Educational Program
Stormwater Management Enforcement—The Latest EPA Initiative (PIE: 1 PDH; AIA: 1 CEU)
Matthew R. Van Patten, C.H.M.M, P.E., C.E.M.—Apex Environmental, Inc.
The Environmental Protection Agency’s stormwater
regulations are starting to impact university construction
projects and maintenance operations. Phase II of the
regulations were recently put in place. This phase
requires protection plans and implementations for most
projects. It also requires municipalities to put in place
inspection and enforcement procedures. This presentation
will provide an overview of the regulations, assistance
for the preparation of stormwater pollution
prevention plans, recommendations for a PM schedule
and guidance for negotiating with regulators.
Retro-Commissioning A Solution for Today’s Modern Facilities (PIE: 0.75 PDH; AIA: 1 CEU)
Mark Miller, P.E., C.E.M.—Strategic Building Solutions, LLC
In a climate of escalating utility costs, increasing budgets
pressures, and recent additions of new modern buildings,
the energy and operational savings present in the nation’s
inventory of existing buildings can be likened to “gold
waiting to be mined.” Unfortunately, the opportunities
are being ignored. The speaker will discuss how retrocommissioning
is increasingly being employed to realize
this untapped savings potential, create a high return on
investment, and improve building performance.
Case Study—Pace University Indoor Environmental Quality Program (AIA: 1 CEU)
Shannon Magari, ScD, M.S., M.P.H.—Colden Corporation Bill Link—Pace University
Pace University’s indoor environmental quality program
optimizes HVAC system maintenance and hygiene and
response requirements to moisture intrusion and mold
growth, and has a proactive engagement of occupant
complaints. Explore with us the changing environment
of the air volume inside the building envelope and learn
what you can do to improve the indoor environmental
quality of your buildings. Take with you mechanical
hygiene and maintenance checklists, ASHRAE comfort
parameters, and a response plan for moisture intrusion
and mold growth.
Toxic Mold: Building Contamination, Health Effects, Investigation Methods and Remediation (PIE: 1 PDH; AIA: 1 CEU)
Richard K. Rote, M.S., C.I.H.—Labella Associates, P.C.
Multimillion dollar lawsuits have brought this issue to
the attention of mainstream media and captured concerns
of parents across the country. Get technical information
in an understandable session on mold as a
component of indoor air quality investigations and toxic
mold and how it gets into our buildings. Related topics
to be discussed are sampling methods considerations for
remediation.
Proactive Risk Management for Construction and Renovations
John E. Osborn, P.C.—Attorney & Counselor at Law
Carrying out a capital program exposes the institution to
a wide range of new risks unique to the process. Planning
in advance allows you to significantly limit or transfer
the risk. This interactive seminar examines the risks and
provides for a proactive management to limit exposure.
The seminar includes a discussion of architect contracts,
construction insurance, payment and performance
bonds, and environmental insurance.

Daylighting (AIA: 1 CEU)
Thomas Bucher, P.E.—LaBella Associates, P.C.
The use of sunlight to illuminate building interiors is not
a new concept. This program explains how daylighting
can improve the indoor environment, improve productivity,
and reduce energy costs. The presentation will
include building technologies required for an effective
daylighting system.
Beyond the Condition Assessment (AIA: 1 CEU)
David A. VanOcker P.E.—CVM Engineers
Thomas J. Allen—Vassar College
Renewal of older college campus facilities is a continual
but essential endeavor to ensure the enduring values of
our institutions long into the 21st century. Facility
managers are familiar with condition audits as a vital
facet of renewal programming. Getting beyond the audit
is often more than simply a matter of money though.
This presentation chronicles how Vassar College incorporated
that first step, the facility condition audit into a
campus-wide program that integrated multiple preexisting
master plans initiatives and refocused renewal
efforts and redirected themselves to preserving the
enduring values of their institution.
Attaining the Resources You Need by Automating APPA’s Maintenance Staffing Guidelines (PIE: 1 PDH; AIA: 1 CEU)
James P. Whittaker, P.E., Vice President—Facility Engineering Associates
Willie Suter, Director, Physical Plant Operations—American University
Explore a case history from American University on an
automated process to prioritize maintenance activities
and justify needed resources using APPA’s levels-ofservice
benchmarking and staffing guidelines.
Bold Landscaping—Dramatic Impact and Reduced Maintenance (AIA: 1 CEU)
Terry L. Ettinger, Principal Horticulture Consulting Services
Using the more than 7,000 plant Oncenter convention
complex landscaping installation design by the presenter
as a case study, this presentation will illustrate how
replacing 15,000 square feet of turf with large-scale
planting of spring-flowering bulbs, perennials, and
ornamental grasses has reduced maintenance costs,
created a visually stunning landscape project.

infrastructure needs and future programs requirements,
and how the speakers were successful using this information
to promote budgets and provide background for
capital campaigns.
This presentation will focus on the pros and cons of
using real-time simulation for campus master planning.
The use of this program can help to save time, money
and help to build consensus on many projects.
Energy Sustainability and the Green Campus (AIA: 1 CEU)
