CRE Insight Journal Webinars

How can you prioritize your mental health and wellbeing in the workplace? What does mental health look like in the United States today? What are the essential components of a psychologically healthy workplace? How can you help your team with their mental health and wellbeing? Join Tara Davis, Director of Internal Communication & Staff Wellbeing with the American Psychological Association, as she answers these questions and so many more.

This webinar asks the question, “What is in Your Engineer’s Toolbox?” For many engineers, their toolbox might look the same from the outside, but not all tools in the engineer’s toolbox are used the same or correctly by their operators. During this program, Julian Sanchez, Richard Klareich, and David Vences will share tool tips and tricks that every engineer should know, as well as some additional safety guidance to reduce harm to self and others. This session concludes with an important review of Arc Flash safety and prevention.

2023 TOBY & 2022 Association Awards

The TOBY awards recognize The Outstanding Building of the Year in multiple categories. Winning a TOBY can bring recognition and prestige to a property. The Association Awards acknowledge BOMA Georgia members for excellence in several areas.

On Feb. 15, 2023, BOMA Georgia was pleased to honor Georgia’s top commercial buildings for their achievements in operational excellence at the annual TOBY & Association Award Celebration presented by 2023 Platinum Sponsor, Full Circle Restoration, A Cotton Company.

TOBY judges evaluate a building’s overall excellence in building standards, community involvement, tenant and employee relations, energy management, building accessibility and emergency evacuation and training for building personnel.

Entrants competed in their category based on the strength of their building as represented in their application-demonstrating the quality of their building operations and management practices.

The 2023 TOBY competition featured an impressive group of candidates representing multiple categories.

Local TOBY winners advance to the regional level, where they will compete against other office buildings from across the Southeast at the BOMA Southern Region Conference, held April 13-15 in Orlando Florida, hosted by BOMA Orlando. More information can be found at www.bomasrc23.org.

BOMA Georgia will share the results of the Southern Region TOBY awards in upcoming communications.

Congratulations to all the winners for exemplifying excellence within our BOMA Georgia organization!

Past winners can be found at www.BOMALegacy.org. For more information about the TOBY Awards process, visit https://recognition.boma.org and www.bomageorgia.org/toby.

250,000 to 499,999 Square Feet

Winner: 7000 Central Park

Owner: Starwood Capital Group

Management: Laura Poss, Core Property Capital

Built in 1986, the prominent and modern steel-framed building rises 180 feet tall over a pristine greenspace and water feature. Treated glass wraps the entire building from the third floor to the penthouse on the 18th floor and is framed with sleek aluminum cladding.

The light beige concrete columns at the base of the building support what appears to be an effortless fully-glass structure.

The concrete columns and facade from the first floor Terrace Level to a small portion of the fifth floor are sturdy yet elegant with a modern and clean design. Additional supportive columns to the right of the building entry create an exterior two-story tall seating space.

BOMA Georgia Vendors

This seating area houses lush landscaping in modern planters and luxurious sod while backing up to the two-story floor-toceiling glass windowed lobby.

As viewed from across the building on the other side of the water feature, the building distinctively begins to incline from left to right, beginning at the 14th floor.

This incline continues at an estimated 30-degree angle until the 18th-floor penthouse on the far right of the building creates a stunning apex.

As the building inclines to the right, glass windows are positioned at a slanted angle from the top of the building down to the 14th floor in place of a roof or walls.

These sloped glass windows create a remarkable feature of tenants’ suites that is truly unparalleled throughout the city.

Winner: NCR Global Headquarters

Owner: Cousins Properties

Management: Ashley Simien, Cousins Properties

Designed by Duda|Paine and Gensler, NCR Global Headquarters is located on a 4.16-acre L-shaped site that includes two office towers (North and South). The building’s exterior consists primarily of sloped aluminum framed reflective glass. The sloping creates an illusion of movement as the building moves from day to night and is finished with a dazzling granite stone band at the street level.

The angular glass facade, rising to staggered points, allows the structure to stand out from the surrounding buildings. While the transparent glass facade reveals the activities on every floor to spectators, it also gives employees sweeping views of the city.

