From the President’s Desk
AFE Silicon Valley Chapter on the March By Raffy Espiritu FMP, President, AFE Silicon Valley
Yes, AFE is on the March. There is no pun intended as I write this piece on the March issue wanting to highlight the surge in the chapter’s activities and initiatives that is creating en-hanced awareness in the role that AFE plays in creating value in the built environment.
The AFE kickoff at LinkedIn in January set the tone for engage-ment at the level of social media and grassroots facility organiza-tions where facility profession-als network in creative and pro-ductive ways.
The February meeting and tour at the San Jose Inter-national Airport put to the test the value of partnering with the commercial real estate professionals show-ing the synergy between property management and facility engineering as mag-nificently demonstrated during Patrick Crowley’s presentation and the ensu-ing tour of the underbelly of the airport.
Undoubtedly, every property and facility manager needs the facility and building engineer as his/her key partner in ensuring the safety and comfort of the building occupant.
The monthly Lunch and Learn meetings for the first quarter were all well attended. Mem-bers are seeing a validation of the value they receive as they attend and participate in on-go-ing presentations and discussion of relevant issues that affect the facility under their care. The schedule for the second quarter should prove to be as exciting and educational as the first and expect that to be the case for the remainder of the year.
The planning for “A Day with a Facilities Professional” sched-uled on May 3 is in full gear with Stan Nakaso and Carole Lucido feverishly orchestrating the school visits, the solicitation of professional hosts and framing the guidelines for the panel of discussants.
This event is the highlight of AFE’s event calendar which un-derscores the chapter’s mission to enhance the career essentials of professionals entering the fa-cility management profession.
The hospitality and gener-osity of LinkedIn is properly noted as it would not only be the venue for the event but also the food and drink sponsor to cover all cost for the lunch and dinner. Membership and marketing are also marching along active-ly processing applications for membership and sponsorship based on the board guidelines that rationalizes the ratio be-tween professional and vendor participation in the chapter. It is expected that this balanced ap-proach would entice more facil-ity professionals to participate more actively in meetings and tours.
Lastly, I want to make a special word of thanks to Michael Bu-kay who has tendered his res-ignation as board member. His contributions to the chapter as New Media Chair in terms of quality videos that tell a compel-ling story of what the chapter is all about will be his lasting legacy. I salute him for his outstanding service and wish him the best of what is yet to come.
Sincerely,Raffy Espiritu, President AFE Silicon Valley Chapter
Raffy Espiritu, AFE Silicon Valley Chapter President, is also President and CEO of the Impec Group in Santa Clara, 408-330-9350, [email protected]
Lunch & Learn • March 28Hazardous Materials Regulatory Compliance 101 Join Eloy Cisneros for an informative presentation on Hazardous Materials Regulatory Compliance 101.
The presentation offers an introduction to haz-ardous materials regulatory compliance and pro-vides information that should be of interest to any property owner, manager and facility engineer regardless of the type of facility they are involved with and essential to those who actually own, manage and/or work at facilities with the pres-ence of known hazardous materials.
The presentation will cover a wide range of reg-ulated hazardous materials that can be found in all types of buildings, including those that may be stored, handled and/or used at the building (i.e. petroleum products, PCB containing equipment, etc.) as well as those that may be present within the building materials themselves (i.e. asbestos, lead, etc.). The presentation will offer a brief sum-
mary of some of the most relevant regulations and provide guidance with regards to compliance.
About the Presenter: Eloy Cisne-ros is a Certified Asbestos, Microbial and Lead Paint Consultant with over 18 years of experience successfully mitigating environmental liabilities for clients in both the private and public sectors.
AFE Lunch & Learn Series: Presented by the Silicon Valley Chapter of the Association for Facilities Engineering, these monthly educational forums offer an opportunity for facility professionals to learn from one another. Following a pre-sentation (30-40 minutes) and a catered lunch, attendees engage in interactive discussions that often include tips, tech-niques, and lessons learned.

