From the President’s Desk

Getting EngagedBy Raffy Espiritu, President, AFE Silicon Valley

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 ad-vantage of the rising consumer confidence, lowering of unem-ployment, abundance of surplus investment income, increasing demands on the use of technol-ogy 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 discus-sion around this theme at the center of the LinkedIn campus in Mountain View. Cisco’s Can-dice Balobeck’s talk about new workplace strategies showing that an engaged worker is hap-pier, healthier and more produc-tive 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 work-place performance. Elements of effectiveness, engagement, ef-ficiency and environment were key influencers to workplace performance. It is amazing to note that the changing land-scape had impacted on build-ing management systems from lighting, HVAC maintenance, en-ergy management, security and exterior maintenance just to mention a few. The remarkable insight is that an engaged work-er can help increase the benefits of the new workplace strategies. Adony Beniares, CFM, Senior Facility Manager of LinkedIn, on the other hand, supported simi-lar concepts but looking at it from the point of view of social media, he showed how it con-nects the world’s facilities pro-fessionals to make them more productive and successful. His presentation focused on three key concepts of Linkedin: “Iden-tity, Insights and Everywhere” which captured what social media can do to enhance one’s value to the FM community but

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

In the same vein, the Silicon Val-ley Chapter of AFE is on a cru-sade to enhance the value of the facility profession through en-gagement by underscoring the critical role that it plays in pro-moting the quality of life, pro-ductivity and operational excel-lence 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 facil-ity organizations like IFMA and BOMA can only benefit from.

It is in this light that I enjoin my colleagues in the facility pro-fession 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, en-hanced educational programs, stronger financial base, clos-er collaboration with IFMA, BOMA, CREW and CoreNet which we hope will result in a happier, healthier and more pro-ductive facility professional.

Sincerely,

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

Raffy Espiritu, AFE Silicon Valley Chapter President, is also President and CEO of the Impec Group in Santa Clara, 408-330-9350, [email protected]

Facility Tour of the San Jose International Airport on Feb. 13One of the goals of AFE Silicon Valley for this year is a new emphasis on alliance building with other facility organizations like BOMA and IFMA.

AFE Silicon Valley chapter President Raffy Espiritu noted, “there is so much to be realized in terms of value for members of these organizations to engage in joint projects and events as the needs of the members are being addressed from various

aspects of the built environment. AFE provides a unique contribution to every facility professional as it focuses more of the maintenance and op-erations aspect of facilities, something that is at the heart of facility and property management. In this regard, the chapter will work collaboratively with IFMA and BOMA in sharing information on how the members of the various organizations can participate in the education and networking

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

This was a one of the great outcomes of the event-ful “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, Syner-gis just to mention a few and representatives from IFMA, BOMA and CREW attended the event.

AFE Silicon Valley’s Stan Nakaso and Melissa Ma-son are spearheading the 51st annual DWFP pro-gram and are targeting 70 students in attendance with an equal number of FM hosts. The commit-tee is meeting in the next two weeks to finalize the details of the plan.

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.

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

• Meet and screen potential interns or em-ployee candidates

• Give back to higher education by provid-ing a positive experience for students to gain exposure to the “working world”

• Network with other professional hosts from various segments of the facilities in-dustry

Day with a Facilities Professional starts with registration and lunch. After lunch, the stu-dents 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.

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

Reinhard’s Code Corner #92

NFPA 704 – Changes & EliminationsWelcome to the New Year. I hope the year 2012 was successful for all and that 2013 brings you health and happiness.

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. We have also relied on good old NFPA 704 numbers for the last 40 years to determine base hazards and in a general manner clas-sify any and all chemistry. The process piping codes, mechanical codes and OSHA training have relied on these standards for all occu-pancies, process and building issues.

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.

NOW the proposal is, that it all will change and the numbering system will actually be reversed. Let’s see what happens.

This is currently under CUPA Board review. These changes to the new OSHA proposed sys-tem are imminent. I will keep you all posted.

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 permit-ted 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 con-tent, 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 sugges-tions?

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 light-ing. 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:

Kicking off the New Year by Getting Engaged!

Linkedin Senior Facility Manager Andony Benaires, CFM explained How Facility Profession-als 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 mem-bers more produc-tive in three ways:Identify: Allows peo-ple to share their job experience and their connections

Candice Balobeck, CFM, LEED Green Associate, Solutions Design Man-ager 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 facil-ity professionals from some of the Valley’s biggest and fast-est 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 Em-cee and the other as the sponsor of the event for his com-pany, Impec Group. Raffy shared his company’s new video that showcased services in three areas: facilities manage-ment; 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 510-353-6030 or [email protected].

Link between College and ProfessionalsStan Nakaso, Chair of the AFE Silicon Valley Chapter Col-lege/Professional Relations, an-nounced that Terrence Garvey has agreed to join him as co-chair for 2013.

Terrence agreed to help increase the awareness of the Facility En-gineering profession with local college students by coordinat-ing professional speakers, facility site visits, and planning activities for the AFE’s annual Day with a Facility Professional event in the Spring.

Terrence is a San Jose State alumnus who had previously been a student chapter mem-ber of AFE. Now he is an Engi-neering Consultant who must share his available free time as an active Coast Guard reservist.

From his time away from tradi-tional building facility engineer-ing, Terrence is able to share many anecdotal stories with the students about how the role of a Facility Engineer can easily transition to a variety of indus-tries and situations.

Terrence and Stan are teaming up this year to enhance the in-terest in Facility Engineering and the AFE at San Jose State and Santa Clara Universities, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and West Valley College in Saratoga. In addition to being active planning Day with a Facility Professional on March 1, their goals for the new year include:

1. Planning for the AFE’s “Eve-ning with Industry” event, scheduled for the fall, 2013

2. Explore options to expand the AFE budget to provide a scholarship for one or more students to attend the AFE’s national conference

3. Increase the value of Facility Engineering to students by soliciting more professional engagement

4. Obtain the Dean of Engi-neering endorsement of Fa-cility engineering

“Our overall goal is to encour-age more students to consider this area of expertise upon graduation,” said Stan.

The video covers highlights from the Chapter’s activities in 2012, including thanking board members, sponsors, and hosts, showcasing the chapter’s awards and accomplish-ments.

Interviews with students who participated in Day with a Facilities Professional 2012 focus on the what students learned from spending a day job shadowing facility profes-sionals in the Silicon Valley.

Chapter events are also part of the production, includ-ing the passing of the President’s responsibilities. Raffy Espirtu, 2013 Chapter President shares a toast with Bob Adamo, AFE Silicon Valley President 2011-2012.

For the month of February, BOMA and AFE will be the joint sponsors of a facility tour of the San Jose Airport. BOMA Execu-tive Director Sharon Fredlund, AFE Silicon Valley President Raf-fy 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 facil-ity 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 Air-port facility highlighting its key systems that would be of in-terest to property and facility

AFE SV Unveils New Member ProcessIn an effort to make the AFE Silicon Valley Chapter a real re-source for facility professionals, AFE President Raffy Espirtu and Immediate Past President Bob Adamo announced an approval process for new associate/ven-dor members.

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

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

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

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 re-spect 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 be-tween customers and vendors,” said Raffy Espiritu.

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 orga-nization. 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 mak-ing them hesitant to participate in education and networking events.

Later this year, the board is con-sidering 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 di-rectory will serve as an impor-tant resource guide for our AFE facility professionals.

For more information on mem-bership, contact Steve Woods, AFE SV Membership Chair at [email protected] or 510-750-0159.
