From the President’s Desk

Getting Engaged

By Raffy Espiritu, President, AFE Silicon Valley

Raffy Espiritu, AFE Silicon Valley Chapter President, is also President and CEO of the Impec Group in Santa Clara, 408-3309350, respiritu@ impecgroup.com

I can think of no more fitting theme than “Getting Engaged” to guide the mission for the New Year for the AFE. In this new year we need to take advantage of the rising consumer confidence, lowering of unemployment, abundance of surplus investment income, increasing demands on the use of technology and need for connections to find and be found. I vet on the side of this theme and these promising indicators for 2013 rather than the damning gloomy sides of things. After all, we create the wins and battle the losses and this can only happen by “getting engaged”, not staying on the sidelines.

It was no mystery then, that we had two of the leaders in the FM community open the chapter’s kick off meeting with a discussion around this theme at the center of the LinkedIn campus in Mountain View. Cisco’s Candice Balobeck’s talk about new workplace strategies showing that an engaged worker is happier, healthier and more productive was a great opener. Using Cisco’s experience as a back drop, Candice pointed out how

technology is changing the way we live, work, play and learn. In effect, policies, technology and the environment helped define workplace strategy and workplace performance. Elements of effectiveness, engagement, efficiency and environment were key influencers to workplace performance. It is amazing to note that the changing landscape had impacted on building management systems from lighting, HVAC maintenance, energy management, security and exterior maintenance just to mention a few. The remarkable insight is that an engaged worker can help increase the benefits of the new workplace strategies.

Adony Beniares, CFM, Senior Facility Manager of LinkedIn, on the other hand, supported similar concepts but looking at it from the point of view of social media, he showed how it connects the world’s facilities professionals to make them more productive and successful. His presentation focused on three key concepts of Linkedin: “Identity, Insights and Everywhere” which captured what social media can do to enhance one’s value to the FM community but

January 2013 the act of will emanates from the user lest the value of social media dissipates.

In the same vein, the Silicon Valley Chapter of AFE is on a crusade to enhance the value of the facility profession through engagement by underscoring the critical role that it plays in promoting the quality of life, productivity and operational excellence in the built environment.

More specifically, AFE brings the best contribution to the facility engineering and operations and maintenance piece of the built environment that all other facility organizations like IFMA and BOMA can only benefit from.

It is in this light that I enjoin my colleagues in the facility profession to be more engaged in the affairs of AFE so you can be counted in this effort to create a better built environment.

The main thrusts for 2013 will be expanded membership, enhanced educational programs, stronger financial base, closer collaboration with IFMA, BOMA, CREW and CoreNet which we hope will result in a happier, healthier and more productive facility professional.

Sincerely, Raffy Espiritu, President AFE Silicon Valley Chapter 408-330-9350

Linkedin to Host Day with a Facilities Professional, May 3 Adony Beniares, Senior Facility Manager for LinkedIn offered to host this year’s “Day with a Facilities Professional.”

Hosts for the 2013 event are needed. If you can spend half a day with a student, there are benefits for you too!

This was a one of the great outcomes of the eventful “kick-off” meeting held at the Linkedin campus in Mountain View on January 9, attended by close to a hundred facility professionals in Silicon Valley.

Facility managers from Apple Computer, Maxim, Network Appliance, Santa Clara University, Synergis just to mention a few and representatives from IFMA, BOMA and CREW attended the event.

•

AFE Silicon Valley’s Stan Nakaso and Melissa Mason are spearheading the 51st annual DWFP program and are targeting 70 students in attendance with an equal number of FM hosts. The committee is meeting in the next two weeks to finalize the details of the plan.

Day with a Facilities Professional starts with registration and lunch. After lunch, the students follow their hosts back to the host’s workplace.Some hosts arrange tours, meetings with their piers, or trips to job sites, and more. At 5 pm, the hosts and students return for a dinner program.

This signature event matches professionals with students for a full day of job shadowing. Students get a chance to see their professional host’s work place, understand the challenges of the job, and get detailed answers to their questions from working professionals.

• •

Meet and screen potential interns or employee candidates Give back to higher education by providing a positive experience for students to gain exposure to the “working world” Network with other professional hosts from various segments of the facilities industry

More information on the 2013 Day With a Facilities Professional will be published at the Chapter’s website, www.AFE39.org and in future newsletters. For now, consider the opportunity to make a difference in a student’s future career!

Reinhard’s Code Corner #92 NFPA 704 – Changes & Eliminations Welcome to the New Year. I hope the year 2012 was successful for all and that 2013 brings you health and happiness.

NOW the proposal is, that it all will change and the numbering system will actually be reversed.

Let’s see what happens.

We are entering a dangerous new path in chemical communication. The good old MSDS are being eliminated and replaced with data sheets. These sheets will still not be definitive.

Reinhard Hanselka, PE, REA of MW Group We have also relied on good old NFPA 704 rhanselka@aol.com numbers for the last 40 years to determine See the video of Reinbase hazards and in a general manner clashard’s Code Presentation sify any and all chemistry. The process piping to the AFE codes, mechanical codes and OSHA training www.BukayMedia.com/ have relied on these standards for all occuvideos/AFE/hanselka/ pancies, process and building issues.

This is currently under CUPA Board review.

These changes to the new OSHA proposed system are imminent. I will keep you all posted.

hanselka.htm

The many placards that have seen and used throughout daily life are reflective of the NFPA 704 numbers: 0 for no hazard, 1 for concern, 2 for short term effect, 3 for high hazard potential and 4 for serious or lethal hazard. The blue diamond was for health hazards, red for flammable hazard, yellow for reactivity and white for special hazard.

