This session will examine Legionella pneumophila; a harmful water bacterium that is the primary cause of Legionnaire's Disease, an often deadly form of pneumonia (1 in 10 die) that can leave those affected with permanent symptoms. Attendees will learn how to control this deadly bacterium we have found in sink spray faucets, pools, fountains, spas/hot tubs and outdoor / indoor showers causing liability issues in several industries. Attendees will also learn that, regretfully, Legionella is not very well regulated; leaving a gap in protection that does not reduce the risk of legal action to the facility owners and how to address this gap.
Room C
How to Avoid Moisture Problems in Buildings
Gary Lamphier, Principal & Technical Director; Lamphier & Company
Basic building sciences are explained with focus on design, construction and maintenance. Topics discussed will be: 1. Moisture intrusion, what usually causes a mold problem.
2. What changed over the years leading to more problems with moisture & sustainability.
3. Where to look and what can be done to avoid having a moisture problem.
11:30am - 12:30pm
Room A
OSHA's Guidance and Enforcement Policies During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Joan Spencer; Compliance Assistance Specialist, Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA)
Eliminating hazards from COVID-19 remains a top priority for OSHA. The government and the private sector have taken rapid and evolving steps to slow the virus's spread, protect employees and adapt to new ways of doing business. This seminar will discuss recently updated OSHA Guidance on Preparing Workplaces for COVID-19 and OSHA Guidance on Returning to Work. OSHA Enforcement Policies updated during the COVID-19 Pandemic will also be discussed.
Room B
Industrial - Process Cooling Filtration
David Romeo, Filtration Engineer; Miller-Leaman, Inc.
Cooling Towers perform an important function in reducing heat in facility & manufacturing operations. The two primary components to maintaining “healthy” cooling water in cooling towers are water treatment and filtration. Filtration efficiency, water consumption and ongoing maintenance costs are important considerations in selecting the most appropriate filtration system for any given application. This seminar will look at most common types of filtration technologies for processing cooling water along with the pros and cons of each; including Manual Filters, Hybrid Filters, Automatic Filters, Centrifugal Separators & Disc Filters.
Room C
The Power of Pipelining
Nancy Freeman, Business Development & Ken Powell, Business Development; Engineered Lining Systems
Attendees at this session will learn how to remediate both small and large diameter sewer and storm pipes without tearing up and replacing existing infrastructure. The benefits of performing predictive maintenance on systems through pipe investigations and cleaning; as well as the Power of Pipelining as a structural solution will also be discussed.
