The West Valley College Campus Center was renovated with sustainability in mind and a goal of reaching LEED standards in the LEED for Existing Buildings Rating Sys-tem (EBOM). This rating system helps building own-ers and operators measure operations, improvements and maintenance on a consistent scale, with the goal of maximizing operational efficiency while minimizing environmental impacts. LEED for Existing Buildings ad-dresses whole-building cleaning and maintenance issues (including chemical use), recycling programs, exterior maintenance programs, and systems upgrades.

At West Valley College the renovation extended from just the Campus Center to the surrounding natural site as well. In addition to a tour of the building the Novem-ber 13 AFE tour will include a look at the creek resto-ration and also an impressive one-megawatt solar array.

The building incorporates water efficiency, energy and atmosphere improvements including natural daylighting, and recycling centers.

From the President’s Desk

We Are Almost ThereBy Raffy Espiritu FMP, President, AFE Silicon Valley

As we enter the 4th quarter, two questions present them-selves: “how are we ending the year?” and “how prepared are we for the next year?”

On the first one, I anticipate that we will end the year with the following accomplishments thus far:

• Kick off Launch – success-ful launch at LinkedIn with participation from IFMA and BOMA with full support from LinkedIn Management;

• Lunch and Learn – outstand-ing ten (10) Lunch and Learn sessions in prominent facili-ties with excellent speakers and consistently high level of participation from our mem-bership;

• Facility Tours – remarkable fa-cility tours at the San Jose In-ternational Airport, Brocade, One Workplace, MacAfee and Network Appliance with the possibility of another tour at the West Valley College;

• Day with a Facilities Profes-sional – memorable event with strong participation from IFMA and BOMA and the students from Cal Poly, San Jose State, Santa Clara University and Cal Maritime Academy and their facility hosts;

• Communication – publication of Award Winning AFE News-letter monthly with updated information on AFE affairs and publication of feature ar-ticles that have been found to be very useful by our mem-bers;

• Membership – pending final accounting of the numbers, our membership chair indi-cated that we are very close to hitting the targeted goal of 100 for the year;

• Marketing – we are thank-ful to our sponsors for this year and there is urgency to be more proactive in attract-ing event sponsors to under-write our expenses for the chapter’s education program.

• Special Events – The chap-ter actively supported the Northern California Facilities Expo held at the Santa Clara Convention Center which yielded quite a few prospec-tive members to join the AFE fold. The Special Edition of the “Stewards of the Built Envi-

Reinhard’s Code Corner #100

Code Classes & HearingsSeptember brought us a few days without a Bay Bridge and a transition to great fall weather. We also conducted a few Califor-nia Code classes. The California state Fire Marshal endorsed a recent class sponsored by the SF Chapter of ISPE (International Society of Pharmaceutical Engineers). The class was attended by approximately 70 architects, engineers, fire inspectors and building inspectors. The class was interactive with many ques-tions being asked and open dialogs.

This month we have a few good code questions. Remember while only a few questions are published, all questions re-ceive a response. Send your questions to Reinhard.Hanselka @crbusa.com.

Question #1: Our business is a major plating operation related to metal finishing. We have substantial equipment and tools. We have recently been told that the local Fire Department wants to have a detailed review of all of our equipment whenever we make any changes. This could slow us down. Is this correct? Do we have to submit any changes?Your local jurisdiction is correct. For any piece of equipment or device that uses or stores hazardous materials, it is the re-sponsibility of the Fire Department per the requirements of the Hazardous Materials Chapter of the California Fire Code, Chapter 27 (2010) or Chapter 50 (2013). If the equipment does not utilize hazardous materials, there is no authority for the local Fire Department to permit or even review the tool. Al-though, seismic permits are always required. A chemical inven-tory must be submitted with each permit application. I strongly recommend that you schedule a meeting with your local Fire Marshal to clearly define the review and inspection criteria, in-cluding review time lines.

Question #2: We have been re-quested to submit MSDS sheets with any building application. Is this a new requirement?Yes! The chemistry used in any building or structure in the United States must be de-clared. The nature and volumes of chemistry may affect the track that a city uses in permit-ting any plan. The chemical in-ventory is a basis of design and should always be included. It is an evaluation parameter just like seismic or ADA.

Day with a Facility Professional & Hamilton Chang by Stan Nakaso, AFE-SV Chapter VP and Student Affairs Chair

The Spring 2014 Day with a Facility Professional (DWFP) event will be hosted by Juniper Network on February 28. This event provides students an opportunity to share a day with facility profession-als from a variety of industries.

I had an opportunity to catch up with Hamilton Chang, a Senior at California Maritime Academy majoring in Mechanical Engineering.

Hamilton attended the 2013 DWFP event hosted by Linkedin at their Mountain View campus. His host professional was Ian Choy of Bloom Energy, alumni of the SJSU and former AFE student chap-ter President. I asked Hamilton to recall some of his memories about the event. He indicated that “Day with a Facility Professional” provided him an opportunity to meet many facility representatives of varying industries in a short time. He also was able to see the operating equipment and challeng-es of the facility engineers supporting the Net App network data centers.

As a student facility engineer intern, Hamilton’s summer was extremely busy at the Adobe offices in San Francisco. Hamilton worked with the jour-neymen service technicians responding to daily customer support calls. He developed a strong appreciation for the physical demands and respon-sibility of the technicians during his short summer assignment. He learned how fuel cells and sustain-able building practices are all integral to maintain-ing an efficient building. In addition to his activities at Adobe, Hamilton provided bi-weekly activity re-ports to Mike Strange, AFE Cal Maritime Faculty advisor and will be delivering a summary report of his internship experience.