Reinhard’s Code Corner #94
New CodesIt appears that this Spring will bring us many new codes and standards. Yes, just when you think you have it all handled, in comes another wave of new codes!
This week I will be doing a comprehensive Code Training session for the Semiconductor Safety Association. I will be teaching a class on the Queen Mary in Long Beach. I do hope I get many questions because the New 2013 California Fire Code is absolutely NEW! Yes California has adopted the newly formatted Fire Code. This will keep the whole state on its toes.
Next month the 2015 ICC (International Code Council) hearings will occur in Dallas. The session will be held right across from the
famous Book Repository where President Ken-nedy was assassinated.
We have a few very good questions posed to us this month.
Question #1: We have an existing building in San Jose. We understand that our labs are old and grand-fathered as far as storage and use of chemicals. How much can we modify the lab without having to change it?
The word grandfathering does not appear in the code. What you have is an existing “non-conform-ing” building. The minute you modify anything, you
will open the door for the requirement for full compliance. I recommend that you take an up-front approach with the San Jose Building and Fire Department and see what they will require.
Question #2: We are trying to classify a chemical and prepare our HMMP for the City of San Jose. We are having difficulty with the chemical being classified dif-ferently. What do we do?
Please see the following previously posted re-sponse. I have again had numerous emailed ques-tions about proper and legal classification.
Well you have found the big flaw. There is no quality control on the preparers of a MSDS. That’s right, any-one skilled or not skilled, educated or not educated can write an MSDS. I strongly suggest that you con-tact your Fire Marshal and ask. Very soon you will be able to use the State of California UNIDOCS site. This will be a critiqued classification that will be available on the web. Once this is officially launched – USE IT. It will be definitive and legally sound.
If you have a question on the code, send it to:

Michael Bukay, New Media Chair Retires from AFE BoardBy Carole Lucido, Communications Chair
After three years serving as the New Media Chair for AFE Sili-con Valley Chapter 39, Mike Bu-kay has decided to retire from the Board of Directors after the May 3, 2013 Day with a Facilities Professional event.
Mike has been an active and dedicated board member.
He produced fifteen dif-ferent video productions of AFE events over the years, including tours at Google, NASA Sustainability Base, the HP Pavil-ion and Shark Tank and two pro-ductions of last year’s 50th an-niversary of Day with a Facility Professional. He also produced a video of an AFE meeting in May 2011 in which he demonstrated the power of videos for training purposes within industrial and engineering departments. You can view all of his AFE videos on his website, www.bukaymedia.com/afe.html/.
Mike also won an award in Oc-tober 2010 from AFE national for breaking new ground in AFE chapters with his contribu-tion of videos to promote AFE meetings. He wrote a series of five articles for this newslet-ter in late 2010 describing the process of how videos are pro-duced, and a number of articles summarizing AFE meetings and tours. He also contributed many photographs to this newsletter.
He also was a driving force in the chapter’s new website. Mike identified the Word Press plat-form and recommended the blog feature now in use. He also found a web developer who made the entire process smooth and easy.
The Silicon Valley Chapter has benefitted greatly from his vol-unteer efforts in the emerg-ing medium of video as well as many other contributions as a board member.
His decision to re-allocate his time and energy to the imme-diate needs of his video pro-duction and high purity water consulting businesses is under-standable. Mike reported that he is gaining new customers as a result of his AFE role includ-ing Koffler Electrical Mechanical Apparatus Testing. Mike has pro-duced a number of videos docu-menting the repair services of-fered by Koffler and is working on new video material for the company’s new website.
Video was a hobby for Mike when he worked solely as a water purifica-tion engineer many years ago. He decided to de-velop his skills and make it a business. Today he has many high profile clients that rely on him to im-prove their training and repair functions. But since making movies is also his passion, he has produced a variety of videos purely for enjoyment and re-laxation. A visit to the portfolio section of bu-kaymedia.com will reveal a variety of videos done from his home in Point Richmond.
In early March he was contacted by a TV news producer from KPIX channel 5 in San Fran-cisco who was doing a story on the big herring
As volunteer New Media Chair for AFE Silicon Valley Chapter 39, Michael Bukay leaves a legacy of 15 videos of AFE events along with a number of innovations that helped the Chapter grow. His business, Bukay Media, produces videos for industrial training, safety, and sales.