Question #1: We have a small operation in the East Bay. As the Director of Facilities, it is my responsibility for all compliance issues. Our operation has been classified as an F-1 Occupancy and properly permitted as such. I have found that there are times when, for a few days, we are over the allowable quantity of oxidizing gases in our building. This occurs when we get a new delivery. Any suggestions?

The key to keeping you legal and in-compliance is rather simple. You are allowed to be within 10 percent of your stated levels of chemicals. This is part of the ordinance adoption in yours and most cities. Gas cylinders are counted as full at all times if you can demonstrate the actual content, by means of pressure or mass, you may be just fine as you are. Since you are an F Occupancy, another possibility is to create a separate control area, which allows you to double chemistry.

Question #2: We have emergency lights in our facility in critical areas such as our Assembly Occupancies and in Egress corridors. Our question is how long do they need to operate? How much battery backup do we need? We have no emergency generator. We were told one is not required. Any thoughts or suggestions?

The law is very clear in your case. You have no H Occupancies nor are you a “high rise occupancy”.

The only requirement you have is for egress lighting. The legal guidance for this is found in NFPA 110, where it is stated that the emergency lighting must remain viable and provide the appropriate illumination for 120 minutes. The logic for this duration is that it is more than sufficient time for all employees to safely egress the occupancy.

If you have a question on the code, send it to: Reinhard Hanselka, PE, REA MW Group rhanselka@aol.com PO Box 361656, Milpitas, CA 95036

Kicking off the New Year by Getting Engaged!

Linkedin Senior Facility Manager Andony Benaires, CFM explained How Facility Professionals can Connect Better at AFE Silicon Valley Chapter’s January 9 Kick off event at Linkedin in Mountain View.

Adony said Linkedin exists to make its 200 million members more productive in three ways: Identify: Allows people to share their job experience and their connections Insights: News and interests branded to your personal profile Everywhere: Links your outside and personal resources so you can access them anywhere at any time.

When it comes to Commercial HVAC, Candice Balobeck, CFM, LEED Green Associate, Solutions Design Manager and Workplace Strategist at Cisco Systems discussed how Cisco manages its 500 buildings in 90 countries for its 63,000 employees.

She explained how the company is putting one third more people into its existing facilities. “Work is not a place anymore,” she said. “It is really what you do.”

With lively presentations and a very engaging networking session, the AFE meeting at Linkedin on January 9 was a big success as a kick off for the new year. Almost 100 facility professionals from some of the Valley’s biggest and fastest growing companies attended including Apple, Lockheed Martin, Pacific Coast Trane, Maxim Integrated, Technical Builders, Western Allied Mechanical and more.

AFE SV President Raffy Espiritu wore two hats, one as Emcee and the other as the sponsor of the event for his company, Impec Group. Raffy shared his company’s new video that showcased services in three areas: facilities management; operations and maintenance; and specialty services.To see the video, visit, impecgroup.com.

Opportunities to sponsor other AFE SV events are available now. See the meeting schedule on page 15 and contact the chapter’s Marketing Chair, Michael McCormick at 510-3536030 or michaelm@dclandscaping.com.

Feb. Tour of San Jose International Airport

continued from page 2

For the month of February, BOMA and AFE will be the joint sponsors of a facility tour of the San Jose Airport. BOMA Executive Director Sharon Fredlund, AFE Silicon Valley President Raffy Espiritu and Melissa Mason, AFE Programs Chair met with Patrick Crowley of the San Jose International Airport on January

16 to plan the details of the facility tour. Details of the tour will be published at www.AFE39.org by the end of the week.

Patrick Crowley will give an overview of the San Jose Airport facility highlighting its key systems that would be of interest to property and facility

managers and facility engineers.

A special tour will complement an overview of the facility that gives the participants an inside look of what makes the airport run efficiently and show as a world class airport to the public it serves.

AFE SV Unveils New Member Process In an effort to make the AFE Silicon Valley Chapter a real resource for facility professionals, AFE President Raffy Espirtu and Immediate Past President Bob Adamo announced an approval process for new associate/vendor members.

no storage service companies and no safety and security vendors,” he said. The possibilities are almost unlimited!”

The idea is to limit the number of vendor members in each Industry to provide a variety of trusted professionals for facility professionals. So rather than having too many service providers for each category of facility services, the chapter will have a limit of four.

To limit over-zealous sales at AFE meetings and events, the board also voted to require members to agree to a Code of Conduct, which is based on respect and professionalism when interacting with other members.

“No one likes to be hounded, the code of ethics will establish a boundary and pave the way to build lasting relationships between customers and vendors,” said Raffy Espiritu.

Some may think this new concept will limit membership, but it’s really the opposite, according to Steve Woods, AFE SV Membership Chair. “While we may have many general contractors, we have no industrial hygienists,

Another point of differentiation with other facility organizations, AFE will put more emphasis on strengthening the base of facility managers and engineers in the membership rolls of the organization. This mandate is borne

out of the need to regulate the predominance of vendors in events where facility managers and engineers are overwhelmed by over solicitous vendors making them hesitant to participate in education and networking events.

Later this year, the board is considering publishing a digital and hard copy directory that will allow all members to include a paragraph on their background, and explain their products and services. We feel our vendor directory will serve as an important resource guide for our AFE facility professionals.
