2019 GP-FM EDUCATION FORUM SCHEDULE
(Please check back in early 2020 for our 2020 GP-FM Seminar Schedule)
(Please check back in early 2020 for our 2020 GP-FM Seminar Schedule)
9:00am - 10:00am
Room A
Close Building Performance Gaps with Resources from PECO
Rachel Krueger, Outreach Associate; PECO Smart Ideas
Activate your building performance improvement plan using PECO’s Building Assessment Reports coupled with a variety of market incentives to identify action steps and fund your improvements. Participants will learn about a free resource offered by PECO that can at-a-glance show customers how their buildings are performing, how to prioritize improvements, as well savings impacts for each recommendation.
Room B
Transitioning from PDM Inspections to CBM Programs
Wayne Vick, CEO/President; Infralogix and Tim Collier, Program Manager; Infralogix
Today's Predictive Maintenance Technologies (i.e. Infrared, Ultrasonic, Vibration Analysis) and associated inspections are rapidly being integrated into Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) Programs. These enhanced asset "care" strategies are enabling facility/asset owners to further improve equipment reliability and continually reduce overall asset maintenance costs for infrastructure, utility systems and process/production assets.
Room C
Increasing Machinery Reliability Using Hands-On Training
Thomas B. Davis (Tom); Mechanical Engineer, Maintenance Troubleshooting International
Did you know that small changes in machinery repair can spell the difference between a 2-year life to a 16-year life in rotating equipment? If you maintain pumps, fans, blowers, gear boxes, or compressors in your job or manage people that do, this seminar will show you how to increase the rotational life of those machines with a hands-on learning approach. Certain common components are shared by many machines and understanding how to assemble and install these components properly can be learned best with a hands-on training approach. Teach your people or yourself the small details that make machines last longer and reduce downtime by learning by doing. Hands-on training works, but what does it cost and is it worth the effort? Learn why.
Room D
Maintenance Shows of America and GP-FM 2019 are proud to welcome…
Delaware Valley School Facilities Managers Association
Association meeting hosted by: Bob Perzel, President; Delaware Valley School Facility Manager's Association
This meeting is open to all Delaware Valley School Facility Managers Association members & guests.
10:15am - 11:15am
Room A
Improve Your Bottom Line through Energy Efficiency
Karine Shamlian, Marketing and Outreach; PGW EnergySense
Building engineers and facility managers using natural gas can lower their operating and maintenance costs and increase the overall value of their facilities by upgrading to high-efficiency space and water heating equipment. PGW EnergySense offers equipment rebates and construction grants that can help.
Room B
Cooling Tower Deficiencies and Solutions
Chris Healey, General Manager; Morin Distribution/The Cooling Tower Store
This educational seminar will provide insight to Cooling Tower Basics and Operational Deficiencies that building and facility maintenance operators typically experience along with updates of new technological advances and solutions that are currently available to recover performance and increase life expectancy of the equipment.
Room C
LED Lighting, What you need to know!
E. W. Dovel, VP Public Sector; Orion Energy Systems, Inc.
LED Lighting has improved dramatically in the last 2 years. This session will illustrate the pit falls to watch for when selecting, provide actual S/F projections for building types and provide a glimpse of the future in lighting.
11:30am - 12:30am
Room A
Conquering the EH&S Challenges That All Facility Managers Face
Mark Roman, President; Envision Environmental, Inc.
This forum will review key elements of facility management and how they relate to EH&S issues, including:
- Clarifying how it is critical that facility managers learn to recognize EH&S blind spots and problem areas
at their facilities.
- Identifying how to develop a proactive approach to address EH&S issues that will result in increased
productivity, profits, and employee safety.
- Identifying the four core foundations that all facility managers must implement in order to develop a
robust EH&S program.
Room B
Not Your Father's Electricity Bill
Ron Appleton, Senior Energy Advisor; Usource
It's more than just the commodity. Your facility may be in a fixed-price electricity supply contract but the truth is, when you contract for a fixed electricity price you’re locking in the majority of price exposure, but real price risk still remains. Your electricity supply price is comprised of several cost components. In this session a Usource energy advisor will discuss what each of the components mean to you and what you can do to avoid surprise price increases.
Room C
Photoluminescent Products for Safety, Sustainability, and Savings
Richard J. Martin; Owner, AfterGlow, LLC
The speaker will provide the audience with an introduction to photo-luminescent (PL), or "glow-in-the-dark", egress marking systems as they pertain to building codes for safety, common applications, and cost benefits. PL products are sustainable and can earn LEED credit for building owners in green building design and construction.
12:45pm - 1:45pm
Room B
Air Vents and Corrosion: New Requirements of 2016 NFPA 13
James McHugh, President; AGF Manufacturing
Jurisdictions are adopting the International Building Code 2018 edition and the 2018 edition of NFPA 101: Life Safety Code that adopts the 2016 edition if NFPA 13 by reference. This program will address technical changes specific to corrosion and air vents for the 2016 edition of NFPA 13. The 2016 NFPA adds a new requirement that a single air vent is installed for each wet sprinkler system to help reduce potential corrosion activity due to trapped air. A task group concluded that venting the trapped air in a wet system can decrease water delivery time, reduce alarm ring delay, reduce water flow alarm cyclic ringing, and reduce corrosion activity. Participants will understand the intent of the new code, design requirements and current air vent options on the market. This program should appeal to facility maintenance professionals, sprinkler designers, installers, estimators, engineers, fire code officials, AHJs and plan reviewers.
Room B
Moving Forward On Sustainability Goals: The Role of Facilities Professionals
Kenneth Hellberg; Commercial Energy Efficiency Program Coordinator,
Pennsylvania College of Technology - National Sustainable Structures Center
Organizations are adopting newer and more aggressive sustainability goals in their operations and few are more important in reaching these goals than those who work in facilities. This talk will discuss the trends in sustainability, the impacts those trends have had on facilities, and how facilities professionals can prepare themselves to be a leader as these trends go mainstream.
Room C
Site Energy Monitoring and Cost Reduction
William Green, Professional Engineer and Kit Gutteridge, President; Applied Energy Partners
This presentation will show attendees how to monitor any electrical load 24/7 to detect over use, spurious draw and signals to alert management of pending equipment issues. Monitoring systems are state of the art and can be used to document baseline loads on building, economical upgrades of HVAC or other mechanical systems such as compressed air and production systems.