The campus fronts Spring Street, 8th Street, and Williams Street in Midtown Atlanta. NCR Global Headquarters is in close proximity to the Georgia Tech campus, the Midtown MARTA station, and the 5th and 10th street pedestrian bridge.

The double LEED Platinum design includes a glass-enclosed entry hall, terraced sidewalk seating, a rooftop amenity-rich sky garden, dining, fitness and meeting/collaboration spaces, a next-generation of office environment, and podium seating in a campus-like setting.

The buildings feature five colors of glass on various levels to add to the unique appearance and allow clear views from the Marché level, fitness center and the lobby. They are of varying size and angles throughout the building with varying shades of coating made of insulated Double Pane, Viracon vision and spandrel glass. Due to a low solar heat gain coefficient of 0.25, the high-performance glass is more effective at reducing solar gain during the summer. At night, the windows are also highlighted by a cascading light wall which highlights the way the glass was installed.

The roofing system at all areas of the building excluding the rooftop garden consists of a structural concrete deck, half-inch deck primer, two layers of 1.5” thick Versico MP-H Polyisocyanurate insulation and topped with a 60-mil VersiFlex PVC Membrane; all of which are adhered. The thermoplastic membrane is designed for long-term weatherability and performance.

Next Generation Energy Storage in Commercial Real Estate

Energy storage allows renewable energy systems to store energy to make sustainable energy more efficient and effective in commercial real estate. Energy storage is a way for buildings to operate with lower energy costs and higher sustainability by saving excess energy for later use.

The Department of Energy (DOE) has been funding and supporting research on energy storage and recently devoted $505 million dollars toward a four-year initiative focused on commercializing and implementing energy storage in the United States. Currently, shortterm energy storage batteries like lithium-ion batteries are popular, but they typically only hold energy for two to four hours.

In September 2022, the DOE hosted the second annual Energy Storage Grand Challenge Summit. This summit focused on the unification of energy focused organizations and government organizations to achieve long term energy storage and discuss the newest technologies with leading professionals. This summit included discussions, presentations, and collaborations to ensure steps toward affordable and functional long duration energy storage.

The Energy Storage Grand Challenge (ESGC) was created to foster growth in innovative battery designs and propel the industry many years forward. The ultimate goal of the ESGC is “to develop and domestically manufacture energy storage technologies that can meet all marketplace demands by 2030.”

Their focus for achieving and deploying energy storage technology that can support the energy market by 2030 hinges on reliability and security. To aid in this achievement, the DOE introduced the ESGC Roadmap in 2020 that employs various tracks to achieve that goal that includes everything from policy to technology.

On-Site Energy Storage

Progression in energy storage technology helps answer the question “What if we have extra power from renewables and what do we do with it?” In the next decade, commercial real estate owners could have the opportunity to implement on-site energy storage that stores energy from solar panels, wind, energy, or other sustainable energy sources.

On-site energy storage would allow commercial real estate owners to rely less on the traditional energy grid. Specifically in times of high demand, property owners can save money on electricity while also practicing sustainability.

Long Versus Short-Duration Energy Storage

Long-duration energy storage is categorized by systems that can store energy for long periods of time like multiple hours or days. pumped storage hydropower (PSH) systmes like reservoirs act as long-duration energy storage because water is pumped to an upper reservoir to store the hydroelectric power while there is excess energy in the power grid and can be released when needed. There are numerous innovative PSH technologies being developed currently, such as submersible pump-turbines, geomechanical PSH, and hybrid systems.

Short-duration energy storage is categorized by system that store energy for shorter periods of time like hours or minutes. Lithium or Cobalt batteries are an example of short duration energy storage, and they power most electric vehicles and are rechargeable.

The implementation of these energy storage systems could lower energy costs because building will depend less on regular energy as opposed to renewable sources. On-site renewable energy storage can also help building owners and managers better regulate their energy usage.

The progress of energy storage systems makes renewable energy systems more cost effective by making them more useful for long duration energy storage. Regulating the power grid will also reduce current fluctuations in availability and cost.

Demand/ Energy Security

The introduction of energy storage technology can decrease and stabilized demand for energy on the power grid.

