Welcome Cynthia Ramos

The theme for this year’s conference is Houston 2011: Rethinking the Future. We have worked diligently for months to develop an exciting and informative agenda that will include educational sessions on current sustainability efforts to include recycling and energy conservation, project delivery and managing facilities services in a struggling economy. Tours of the university campus will also be offered which showcase the dramatic and ongoing construction being done, including the installation of the METRO light rail line, Power Plant renovations and the UH Community Garden. While you are here, do not miss the opportunity to meet and talk to our business partners to learn more about their products, services and latest technology. There is also the opportunity to attend the APPA Supervisor’s Toolkit training. A golf tournament is on tap for Sunday, as well as a lively evening of food and fun at downtown Houston’s historic Magnolia Ballroom. We encourage you to share your ideas and experiences with your fellow peers throughout the three-day event. Our confidence is high, knowing that this year’s conference will prove to be very productive and a unique experience for all!

comprises Facilities Management and Facilities Planning and Construction in which both areas work collaboratively to provide facilities services to campus, and construction and renovation to system campuses, respectively. Facilities Management (FM) is charged with maintaining the UH campus and providing service and repairs in the areas of utilities, carpentry, painting, solid waste and recycling, custodial, fleet, lock shop, landscape and grounds. FM also manages minor campus renovations and maintenance projects under $1M. Facilities, Planning and Construction (FPC) oversees all major capital construction including new construction, additions and renovation projects over $1M for system campuses. FPC also offers programming, design, planning and programming, and facilities space information.

Speakers

Our mission here at the university is to provide responsible and quality stewardship for the long term preservation and growth of the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physical assets through unified delivery of planned work, while remaining cost effective and competitive. Plant Operations strives to follow our PRITAS core values: Professionalism, Respect, Integrity, Teamwork, Accountability and Service, within each project, facilities service or daily work request we complete and/or maintain. We are able to accomplish this through our highly dedicated technical and skilled staff whom we consider our most valuable assets, as well as by continuously looking for ways to improve our services.

Currently, Plant Operations is planning for and working on implementation of new programs and projects that will service the campus and customer needs more efficiently as well as streamline our processes and facilities services. Some of these programs include, but are not limited to:

Building Coordinator Program

A university-wide program that will provide one liaison for each campus building to communicate and coordinate with Plant operations in all areas of facilities-related matters, from custodial work requests to building renovation projects.

FAMIS

A university-wide integrated workplace management system utilized for facilities management will enable the implementation of on-demand service requests, scheduled maintenance, and asset and inventory management as well as space management.

Facilities Condition Assessment

A high level assessment of campus buildings and their current condition which will lay the framework for the development of a 20 year capital plan to be used to deliver planned maintenance projects effectively.

Project Delivery

A program that will implement processes and procedures to serve as â&#x20AC;&#x153;roadmapsâ&#x20AC;? for successful cost, schedule, quality performance, delivery and close out of each project.

Is Campus Master Planning Useful? Monday 7:30–8:40am, Imperial West, 3rd Floor

Gregory Janks Principal Sasaki Associates

The challenges facing colleges and universities are now more complex than ever: a sustainability imperative, diminishing access to traditional funding sources, an ageing physical plant comprised of post-Sputnik facilities reaching a period of major renewal, increasing demands for collaboration between the disciplines creating ever-shifting facility requirements, powerful competitive market forces. More. Now. Faster. With Less. The way we’ve always done things no longer suffices. We have to rethink the future; we have to reinvent the campus master plan. We must become agile; we must show return on investment. The future isn’t about static plans, it is about dynamic processes. Processes that operationalize the strategic vision. Master planning is change management. As such, it must be rational. Campuses are inherently political, but we must put the facts on the table. We must provide a coherent framework for decision making—a difficult undertaking, because we have too much data and too little information. This requires an analysis function which connects strategic mission and academic planning with financial and physical planning. Because, ultimately, the goal is implementation. Thinking implementation and project delivery from the start gives rise to a very different kind of planning process. The goal for our conversation, using The One Ohio State University Framework Plan as a case study, is to define the campus master plan of the future.

‘Greening’ Buildings: Modern Strategies for Building Enclosure Repair, Maintenance, and Sustainability

How to Measure, Assess, and Lead Your Facilities Operations to Greatness

Monday 9:00–10:00am, Regency Ballroom, 2nd Floor Tuesday 3:00–4:00pm, Regency Ballroom, 2nd Floor

Monday 9:00–10:00am, Arboretum III/IV, 2nd Floor Tuesday 3:00–4:00pm, Arboretum III/IV, 2nd Floor

A large percentage of buildings and multi-facility institutions were built in the 1940s–1970s era during a time when new and untested building systems were introduced. The end result was structures that were built with an intermeshing of old-age and newer building enclosure systems that were often the cause of water leaks, air infiltration, and high energy costs. The current economic climate and the global trend towards the reduction and more efficient use of energy supplies are forcing building owners to reevaluate the traditional strategies towards the maintenance of structures. This current atmosphere of energy efficiency requirements warrant the need for facility administrators to understand the modern strategies for building enclosure repair, maintenance, and sustainability. This presentation will discuss: The current trends and emerging issues in green buildings as it relates to repair, restoration, and maintenance The impact of current energy standards on renovation projects in metropolitan Texas cities Typical issues with air barriers and other building enclosure components Non-destructive techniques involved with building enclosure investigations Energy modeling and simulation of buildings for renovation projects Potential cost savings that may be realized with air barrier upgrades Cool and green roofing construction Cost-savings associated with the upgrading or retrofitting of existing windows Case studies of previous projects will also be presented to portray the viability of strategies and long-term advantages for ‘greening’ buildings.