I’m excited for Hamilton and very pleased he has expanded his professional network with facility colleagues associated AFE. I’ll be looking forward to seeing him and many of his classmates at the 2014 event at Juniper Networks.

West Valley College Sustainability Round Tableby Stan Nakaso, AFE SV Chapter VP & Student Affairs Chair

In September, West Valley College held its first roundtable discussion on the development of ed-ucational pathways for jobs in the environmental and sustainable fields.

Attendees represented a combination of educa-tional, academic and industry professions and en-gaged in a variety of discussion topics that will be used by the faculty at West Valley to create pro-grams that will offer educational opportunities to students specifically in the areas of sustainable en-vironmental studies. Several discussions focused academic training on alternatives to traditional business profit models. The concept of “triple bottom line” is becoming the accepted way for business to demonstrate they have strategies for sustainable growth. Triple bottom line accounting recognizes that without happy, healthy people to staff a business and the natural environment able to sustain those people, and supply resources for trade; business is, well, simply unsustainable in the long run. Look for West Valley College to be the leader in developing educational course offerings for sustainable careers immediately.

vironment” that AFE indorsed wholeheartedly is getting positive reviews from the FM community. Two of the prominent FM professionals that AFE submitted for feature coverage, Patrick Crowley of the San Jose International Airport and Alex Mandrusov of Network Appliance were included in the publication.

On the second note, the board has started to gear up for 2014 with the following action to be made before the end of the year so that the New Year would have a clear platform to guide its path:

• Corporate Planning Session for 2014 – Date will be announced shortly.

• Formation of New Set of Volunteers – Meetings with prospective volunteer leaders are under-way

• Installation of New Officers – This will be a key part of the AFE Holiday Party Program.

It is a comforting thought that as we wind down this year, our chapter has kept up with the tradi-tion of making the chapter relevant and respon-sive to the needs of our members.

Spotlight on a MemberNarsimha Irrinki, P.E., CPE, CHFM

Narsimha Irrinki has been a member of AFE Silicon Valley Chapter since 1994. He joined shortly after moving to California after he earned his Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering at South Dakota State Univer-sity.

At about that time, he challenged himself with the Certified Plant Engineer (CPE) course in Balti-more. “I chose the CPE course because it was the only certification that included eight engineering disciplines in one rigorous course,” he said in an interview at his office at San Mateo Medical Cen-ter in early October.

Originally from India, Narsimha Irrinki has earned many titles over the years. The fact that he chose the CPE course first speaks highly of the AFE and its unique role in associations for facilities engi-neering professionals. He is a regular reader of the AFE Journal and has contributed articles in the past and also served as the editorial member.

He also earned his Professional Engineer license, The American Hospital Association’s Certified Healthcare Facility Manager, and American Society of Plumbing Engineers Certified in Plumbing De-sign titles. Narsimha is also an International Code Council Mechanical Inspector, Certified Green Building Professional and holds a certificate in Healthcare construction.

Now as Director of Engineering for San Mateo Medical Center and County Health Facilities, his portfolio includes over 800,000 sq feet, includ-ing 400,000 sq ft in five buildings at the County Medical Center and several off-site clinics. He and his staff of 25 act as part of the Facilities Engi-neering team, and are responsible for daily opera-tions, maintenance and repair. Narsimha is also the Safety Officer and Disaster Preparedness Coordi-nator for the medical center. He also worked as a Chief Plant Engineer and Assistant Director of Engineering for Community Hospital of The Mon-terey Peninsula before joining San Mateo Medical center.

He said his biggest challenge is budgeting for cata-strophic failures. “You never know when an equip-ment failure may occur,” he said. “You can have an excellent maintenance program but the equip-ment may still fail without any warning.”

Another challenge is staff competency, which he addresses at each staff meeting. He has vendors come and speak about different issues such as fire & life safety, arc-flash protection, underground tank compliance and others. He also educates staff on importance of energy savings.

Critical issues that concern him include environ-ment of care, utilities management, air quality, sus-tainability programs, water conservation, lighting retrofits, topics related to OSHPD seismic regula-tions and licensing & accreditation, which, he ex-plained, are critical to healthcare agencies because a hospital’s certification and reimbursement are tied to these regulations.

Narsimha’s career started when he worked as a Plant Maintenance Engineer in a pharmaceutical plant. “I developed an interest and passion in this field with the everyday challenge of facility main-tenance,” he said.

When asked about advice he would give to a stu-dent considering facility operations as a career, Narsimha stressed the fact that facility manage-ment is multidisciplinary. “You need to have many skills and an interest in working with equipment, people, and buildings. It all leads to customer ser-vice. When you answer calls from users who say the building is too hot, too cold, or the TV doesn’t work, you have to move quickly and you have to meet some very high expectations. They want things fixed right away. So you have to understand how the equipment in your facility works. But more than that, you have to understand how ev-erything interacts.”

“Twenty five years ago, there were no automatic controls. Everything was manual. So to start a boil-er, you had to go step by step. You needed to know what happens at each step in order to operate it, maintain it, and troubleshoot it. And that’s true for any system, from boilers to chillers, to cooling towers, the electrical distribution system, etc.”

“A career in facility operations is not just about changing light bulbs,” he said. It encompasses a life cycle of events including planning, design, instal-lation, commissioning, maintenance, operations and repair. Ninety percent of the problems can be avoided if the systems are properly sized and selected during the design phase. The other ten percent of the problems in the field can be avoid-ed by following process of elimination techniques which requires good understanding of the prin-ciples of operation and the background on how the integrated systems works.

“Training on the complex integrated systems is not fully taught in schools,” he said. One has to learn these skills sequentially to be prepared for the Facilities Engineering profession. In some cas-es, you have to adapt along with the changes in the industry. In the end, it is all about customer service. You always have to respond. Every minute is customer service,” he said.
