Power Shutdowns: The New Norm for Property Managers Unfortunately, I have never had the experience of owning or managing property in a third-world country. If I had, I might have been better prepared for the PG&E shutdowns which occurred during the past few weeks. Here in the Bay Area, we have experienced power outages, but never for more than a few hours — and they can hardly be considered frequent. As property professionals, our usual plan of action is to field calls from tenants who seem to think we have a giant PG&E switch in our office that somebody must have mistakenly turned off and assure them that the power will soon be restored (because it always is) within a few hours or even minutes. Job done, let’s go to lunch! There are lots of theories on why PG&E is instigating these shutdowns—punishment for litigation resulting from recent fires, showing us how bad it can get if taxpayers don’t bail them out of their current financial mess, justification of rate hikes to repair outdated and antiquated equipment, and a genuine plan of action to help prevent catastrophic fires. Whatever the newest theory, our reality is that we can expect this to become the new norm. We need to prepare as property professionals how best to deal with these extended shutdowns in a manner that ensures the safety, security, comfort and general well-being of our tenants and buildings. This requires thoughtful evaluation of all possible building systems affected and a discussion of how to mitigate potential problems such as access, monitoring, data loss, surge protection, etc. For example, we have a biotech tenant with large refrigerators full of all sorts of specimens that would be lost if they couldn’t keep the refrigerators running. They brought in temporary generators to solve the immediate problem, and now we are working with them to create Image: Adobe Stock.

President’s Column (Continued from page 2)
a permanent solution for the inevitable reality in the coming years. Another tenant was concerned about what to do when the power came back on and the issue of power surge protection. This prompted us to look at our building systems and how the power surge would affect them. Start with information. We sent out emails to all of our tenants with the PG&E map of the proposed shutdown areas. We had one resourceful contractor call us, ask if our building had a generator and, being informed that we didn’t, let us know they would not be showing up. They not only took one thing off the table for us to worry about, but they also didn’t have to spend resources on employees showing up and not being able to work. Smart. I am sure many of you are just as smart and have or are developing best practices for our new reality. The power outages served as a reminder for many of us to re-examine and refine our buildings’ emergency plans. BOMA OEB is dedicated to being a top resource for property professionals in the commercial real estate industry, and BOMA received many calls during the shutdowns from members requesting information. We would love to hear from you regarding your experiences, any surprises, and any effective best practices that we may share with the membership. Job done, let’s go to lunch!

The Turbulent 20’s: Ready, Set, Go! By Julie Taylor, CAE, Executive Director, BOMA Oakland/East Bay Closing out 2019 and looking forward to 2020 has me thinking about a different decade altogether—The Roaring 20’s. Filled with jazz bands, flappers, explosive industrial growth, speakeasies and abolition, the 1920s differ so much from the world we live in today as we head into the what many are calling the “Turbulent 20’s.” The last 100 years have transformed how we live, the jobs we hold, what and where we eat, and the collective imagination as to what is possible. Communication and technology changed in ways that no one ever imagined. Like the U.S., associations struggle with the changes that affect our members and their businesses.

Caroline Barber, Assistant Property Manager Cushman & Wakefield/Starwood Portfolio
Assistant Property Manager Caroline Barber brings to her position valuable skills she developed during her hospitality career — appreciating the customer perspective, quick problem-solving and developing relationships with vendors and team members. Barber moved from a career in hospitality to commercial real estate three years ago and is now a part of the management team for Cushman & Wakefield’s Starwood Portfolio in Oakland, consisting of Center 21, 1901 Harrison and the YMCA Garage. “I work closely with our operations team daily to handle tenant relations, on-site vendor teams, tenant improvement projects and capital projects,” says Barber. “As a team, transitioning onto an entirely new property means that we are setting new standards and processes that will create a lasting impact for our client and our tenants. The long-term responsibility of setting it up the right way is exciting. In addition, we recently changed to a new janitorial services company across our portfolio. This was an incredible learning experience, as I was able to create the standards for our buildings and teams and set tenant expectations. Leading a successful project that has a daily impact on our tenant experience, employee happiness and the overall environment of the building has been the highlight of this role so far.” At BOMA OEB, Barber participates in the BOMA Leadership Academy. “This experience has expanded my understanding of the influence BOMA has on our industry,” she observes. “It’s Barber enjoys stand-up paddle also shown me the possibilities of developing our community involvement even more and having boarding on the bay. a significant impact on the communities where we manage our properties.” Outside of work, Barber keeps busy with a variety of interests. “I have just recently started stand-up paddle boarding and am trying to get out on the water more.

I’ve had tremendous success overseeing the ProTech Oakland office for the past five years with the help of my amazing office staff and field personnel, allowing me to build strong lasting relationships with our many clients by providing them with innovative technology and welltrained security personnel. With my own 15 years of experience in Bay Area security services and the expertise of industry leaders such as Sergio Reyes and Sam Houston, the ProTech Oakland office is more than capable of handling any property’s security needs.

Lunch & Learn Explores Green Cleaning Program At a recent BOMA OEB lunch and learn, Able Services presented alongside Building Skills Partnership and Next Play Consulting LLC at Stoneridge Corporate Plaza, covering the success of the Green Janitor Education Program (GJEP) at the site. GJEP was created to bridge the divide between janitors and their impact on the environment. A collaborative program between USGBC-LA, BOMAGLA, SEIU-West and Service Providers, the GJEP provides sustainability education to janitors. The program is funded by service providers and is administered by BSP, which also provides a variety of life-enhancing educational programs such as ESL, computer skills, and advocacy training so janitors and other service workers can help their children attend higher education. Attendees traveled from as far as Riverside to hear about how they can implement a similar program at their facilities. They were also fortunate enough to hear from an onsite day porter about her experiences.
The program, a 30-hour education provided by BSP, is a qualified USGBC program through which janitors are accredited. It provides hands-on energy management and green cleaning training to address Operations and Maintenance (O+M) practices that enable buildings to meet green performance standards, with special focus on resulting energy efficiency. The program addresses energy efficiency, recycling, waste management, water conservation and other sustainable and green cleaning practices. The take-away was simple: the program provided a relatively unseen workforce with an education that connected them to the purpose of why they were cleaning green. The “staff felt appreciated” and “buzzwords became a reality.” It was even said that “the facility is now cleaner than it was before because the cleaning staff is more dedicated.” If you are interested in learning more about the program, contact Christian Valdez of BSP (cvaldez@buildingskills.org) or Sam Shapiro of Able Services (sam.shapiro@ableserve.com).