This session offers a no-nonsense, pragmatic look at facilities performance measure systems: How they work; What they accomplish; How successful facilities managers use performance and evaluation data to identify needed resources and executive positive change at their educational institutions. This session will utilize case studies, coupled with practical guidance from experts on how to effectively coordinate facilities performance measurement using the APPA Facilities Performance Indicators (FPI) program. Questions answered by this session include: Separating the “hype” from reality: What will performance assessments and facilities management evaluations do and not do for your institution? What are the essential performance questions that every facilities manager should seek answers to? What key criteria should be used in assessing the overall structure, function and performance of your facilities department? How do you leverage data findings to lead and execute change that is meaningful and lasting at your institution? What tools and systems are most effective in communicating findings to key campus administrators?

Speakers

Landscape Architect Clark Condon Associates

Quality of campus life is often linked to the outside environment. Beautiful landscapes are a wonderful amenity that most institutions respect. However, implementing a sustainable landscape and grounds program is a must. This presentation will focus on defining what sustainability means for campus landscapes and how best to achieve these initiatives. We will review broad ideas of sustainability and discuss specific principles of organic landscaping. First, we will consider the overview of sustainability in the landscape environment such as reduction of carbon footprint, carbon sequestering, water conservation, using organics, creating a healthier environment and reducing waste. Using financial data, we will also demonstrate that sustainability has many economical benefits. The basic principles of organic landscaping will be explored. The building block of the organic landscape is soil. History shows that the very essence of human existence and quality of life can be intricately tied to how we treat our soils. The health and life of the soil, the beneficial bacteria and fungi in the soil, has a direct affect on the plants it supports. Understanding soils and organic landscape principles will help to reduce the use of pesticides, herbicides and high-salt synthetic fertilizers.

Willa Kuh Senior Associate Sasaki Associates

Energy is one of the largest financial obligations at most every U.S. college and university. Projections are that energy prices will continue to grow at a relentless pace. Still, many higher education institutions are without a strategy to limit these costs. Ms. Kuh will speak to the challenges facing physical plant administrators as they strive to ensure the reliability of their existing system while transitioning to a portfolio of investments and activity that will curb greenhouse gas emissions and lower energy demand. She will describe the need for, and suggest means of, engaging university executive level leaders, campus planners and architects, development officers, faculty and students in a process of strategic energy planning. She will describe interesting approaches that colleges and universities have committed to in their sustainability plans and Climate Action Plans and address the critical importance of leadership level involvement of physical plant administrators in these planning processes.

Technology continues to play a vital role in all aspects of our lives and daily business operations. The good news is that the plumbing industry has not been left out; we continue to see more and more technological advancements in all areas of plumbing. From PEX and waterless urinals, to other green plumbing technologies. One area that is experiencing an overwhelming acceptance and subsequent growth is In Place Pipe Restoration, whether for portable plumbing systems, chill water systems or sanitary drain lines, storm drain lines, etc. The ACE DURAFLo® epoxy barrier coating process and the Perma-Liner™ CuredIn-Place Pipe liner technology are exceptional technologies for restoring old deteriorated or poor performing pipe plumbing systems. The ACE DURAFLo® process can restore plumbing systems that are plagued with pinhole leaks, corrosion, rusty water or low water pressure. Best of all, it is economical, clean, fast, and does not require residents to move out during the pipe restoration process. The ACE DURAFLo® epoxy barrier coating process is the only process approved by the ICC-ES, (International Code Councilevaluation services). It also has IAPMO certification, NSF certification standard 61 and UPC, IPC and IRC listing. The Perma-Liner™ Cured-In-Place Pipe liner technology can rehabilitate old deteriorated sanitary, storm or roof drain systems with the need to excavate, trench or perform wall demolition. Today, these pipes can be rehabilitated in place and will have additional structural strength equivalent to schedule 40 PVC and improved flow characteristics. Speaker Bios: Vic Caso is a graduate of The University of Texas at Austin. He has more than 25 years of marketing and sales experience in analytical scientific instrumentation and plumbing technologies.