The introduction of energy storage technology in commercial real estate spaces can also make electricity more reliable by not depending on the power grid but also being able to avoid fluctuations in renewable energy sources outputs.

For example, if you’re using solar panels at your property and your area is sunny for two weeks then overcast the following two weeks, energy storage systems would allow you to store the energy from the previous weeks to use during the overcast weeks.

Overall Sustainability

In terms of sustainability, the availability of energy storage systems as well as renewable energy sources reduces reliance on fossil fuels and subsequently reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Energy storage solutions also make renewable energy sources more reliable and intuitive to implement in all sectors.

A study from the journal, Nature Communications, found that “some energy storage technologies allow 90-percent CO2 reductions.” Their study showed the quantitative benefit energy storage can have on reducing carbon dioxide emissions and thus greenhouse gas emissions. The implementation of renewable energy storage solutions can make a significant impact on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Youth Mentorship: Opportunities for Corporate Social Responsibility

Youth mentorship and community outreach not only enriches your local community but also benefits your organization as a whole. Mentors can offer guidance, support, and advice that can be instrumental in shaping a mentee’s future.

Through youth mentoring, employees get an opportunity to participate in volunteerism while also benefiting their company.

“We know that employees, particularly young talent, want to volunteer and they want to work for organizations that are community focused.” Explained President and CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta, Kwame Johnson.

Youth mentorship programs offer numerous benefits to both the mentees and the mentors. Mentors have the opportunity to make a positive impact on someone else’s life, while also developing or reaffirming their own skills and expanding their professional networks

For both mentors and their mentees, it is important for individuals and organizations to champion and participate in youth mentorship programs to enrich themselves, local communities, and their mentees.

Big Brother Big Sisters

At Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta, they support mentoring within their school, community, and beyond.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of metro Atlanta is a mentorship and training organization focused on connecting mentors and mentees to help middle and high school kids get one-on-one support and encouragement.

Through the “Beyond School Walls” program, high schools can partner with corporate organizations to foster mentoring relationships between high schoolers and employees to learn about college readiness and career opportunities.

Students can visit a company’s office space and gain valuable knowledge about the organization and profession. Partner companies involved in this relationship have the opportunity to participate in community outreach as well as encourage and support students in their community.

Organizational Benefits

With youth mentoring, students get an opportunity to really see what an organization is like, which helps a company get exposure and interest for young talent.

Insight • Issue 1, 2023 18
MENTORSHIP
“Everymentorsaysthesamething–thatthey’vegottenmore outofitthantheyputin,” Johnson explained.

By participating in youth mentorship programs, companies have the opportunity to find and develop new talent, engage and give back to their communities, and engage their employees in meaningful outreach and volunteerism.

Mentors can inspire and motivate young people by sharing their own experiences and successes. They can also provide guidance on how to overcome challenges and obstacles, which can help young people develop resilience and selfconfidence.

“Youcanshowyouremployeesthatyou’reagreatcorporate citizenandinvolvedwithvolunteerism,youngmillennialslove that,and[youthmentoring]canalsohelpyousolvepipeline issues overtime.”said Johnson.

By investing in your community, you can not only have a direct positive impact, but you can also show your support of education, social responsibility, and empowering the future workforce.

Individual Mentee Impact

“This type of program helps young people get out of high school, get into jobs, and helps them get out of poverty.” explained Johnson.

“Poverty is one of the biggest issues we face as a city, and as a country, because so many other bad things come out of it. We’re really solving some of the key issues in Atlanta by helping young people reach their full potential and graduate high school and get exposure to the work place,” said Johnson.

Youth mentorship programs help young people see corporate spaces and envision all the possibilities their futures hold. Many young people do not know all the opportunities out there, and mentors can help introduce them to careers they never thought of and can help bring new perspectives into an industry.

These experiences can also help young people in developing necessary skills for the workplace. Mentors can demonstrate and teach valuable skills such as communication, leadership, problem-solving, time management, and much more.

Demonstrating and explaining these skills can make an enormous difference in an emerging professional’s career. These skills are essential for success in any career and will benefit young people in the long term.

