| October 7, 2008 | | 10:00 AM | Session 1 - Green Building Session/Credit Class: Indoor Air Quality Requirements of Green Buildings
Raymond Johnson, Corporate Principal, Concord Engineering Group,
1 Hour
Indoor air quality standards are an integral part of the LEED for Existing Buildings rating system. The USGBC’s LEED-EB helps building owners and operators measure operations, improvements and maintenance on a consistent scale, with the goal of maximizing operational efficiency while minimizing environmental impacts. Learn fundamental information on LEED-EB specific to indoor air quality in this session.
Note: this class is approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) for 1 HSW Learning Unit (1 LU is equivalent to 1 PDH or .1 CEU) and is open to any interested individual, not just AIA members.
| | 10:00 AM | Session 2 - Leveraging the Power of Infrared for Facilities Inspection
Matt Crawford, FLIR Systems
1 Hour
This session will explore how infrared (IR) technology can be used to monitor and diagnose building conditions. IR can discover hidden issues that can impact structural integrity, worker welfare, and capital investment. Examples will illustrate how infrared can detect moisture, electrical problems, roofing issues, and more. | | 11:00 AM | Session 3 - Green Building Session: Energy Waste in Green Buildings: a Common Problem
Lawrence Spielvogel, Consulting Engineer
1 Hour
Learn how energy benchmarks for Green Buildings are set, exceeded, and the resulting performance. Too often, Green Buildings waste energy efficiently! Codes and standards that serve as the minimum basis for Green Building design include the IECC, ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1, and the proposed ASHRAE Standard 189 for high-performance Green Building design. Included will be case studies of Green Building measured energy performance and reasons why widely promoted design concepts for saving energy may not or are not achieving the desired results. | | 11:00 AM | Session 4 - Emergency Action Planning
Sunny Corona, Managing Partner, Custom Safety Services
1 Hour
This session will provide an overview of the requirements for OSHA Standards 1910.38 on Emergency Action Plans and 1910.39 on Fire Prevention Plans. The speaker will outline elements of the plans and discuss training for task force members. | | 2:00 PM | Session 5 - Green Building Session: Improving Your Motor Management For Improved Efficiency
Bob Bush, Emerson Motor Company
1 Hour
Because electric motors consume as much as 55% of commercial and industrial energy, they offer the best opportunity for energy cost reduction. This session will focus on a systematic approach for evaluating your motors' energy use characteristics, and replacing or upgrading where necessary to improve efficiency. Also discussed will be the motor regulations included in the Energy Independence and Security Act that became law in December 2007. | | 2:00 PM | Session 6 - Roofing Systems: Applications, Management, Energy Savings
Michael Mangiaruga, CentiMark Roofing Systems
1 Hour
Learn about roofing systems for commercial and industrial facilities, including what types of systems are best-suited to particular building types. Included will be information on maintenance requirements, warranties, roof asset management, and typical ROI. Also discussed will be energy-savings aspects of roofing systems, and recommendations for accommodating solar equipment. | | 3:00 PM | Session 7 - Green Building Session: Solar Power in the New Jersey Region
Lyle Rawlings, Chief Executive Officer, Advanced Solar Products,
2 Hour
Whether your facility is large or small, there are many possibilities for the use of photovoltaics. The speaker will provide a basic primer on solar systems, typical applications, and the economics of the installations. He will provide details on the latest government incentives for solar power systems in New Jersey, and a look at things to come. Attendees will gain an understanding of PV technology, why they would or would not want to use solar in their particular application, and how to proceed. | | 3:00 PM | Session 8 - Addressing IAQ Problems Related to Mold and Insulation
James Choquette,Duct and Vent Cleaning of America
1 hour
This session will focus on two indoor-air-quality (IAQ) problems associated with interior insulation in air conveyor systems: 1) mold, and 2) release of fibers. When insulation gets wet, it frequently harbors mold; and when insulation deteriorates, it releases fiberglass fibers into the air stream. Learn how to avoid or solve these problems, via encapsulation or replacement with new advanced coatings and closed-cell insulation. | | October 8, 2008 | | 8:20 AM | Session 10 - OSHA's Revised Recordkeeping Standard: Are You in Compliance?
