The West Valley College Campus Center was renovated with sustainability in mind and a goal of reaching LEED standards in the LEED for Existing Buildings Rating System (EBOM). This rating system 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. LEED for Existing Buildings addresses whole-building cleaning and maintenance issues (including chemical use), recycling programs, exterior maintenance programs, and systems upgrades.

At West Valley College the renovation extended from just the Campus Center to the surrounding natural site as well. In addition to a tour of the building the November 13 AFE tour will include a look at the creek restoration and also an impressive one-megawatt solar array.

The building incorporates water efficiency, energy and atmosphere improvements including natural daylighting, and recycling centers.

Reinhard’s Code Corner #100 Code Classes & Hearings September brought us a few days without a Bay Bridge and a transition to great fall weather.We also conducted a few California Code classes. The California state Fire Marshal endorsed a recent class sponsored by the SF Chapter of ISPE (International Society of Pharmaceutical Engineers). The class was attended by approximately 70 architects, engineers, fire inspectors and building inspectors. The class was interactive with many questions being asked and open dialogs.

This month we have a few good code questions. Remember while only a few questions are published, all questions receive a response. Send your questions to Reinhard.Hanselka @crbusa.com.

Question #1: Our business is a major plating operation related to metal finishing. We have substantial equipment and tools. We have recently been told that the local Fire Department wants to have a detailed review of all of our equipment whenever we make any changes. This could slow us down. Is this correct? Do we have to submit any changes?

Your local jurisdiction is correct. For any piece of equipment or device that uses or stores hazardous materials, it is the responsibility of the Fire Department per the requirements of the Hazardous Materials Chapter of the California Fire Code, Chapter 27 (2010) or Chapter 50 (2013). If the equipment does not utilize hazardous materials, there is no authority for the local Fire Department to permit or even review the tool. Although, seismic permits are always required. A chemical inventory must be submitted with each permit application. I strongly recommend that you schedule a meeting with your local Fire Marshal to clearly define the review and inspection criteria, including review time lines.

Corporate Sponsorships for GROW Guidance - Resources - Opportunity - Work

GROW originated from the Diversity: Mentoring & Scholarship Committee of IFMA Silicon Valley. A public charity (501c3) incorporated in California, GROW provides outreach, scholarships, and mentoring from facility management professionals to youth and young adults from diverse communities. Their capstone program is “Grade School to Graduate.” The mission is to “help our profession grow better by reflecting and sustaining the communities in which we live and work.”

Presently, corporate sponsorships are being sought to attract funding for education and scholarship goals. Please contact Scott Schipper (408-202-5030) at http://groworganization.org/about-grow/ for more information.

Question #2: We have been requested to submit MSDS sheets with any building application. Is this a new requirement?

Yes! The chemistry used in any building or structure in the United States must be declared.

Day with a Facility Professional & Hamilton Chang

by Stan Nakaso, AFE-SV Chapter VP and Student Affairs Chair The Spring 2014 Day with a Facility Professional (DWFP) event will be hosted by Juniper Network on February 28. This event provides students an opportunity to share a day with facility professionals from a variety of industries.

Stan Nakaso, AFE-SV Student Affairs Chair, works at Lockheed Martin as Project Manager. Contact Stan at 408-742-8084 or, stan.nakaso@lmco. com

I had an opportunity to catch up with Hamilton Chang, a Senior at California Maritime Academy majoring in Mechanical Engineering.

Hamilton attended the 2013 DWFP event hosted

by Linkedin at their Mountain View campus. His host professional was Ian Choy of Bloom Energy, alumni of the SJSU and former AFE student chapter President. I asked Hamilton to recall some of his memories about the event. He indicated that “Day with a Facility Professional” provided him an opportunity to meet many facility representatives of varying industries in a short time. He also was able to see the operating equipment and challenges of the facility engineers supporting the Net App network data centers.

As a student facility engineer intern, Hamilton’s summer was extremely busy at the Adobe offices in San Francisco. Hamilton worked with the journeymen service technicians responding to daily customer support calls. He developed a strong appreciation for the physical demands and responsibility of the technicians during his short summer assignment. He learned how fuel cells and sustainable building practices are all integral to maintaining an efficient building. In addition to his activities at Adobe, Hamilton provided bi-weekly activity reports to Mike Strange, AFE Cal Maritime Faculty advisor and will be delivering a summary report of his internship experience.

I’m excited for Hamilton and very pleased he has expanded his professional network with facility colleagues associated AFE. I’ll be looking forward to seeing him and many of his classmates at the 2014 event at Juniper Networks.

Spotlight on a Member

Narsimha Irrinki, P.E., CPE, CHFM Narsimha Irrinki has been a member of AFE Silicon Valley Chapter since 1994. He joined shortly after moving to California after he earned his Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering at South Dakota State University.

At about that time, he challenged himself with the Certified Plant Engineer (CPE) course in Baltimore. “I chose the CPE course because it was the only certification that included eight engineering disciplines in one rigorous course,” he said in an interview at his office at San Mateo Medical Center in early October.

He said his biggest challenge is budgeting for catastrophic failures. “You never know when an equipment failure may occur,” he said. “You can have an excellent maintenance program but the equipment may still fail without any warning.”

Another challenge is staff competency, which he addresses at each staff meeting. He has vendors come and speak about different issues such as fire & life safety, arc-flash protection, underground tank compliance and others. He also educates staff on importance of energy savings.

Critical issues that concern him include environment of care, utilities management, air quality, sustainability programs, water conservation, lighting retrofits, topics related to OSHPD seismic regulations and licensing & accreditation, which, he explained, are critical to healthcare agencies because a hospital’s certification and reimbursement are Originally from India, Narsimha Irrinki has earned tied to these regulations. many titles over the years.

It’s Easy to Join

“A career in facility operations is not just about changing light bulbs,” he said. It encompasses a life cycle of events including planning, design, installation, commissioning, maintenance, operations and repair. Ninety percent of the problems can be avoided if the systems are properly sized and selected during the design phase. The other ten percent of the problems in the field can be avoided by following process of elimination techniques which requires good understanding of the principles of operation and the background on how the integrated systems works.

Contact Membership Chair Steve Woods at steve.woods@amer-tech.com, 510-750-0159.

“Training on the complex integrated systems is not fully taught in schools,” he said. One has to learn these skills sequentially to be prepared for the Facilities Engineering profession. In some cases, you have to adapt along with the changes in the industry. In the end, it is all about customer service.You always have to respond. Every minute is customer service,” he said.