President & CEO Sightlines

Texas A&M, like many large public research universities has experienced significant growth in its facilities over the last 25 years. This growth and increase in campus complexity has focused resources on core academic issues rather than the needs of an aging campus physical plant. Many building systems and components were routinely failing to give basic services. The Physical Plant Department was eroded by the combination of reduced funding, an operating organization that has not kept pace with growing campus demands, and the inability to influence capital investment decisions. Poor performance, frustrated customers, and a large and growing backlog of critical repair issues created an environment of doubt and uncertainty at the campus. Texas A&M worked to define the areas of improvement and selected the documentation of the facilities backlog needs as the highest priority for action. Although a comprehensive study was completed, it did not result in a stronger awareness of campus needs, greater funding, nor was confidence restored by the recommendations. New operating leadership realized that a narrow technical case for change actually hurt their chances for success. The university changed its strategy and built a broader case for change that targeted increasing credibility, constituency, and confidence of the faculty, staff and University Administration. This comprehensive strategy built a case for changing the operations organization, modifying campus processes that increased funding, and created incentives to support and monitor change. This roundtable discussion will tell the Texas A&M story. Rod Weis, AVP Physical Plant, and David Kadamus, President of Sightlines, will discuss their experience, the keys to the significant new funding for campus facilities, and the institutional impact on both facilities organization and the campus’ perspective that their work has accomplished.

Studies indicate we aren’t born leaders—it’s a learned skill. But what does it take? The University of Texas at Austin has developed a leader development program for employees who aspire to be leaders. This leadership program, in its eighth year, provides training and leadership experiences to give an inside view of what’s involved in being an effective leader. This succession planning tool can be adapted to your own campus as we address organizational change management.

Speaker Bios:

As founder of Sightlines, LLC, David Kadamus developed the Return On Physical Assets (ROPASM) Process based on his 30 years of experience in the fields of finance and facilities management. Through regular collaboration with institutional leaders, the ROPASM Process continues to evolve and expand to address the increased needs of the institutions Sightlines serves. One recent addition to the ROPASM Process is the introduction of the Net Asset Value (NAV) forecasting model that has proven successful in illustrating the impact of budget decisions, capital allocations and the addition/renovation of space on the value of physical assets. Kadamus is actively involved with several prominent higher education consortia including Five Colleges, Inc., The Big 10, The Boston Consortia, Associated New American Colleges (ANAC), Associated Colleges of the Twin Cities (ACTC), and the Pacific Consortium of West Coast Small College Business Officers (PAC-CON). Kadamus received his B.A. degree from Hobart College and his M.B.A. from the Rochester Institute of Technology. Rodney E. Weis currently serves as the Executive Director for Facilities Services at Texas A&M University in College Station. Texas. Prior to this appointment, he led the university’s Transportation Services Department for eight years. Before coming to Texas A&M he served as Director of Parking and Transportation Services at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia, and the Director of Campus Parking and Associate Director for Project Planning and Facilities Management at the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign. In addition, he previously worked as operations director for the Lexington Kentucky Transit Authority and the Ames Transit Agency in Ames, Iowa. Weis earned a B.S. degree in community and regional planning from Iowa State University and an M.B.A. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Disaster Preparedness/Recovery—A terrible oversight can occur in the hurricane, hail, tornado, and microburst claims if internal moisture problems are ignored. Awards for physical damage are band-aids which hide devastation caused by wind driven rain. Left inside the building moisture works like a cancer destroying the building from the inside out. Recouping/Saving millions and in the case of University of Houston $26.3 Million vs. the original $4 Million offer for Hurricane IKE Damage. Other ICC clients who have used us for disaster recovery include UTMB and Houston Community College. Other disaster risk management issues could include Energy conservation, structural damage, content damage, lost productivity and the mitigation of punitive awards for slips and falls. Recovery & Sustainability—Do more with less. Strategic changes are necessary in a tough economy. Prioritize roofs from best to worst with real science based on a new tool and technology in addition to educated guesses, age and leak reports. New technology can enable the reallocation of hundreds of thousands and into the millions of dollars by recommending repair instead of total replacement, or in the alternative, justifying total replacement when warranted. 50% of the roofs scheduled for replacement that ICC inspects are candidates for repair instead of replacement. In several instances, this discovery has resulted in the reallocation of tens of millions of dollars. Speaker Bios: Valerie Patterson received her training at Rollins College and has over 30 years of business experience. She has extensive knowledge in the fields of architecture, engineering, construction and building industries.

As budgets tighten, community college business officers and facilities directors need objective, predictive planning tools to justify yearly budgets for regular and deferred maintenance. Long-term planning also helps avoid unexpected expenses from system failures. Learn about the effects of deferred maintenance, the benefits of the facility assessment process, and how one community college used a facilities assessment tool to plan for maintenance expenses, develop more accurate forecasting, make high impact operational decisions, and more effectively inform the board about facilities needs. As a result of participating in this session, attendees will: Understand the scope of the issue of deferred maintenance, the financial and operational pitfalls of ignoring the problem, and the need for a simple system to deal with deferred maintenance. Understand the importance of a Facility Assessment in determining the current condition and predicting the future condition of the college campus. Learn how other colleges and universities have applied this process to evaluate facility conditions, create maintenance plans, and determine the best course of action for future expenditures.