When companies pair their workforce with these young people, mentees gain access to new opportunities and ideas. Mentors are well positioned to offer career advise and suggested educational pursuits.

Perhaps one of the best features of these relationships comes through access and exposure to the professional networks this arrangement offers. It’s the old adage, “It’s not just what you know, it is who you know.”

This can be especially valuable for young people who may not have had access to such opportunities otherwise. Between networking opportunities, skill development, youth mentorship can have an enormous positive impact on young people in your community.

Personal Mentor Benefits

Youth mentorship not only helps students and your community, but it is also incredibly rewarding for a mentor to encourage their mentee and help them succeed. Mentors can gain a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction from watching their mentees flourish.

These programs can help develop their own leadership and communication skills, all while gaining a deeper understanding of the challenges emerging leaders face today.

Employees who engage in youth mentorship and professional mentorship have the opportunity to diversify their leadership skills which can contribute to their own professional development.

This opportunity helps give employees a chance to directly participate and encourage the youth in their communities. Mentors who participate in youth mentorship programs often become more engaged within their community.

By working with young people, mentors can gain a better understanding of the challenges facing their neighbors, and become better connected with the people and organizations working to address these challenges.

“This is something that is not only going to help a young person, but it’s also going to be very rewarding for you in your life, and I can personally speak to that being a mentor myself,” said Johnson.

ATL Year of the Youth

On Jan. 30, 2023, Mayor Andre Dickens of Atlanta declared that 2023 is the Year of the Youth in Atlanta.

Local Utility Providers, Tax Credits, and Rebates

Many gas, energy, and water utility companies offer rebates and savings to encourage sustainable options for building owners and managers. Utility savings programs can generally be broken into two main categories – prescriptive rebates and custom rebates.

Prescriptive rebates are more generic and apply to qualified utility customers. These programs generally base rebates and savings on the usage of high-efficiency equipment like LED lighting, variable frequency drives (VFD), HVAC systems, and others.

Prescriptive programs are simple to enter, and equipment can be pre-approved for a rebate prior to it being installed, depending on the program and company.

Custom rebates are specific to each building. If new construction or facility improvement does not fit into the prescriptive rebates or any other utility rebate program, a custom rebate can be designed based around the energy-savings your new construction or facility upgrade would bring.

Depending on the utility company, a custom rebate may be separate from prescriptive or other rebates, so buildings may apply for multiple types of rebates and receive all of them.

Prescriptive and custom rebates are important programs for assisting building upgrades and new construction. The EPA keeps a database of tax credits, rebates, and savings for each utility provider, federal, local, and state governments, non-profit organizations, and other organizations offering rebates and incentives.

These are collected in the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) website (scan the QR code below to access).

Codes and CRE: How they are Developed, Adopted, and Applied

Codes are paramount to buildings and architecture. Building codes ensure that properties are built and operated in compliance with safety and health standards, as well as local laws and regulations. They guide what can and cannot be done when building, designing, and drafting architecture.

Adhering to building codes can help mitigate risks of property damage, injury, loss of life, and can help harden a property for extreme events such as tornados and floods.

For example, fire codes require the installation of fire alarms, sprinkler systems, and emergency exits, which can help prevent fires from spreading and protect building occupants in the event of an emergency.

These codes impact the day-to-day lives of many people, from the elevators we ride to the wires overhead, codes are everywhere. But where do they come from?

Codes are developed over many years, then adopted by states and localities, and finally applied to building projects in local jurisdictions.

The ICC

The International Code Council (ICC) is one of a few groups developing codes. Their I-Codes (International Codes) have been adopted in all 50 states and forms the basis of many countries’ building codes, such as Mexico, Saudi Arabia, and Colombia.

I-Codes cover all aspects of a building, from energy conservation and swimming pools to plumbing and zoning. These codes are thorough and nuanced, many codes appear rigid and absolute, but almost all of them rely on code officials’ interpretations for application.

The ICC develops code on a three-year cycle and makes changes based on amendments made during the previous adoption cycle. These changes are made through an open and transparent process over a minimum of 120 days.