Lunch & Learn: Innovations in HighPerformance HVAC Systems
The two most innovative new designs in high performance commercial heating and cool-ing systems were discussed in detail at the February 28 Lunch & Learn hosted by Fenwick & West in Mountain View.
Angie Simon, P.E., President; Yindy Felkins, P.E., Project Manager and Bob Dills, VP of Western Al-lied Mechanical presented a very interesting pro-gram on variable refrigerant flow systems (VRFs) and the use of chilled beam systems. They started the presentation with an overview of each system.
VRF or variable refrigerant flow systems, are also known as variable refrigerant volume (VRV). These energy-efficient systems are ideal for ret-rofits and high rise buildings with limited space. VRF systems have multiple indoor fan coil units connected to only one outdoor condensing unit. They can provide heating and cooling zones si-multaneously. While this type of system does have the drawback of limited refrigerant pipe
length, for the right building, it can serve as quite an energy saver.
A Chilled Beam System is a hydronic HVAC component that is designed to induce room air flow to cool or heat space. It has been used in Europe for several years, but is new to the states. In fact only a handful of buildings in the Silicon Valley are utilizing this system. Due to the lack of moving parts, the maintenance cost on chilled beam systems is lower than of a traditional system. On the downside, condensa-tion may form if the controls are not properly set or maintained. There are two main types of chilled beams: Active and Passive.
An active chilled beam is an air-water system that requires direct air supply into the beam from an AHU (air handling unit) while using high velocity nozzles that direct conditioned supply air to the room. Active chilled beams provide a very high level of occupant thermal comfort.

AFE Silicon Valley President Raf-fy Espirtu writes, “Michael is a true gentleman and professional of the first order. Being the first AFE member and board leader I met during the first AFE event that I attended, he left me with a positive impression that was a big factor that influenced me to join the chapter. He spoke highly of AFE and the challenges that need to be tackled by the chapter. True enough, Michael proved himself as a model of demonstrated leadership head-ing the New Media program of the chapter producing fifteen productions during his term. His devotion to the chapter and the amazing videos he is leaving behind will be his lasting legacy to AFE Silicon Valley Chapter 39. In a way, Michael will always be with us even as he moves on to focus on growing his busi-ness. Please join me in wishing him well in his future endeavors.
In a letter announcing his resig-nation to the board, he wrote, “Being part of the re-emergence of our Chapter has been a ter-rific experience for me! I really enjoyed shooting and editing all the videos at the amazing fa-cilities that our Chapter made available for us and our mem-bers over the last 3 years….As important as the financial benefits (and possibly more important) is the personal de-velopment I have gained from working with this team. The in-sightfulness, teamwork, and get the job done attitude continues to inspire me!
I am certain that all members of the AFE Silicon Valley Chapter Board of Directors will join me in wishing continued success to Michael Bukay. We will miss his enthusiasm, creativity and gen-erosity with his many talents. Thank you Mike!

Innovations in HVAC (continued from page 7)Passive chilled beams have no connection to an air supply source, and are primarily used as convective cooling. This op-tion requires separate ventila-tion and dry atmosphere to prevent condensation.
Bob, Angie and Yindy brought these new technologies to life by presenting two case studies. The first was a system that uses a combination of chilled beams and the VRF system, executed in conference rooms on the sec-ond floor of Fenwick & West (in the same room as our meeting). Because of sudden load changes, the VRF system was selected because it responds quickly and effectively to achieve the ideal temperature demand. The chilled beam system was added for its thermal comfort and quiet operation. This unusual combination system solved the problem of sudden HVAC load
increases and decreases at Fen-wick and West.
The second case study was the Net Zero Energy Headquar-ters at the David and Lucille Packard Foundation. Western Allied Mechanical installed an active chilled beam system and Dedicated Outside Air System (DOAS) to work with renew-able energy photovoltaic pan-els, a cooling tower, and a large underground storage tank. The design resulted in a self-sustain-ing system with minimal light-ing, HVAC, and plug loads that leaves no carbon footprint.
The active group of approxi-mately 25 facility professionals responded with a lively Q&A session. The group was most in-terested in the details of appli-cations that present significant energy and cost savings as a result of these new high perfor-mance HVAC systems.
The next AFE Lunch & Learn session is scheduled for April 25 and will feature Transformer Ef-ficiency. Turn to page 3 for more information on this session.
