Four Safety Behaviors That Cause "Mayhem"

10:15am - 11:15am 

Room A
Roofing & Solar For Commercial Facilities
Clint Sockman, Vice President; Advanced Roofing Inc.
This session will begin with basic knowledge of roofing and waterproofing systems, their history and life cycle analysis and information on high performance roofing systems including single ply membranes & coatings.  It will also provide basic knowledge of the Roof Point roof evaluation &rating system and roof insulations and best practices for installation of such.  The session will continue with basic knowledge of building integrated photo-voltaic technologies and their integration into existing structures & roofing membranes.  It will also include information about daylinghting technologies and integration into existing structures & roofing membranes; and will close with the basics of protecting your investments through preventative maintenance.

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
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.

11:30am - 12:30pm
