SUMMARY:Promoting Energy Efficient Lighting Systems
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever been involved in a project where the new LED fixtures have been value engineered out and replaced by retrofit kits\, TLEDs\, fluorescent technology\, or disregarded from the project altogether? \nHas your Networked Lighting Control (NLC) system design been downscaled to a simple wallbox solution? \nAll too often\, new construction and renovation projects undergo value engineering which can lower up-front costs and make the project seem more approachable. Unfortunately\, this practice frequently leads to overspending in post-installation support\, not meeting stakeholder expectations\, decreasing quality\, and significant energy savings and non-energy benefits value being left on the table. \nWhile industry actors have made significant investments in outreach\, education\, and incentive programs to promote appropriate design adoption\, significant barriers still exist. This class will delve into these barriers as well as provide a set of tools\, techniques\, to help Lighting Practitioners ensure the most appropriate design highlighting quality and comfort is implemented in their projects. These tools and techniques will include: \n\nLighting Audit\nEfficient Financial Statements\nEnergy and non-Energy Benefits\nQualifying Questions\nUse Cases\nDesign Options with Estimates\nElevator Sales Pitch\n\nWho Should Attend\nThis workshop is suitable for lighting practitioners\, including designers\, contractors\, building operators\, architects\, engineers\, sales representatives\, as well as utility staff. \nLearning Goals \n\nEvaluate “good\, better\, best” approaches\, and how to navigate between them\nAnalyze energy savings and non-energy technological value that LEDs and NLCs can provide\nUnderstand techniques\, tools\, and resources on how to advance energy efficiency projects\nExplore use cases that highlight overspending resources post-completion\, and how appropriate design execution mitigates this risk

SUMMARY:Benefits of Energy and Domestic Water Submetering
DESCRIPTION:One of the top priorities of building owners and operators is the need for more efficient and accurate BTU metering. \nHaving good and reliable information can help reduce the amount of energy used\, by operating more efficiently. This can help reduce operational costs and recover revenue from inaccurate billing. \nSince the early 1980’s ultrasonic clamp-on Flow meters have been utilized for BTU metering and submetering. Some advantages of clamp-on meters are; retrofit capability—no shutdown required\, all in one BTU meter\, low flow sensitivity for measuring off peak flows\, and 1% accuracy. \nIn this presentation we will cover clamp-on BTU metering technology\, features\, accuracy\, and discuss the benefits of submetering in the energy industry.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Codes & Standards
DESCRIPTION:There can be a dizzying array of influences on any lighting project. Beyond design and budget constraints\, there are a wide range of codes and standards that will affect the ultimate selection of lighting fixtures and controls. \nThis class will look not only at current Energy Codes\, but will see how LEED\, Well Building\, NFPA\, IES and others\, all influence the lighting design process. When understood and used creatively these codes and standards can provide a framework toward an energy efficient and sustainable design. \nLearning Goals \nAt the end of the class\, participants will: \n\nIdentify the major aspects of Energy Code Lighting Power Allowances.\nKnow the key differences between interior and exterior spaces.\nIdentify the primary sections of the Energy Code Controls Requirements.\nUnderstand the Additional Energy Code Options.\nSee how other Codes\, Standards\, and Recommendations fit into a comprehensive design process.

SUMMARY:Audit & Retrofit Techniques
DESCRIPTION:The advent of LED lighting has caused a seismic shift in the lighting industry\, creating a renewed interest in how to best upgrade the lighting in existing buildings. One of the best places to start is to do an inventory of what your current lighting system is and what its strengths and weaknesses are. This will enable you to identify where to put most of your efforts. \nOnce the audit is evaluated\, it is time to start considering the most appropriate lighting options. Whether to retrofit\, replace\, or redesign are serious decisions to make\, and they will have implication on the costs\, energy savings\, and productivity of the resulting lighting system. No one approach is right for every project. If the project is dependent on utility participation\, there may be other factors to consider as well. \nAttendees of this class will gain access to the following tools to assist them on a variety of lighting upgrades projects. \n\nHow to evaluate your existing lighting system.\nKnowing what areas are most important to focus on.\nUnderstanding when to retrofit the existing fixtures\, and when they should be replaced.\nLearning the opportunities to add controls to the lighting project.\nHow to leverage utility incentives to maximize your savings.

SUMMARY:Resilient Buildings in a Time of COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:Professor Victoria Hardy\, RCFM\, will be hosting this webinar on how building and facilities managers can strengthen their response to COVID-19. What are others in the field doing to make their buildings safer and more useful during this time? How can you address this change and prepare for other emergencies before they happen? \nModerator:\nVictoria Hardy\, RCFM\, ASHRAE Associate\, Consultant and Adjunct Faculty\, B.A.S. Sustainable Building Science Technology \nPanelists and SBST alumni:\n– Amy Cho\, Critical Environment Program Manager\, Puget Sound Datacenter\n– Patrick Hart\, Executive Director\, National Association of Church Facilities Managers\n– Kevin Kajita\, CHFM. Director of Support Services at Evergreen Hospital\n– Casey Lawrence\, Director of Plant Engineering\, Pacific Research Labs \nResilient buildings are those able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions. In today’s world\, that means sanitizing with new cleaning schedules and a fresh approach to HVAC management\, filters\, air quality\, humidity control\, and disinfectant. \nMany organizations are planning workplace reorganizations\, with more remote access and social distancing in the office. Then there are the energy and transportation implications of the shutdown. \nHost Professor Hardy is an expert in facilities management. Hardy developed the first Human and Environmental Factors Competency Guidelines for the International Facility Management Association and served as principal author on the Facility Management Commissioning Module for the Project Resource Manual from the Construction Specifications Institute. \nCome hear these speakers share their perspective about how COVID-19 is changing building operations\, finance\, and workplace health and safety.

SUMMARY:New Day\, New Way:  Workplace Wellness in a Post-Covid World
DESCRIPTION:Our goal is to present information that is in-time with what our clients are experiencing in Seattle and the greater region. As we enter the phase of surveying employees for office reentry interest\, needs and wants\, companies are looking to create and communicate a physical and emotional wellness plan for when the offices open\, and health and wellness planning moving forward with COVID in mind. \nThe presenters will be Betsy Leto of Western Office\, who recently participated in Corenet’s global hackathon\, presenting her hackathon group’s key findings focused on guiding principles for implementing new wellness strategies post Covid-19. In tandem with this\, Jennifer Olson of KGO asks “What will the role of the office be in a post Covid-19 world?”. This will provide IFMA members with the tools to advance workplace wellbeing through actions as community builders and stewards of inclusion\, creating a holistic experience centered on wellness.

SUMMARY:Access Control 2020: The State of the Industry
DESCRIPTION:A new study of security directors\, managers\, and consultants finds access control infrastructure is deteriorating\, as is the confidence that the access control systems in place are up for the job. These findings come from a survey of ASIS International members and customers on access control technology and its use. The study underscores the complexities of managing physical security at a time when the technological sophistication of bad actors and the potential costs of security vulnerabilities are rapidly increasing.