The ICC voting members meet and discuss proposed changes in an open forum. Any member of the public can submit a code change for the International Code Council’s review as an interested party and begin the development process.

Development

Code changes are posted at least 30 days ahead of a hearing, giving ample time for the public to review. This hearing is open to the public at no charge and can be viewed online as a stream or later as a video.

The hearing begins with a floor discussion during which the proposal is considered. This hearing allows for the code committee to both vet the change and parties putting it forward.

Interested parties may present their case on the proposed code change, and once it is discussed, the code development committee gives their recommendation on the code to the ICC.

Insight • Issue 1, 2023 30 CODES

ICC Members in attendance may challenge this as part of an Assembly Action. If there is no challenge and the assembly passes or denies the proposed change, the results of the hearing are posted to the ICC website 60 days ahead of the final action.

At this point, interested parties may submit comments on the code changes online to the code development committee. These comments are collected and posted publicly 30 days before final action.

The final part of development is a final action hearing, where eligible voters cast their votes on the proposed code change.

These voters consist of designated governmental and honorary members, and the hearing is open to the public both in person and online.

In the final action hearing, a code change is allowed or denied, and if it is allowed, it will appear in the next ICC edition on a three-year cycle.

Adoption

Codes are adopted and amended at a state level every few years, then local jurisdictions apply the codes within their spheres of influence. Adopted codes cannot be less stringent when used by local jurisdictions, only stricter.

States adopt codes on different cycles. Florida adopts changes every 3 years, Georgia adopts on a 6-year cycle, and many states, such as Texas, Alabama, and Tennessee, have a mixture of codes from different years.

States amend codes before adoption to better fit their local areas, and these amendments are an integral part of the adoption and development process.

For example, Georgia follows the ICC codes in most areas, but for chapter 10 of the International Building Code (IBC), they have adopted NFPA 101, the National Fire Protection Association’s Life Safety Code.

This amendment was part of a deal between the State Fire Marshal and the group in charge of the code adoption, the Department of Community Affairs (DCA), and illustrates the process through which States change codes as they adopt them.

Code adoption can be a long process, with many stakeholders and experts weighing in at every level. Once codes are adopted at a state level, a local jurisdiction, such as a city or county, applies these codes to building projects in their areas.

ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS

Do my elevators run reliably?

Are there too many recurring elevator problems?

Do I only see the elevator technician when my elevator is broken?

Am I getting billed for trouble calls that could have been prevented by maintenance?

On some problems when I really need my elevator ser vice company to help me out, do I instead feel like I am being held over a barrel?

Now ask yourself this question: What would true preventive maintenance look like?

Application

Codes are applied early in the building process. Architects send their drawings to code officials for approval and comments. The drawing is approved or denied, and if denied the architect or firm revises the plan based on comments from the code official.

Code officials have a wide berth when it comes to interpreting codes, and the many nuances in codes matter immensely for their application.

“Codes are open to interpretation,” explained Mark Schroeder of IA Interior Architects.

“In most cases, if a code official disagrees with a particular interpretation of the code from the Architect, they will listen to the Architect’s interpretation to gain an understanding of why they are interpreting it the way they are.”

Even changing the inflection on an “and” between codes cycles can have enormous effects, and the interpretation of codes by officials can bring in business or dissuade it.

Code officials are highly trained and receive nearly continuous education on the codes they enforce. Even with this, code enforcement can cause a cascade of difficulties on projects, as you must always apply the most current adopted code to a project.

This may sound like no big deal, but old buildings were built under different specifications and codes but require applications of new codes never expected when the building went up. This can lead to headaches for architects retrofitting an older building.

“If the architect is prepared with a good argument and a solid methodology to walk the code official through the how’s and why’s of their interpretation, the architect stands a very good chance of convincing the code official,” Schroeder stated.

“Remeber, code officials are people too, and they are always trying to improve upon their knowledge base.”

Codes are a daily reminder of how far we have come. They help keep people safe and secure, and they are built on the backs of years of amendments, development, and at times tragedy.

There are many drives to change and enhance codes, but their adoption and application remain a cornerstone of humanity’s progress in architecture and safety.