Lou Lento, Compliance Assistance Specialist, USDOL-OSHA
1 Hour
OSHA's revised Standard on Occupational Injury and Illness Recording and Reporting Requirements took effect in January of 2002. This session will help you determine if your facility has been following through correctly with the requirements of this Recordkeeping Standard. Among the topics discussed will be the OSHA 300 Log – what is and is not recordable, the time frame for recording an incident, medical treatment aspects, and privacy aspects. | | 8:20 AM | Session 9 - Ultrasonic Testing: an Important Energy-Conservation Tool for Green Facilities
Howard Napier, U.E. Systems, Inc.
1 Hour
Learn how ultrasound technology can be used for a wide range of energy-conservation improvements that support Green goals. Included in this presentation will be methods and concepts for effective steam trap audits, compressed air leak inspection and mechanical inspection. Also described will be the latest developments in software, including spectral analysis and leak survey cost avoidance analysis. | | 9:25 AM | Session 11 - Green Building Session: Energy-Efficient Lighting Technology – Practices, Measures and Equipment
Meredith Nole, Lighting Energy Specialist
1 Hour
Learn about proven lighting technology that offers high lighting quality with significant savings. The speaker will discuss how to choose lamps, ballasts, controls and sensors that will achieve the highest total efficiency. Also hear about the newest LED technology, including solar-operated pole-located LED lighting. | | 9:25 AM | Session 12 - Facility Leakage: How to Locate It, What it Costs, and How to Solve It
Steven Yunker, Loctite Division of Henkel Corp.
1 Hour
This session focuses on the problem of leakage (air, water, hydraulic) in commercial, industrial and other large facilities. The speaker will discuss the most common areas of leakage and their causes, leakage waste and how to calculate it (a leak-cost calculator will be provided to attendees), and steps in conducting a leak-check audit. Various solutions for fixing leaks will be presented. | | 11:00 AM | Session 13 - Green Building Session/Credit Class: LEED-EB – Guidelines for Improved Energy Management, Operations and Maintenance
Gerard Hazel, Sustainable Systems LLC
1 Hour
As a cutting-edge, consensus-based system for certifying Green Building performance, operation and maintenance, the LEED for Existing Buildings Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Rating System provides a road map for those who wish to drive down operating costs while increasing occupants’ productivity in an environmentally responsible manner. Learn fundamental information on the LEED-EB O&M Rating System in this session.
Note: this class is approved by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) for 1 HSW Learning Unit (1 LU is equivalent to 1 PDH or .1 CEU) and is open to any interested individual, not just AIA members.
| | 11:00 AM | Session 14 - Harmonics: a Look at the Problem and How to Solve It
Joe Gierlach, TEGG Services
2 Hour
Harmonic distortion within a facility power system can cause damage to motors, capacitors and other equipment. The speaker will discuss harmonic voltages and currents, the sources of harmonics such as power electronic equipment, symptoms of problems, and mitigation options. Learn steps you can take to correct harmonics problems and achieve benefits at your facility. | | 12:10 PM | Session A - Special Attraction: Free Screening of Furnishing Green Buildings and Office Recycling
35 Minutes
Open to all show and conference attendees is this free screening of two films: Furnishing Green Buildings (18 minutes) and Office Recycling (15 minutes).

Wayne Pfisterer, President, Pfister Energy, Inc.
1 Hour
Green roofs – also called vegetative roofs – are currently a hot topic in America, though they’ve been widely used in Europe for over 50 years. Suitable for many commercial, industrial and institutional applications, they can increase the life of the roof, reduce building cooling costs and are an excellent tool for stormwater management and cleansing, thereby reducing water pollution. Learn more in this session. |
