"Crossroads: the Transformation and Survival of the Facility Manager"
FM Internal Marketing Event
Friday, June 18, 2010
BMW Seattle’s Facility @ 1002
Airport Way South/Seattle, WA

The Facility Manager
must be in alignment with their organization’s vision and strategy. However, the
ugly truth is that misfit projects that don’t align with the goals are occurring
daily no matter the industry. Today's turbulent economy adds more fuel to that
fire. What to do? Do you get rid of the project, keep doing the same thing or
create change? Despite all the hype about best value practices, FMs have seen
very little actual improvement.
Meet the best value expert - Dr. Dean Kashiwagi, 2009 IFMA Awards of Excellence
Distinguished Educator. This session will introduce an innovative best value
delivery system known as the Performance Information Risk Management System
(PIRMS). PIRMS can assist Facility Manager’s and their staff to complete
projects with less work, but yielding better results. We will share case study
results showing how other FMs have used PIRMS successfully. This system has been
tested more than 650 times ($2.5 billion project costs) over 15 years and has
delivered on time results 98% of the time, with high client satisfaction and no
contractor generated change orders.

West Coast EMC – Portfolio Manager Benchmarking Workshop
June 16, 2010
Washington State Convention & Trade Center
Special seminar during the EMC Conference & Expo
2:00-4:00 p.m.
Cost: Free
The West Coast continues to
be at the cutting edge of policies that promote energy efficiency and greenhouse
gas mitigation in commercial buildings. Seattle and California, among other
jurisdictions, have mandated the public disclosure of building energy use.
Commercial building owners and operators can use EPA’s energy
performance tool, Portfolio Manager, to measure and disclose a building’s
energy performance score.
Join us for this workshop
that will demonstrate how to use Portfolio Manager to measure, track, document
and recognize building energy performance.

AIA+2030: Right-sized - Equipment and Controls for
Super-efficient Building Systems
July 23, 2010
from 8.30am-12.30pm
Bertha Knight Landes Room at Seattle City Hall
600 4th Avenue/Seattle, WA
This
class is part of AIA+2030, a ten-session Professional Series to help design
professionals create buildings that meet the energy efficiency goals of the 2030
Challenge.
Learn more and Register for the series. Series fee: $1,200.00
Session VII: Right-sized: equipment and controls for
super-efficient building system
After designing for maximum passive use of site resources and mitigating energy
loads, the next step to a breakthrough building is properly sized equipment and
employment of advanced controls. This session will explore the concept and
application of designing and specifying equipment and controls for buildings
that are already designed to take care of themselves, and need mechanical
intervention only during periods of peak demand. Systems such as hybrid
natural-mechanical ventilation systems and other approaches to engineer the
mechanical system to be as small (efficient) and effective as possible will be
explored.
Learning objectives:
Upon completion of this session, attendees will be able to:
- Describe the concept of right-sizing as it applies to buildings employing
passive energy conservation strategies
- Explain the importance of controls in optimizing the efficiency of equipment
- Enumerate energy efficient strategies to maintain occupant comfort
