High Flying with Drones as Asset Management Tools Indiana University (Kara Korte, David Navarre)
Drones are no longer just toys – they can be “tools.” Drones have the ability to quickly scan previously out-of-reach locations, saving time and safely keeping your teams feet on the ground. Learn how Indiana University is utilizing drones as a very effective and affordable tool in their asset management tool belt. Can anyone fly a drone? The information provided in this presentation you will give a better understanding of FAA license regulations associated with the use of drones commercially. The presenters will also provide a history of how the drone program got its start at IU along with how they are utilizing them within Facility Operations. Preforming roof inspections, progressive construction images, capturing infrared images to inspect for failed building envelopes, leaking buried utility lines and failed roof insulation systems are just a few ways their team is currently using drones on the Bloomington campus. Presenters will include a variety of innovative ways they are planning to expand the use of drones for asset management, the drones and addition equipment they use, along with information to consider when purchasing a drone for commercial use. Following this webinar, you have a better understanding on how drones can become the most reliable tool on your belt! Be prepared for a fun and very interesting session. Webinar

Optimizing the Value of Your Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) Presented by BMOC (Jonathan Thomas and Doug Litwiller)
Every organization that operates and maintains a portfolio of buildings always strive to maximize asset reliability and energy efficiency while continuing to effectively manage labor and material costs. One tool that most organizations attempt to leverage in this effort is the ubiquitous computerized maintenance management software (CMMS). Many organizations are frustrated with the performance of their CMMS – the reports generated aren’t accurate, the maintenance techs see no value in the CMMS, true costs aren’t tracked accurately, data is in the system but unreliable, and the CMMS is just too “clunky.” The problem may not be the CMMS, but rather the quality of information loaded into the CMMS. The goal of this webinar is to provide useful information and guidance to help CMMS users get more out of their existing CMMS without replacing it. Webinar

Healthy People, Healthy Planet: WELL Buildings Ignite a Second Wave of Sustainability
Increasing Your Liability, Increasing Your Costs, and Shortening System Life
The college campus has always been responsive to the dynamic needs of higher education. From the library to the theater, lecture hall to lab, a university is at the forefront of shifting paradigms and experimentation. Just as technology has transformed campus spaces to meet the learning needs of a new generation of student, so too must they reflect our evolving understanding of sustainability.
Increasingly, students, staff and faculty members are looking for educational facilities that meet their holistic needs -- spaces which support their health and well-being -- as well as their academic needs. This second wave of sustainability is decidedly human, builds on established green building practices and can be supported by a campus-level approach.
The WELL Building Standard is a tool to implement sustainable solutions which integrate design, operations and policies which benefit people, without sacrificing the planet. Join us as we work to elevate the role of facilities management professionals to achieve recognition as agents of public health, and outline how you can deliver a holistic healthy campus experience through implementation of the WELL Building Standard.

March 2, 2010 Pest Bird Management and the Role of Contraception Webinar Webinar Presented by: Erick Wolf, BS, MBA, Innolytics LLC
Nuisance birds are often a facilities management challenge and many campuses struggle with these aerial pests. Due to the risk of collateral damage, commonly accepted, lethal control techniques for rodents and insects are not appropriate for birds. Killing birds, even lowly pigeons, can result in unprecedented public outrage by students, faculty and staff. The AFC webinar describes the most common bird pests, their biology, behavior and relevant mitigation techniques. Contraception of pest birds is a new tool that has been recently added to the portfolio of management alternatives. In addition to conventional exclusion and removal techniques, the new technology provides a safe and effective population management tool. This presentation introduces participants to the basics of bird management strategies and the principles of integrated pest management for birds (“IPM”).
July 29, 2009 Phantom Load: Become a Carbon Zero Hero Webinar Webinar Case Studies Questions and Answers Resource List Presented by: Elliot Easton, Project Director for Sustainability at EYP/Energy and Katherine Johnson, President of Johnson Consulting Group
Are you aware of the constant drain of energy resulting from poorly managed phantom-loads on your campus? Computers, televisions, printers, and other high-energy demand plug-in electronics can quickly short-circuit the typical college dorm. While colleges and universities are striving to manage rising energy costs and become more sustainable, energy demands from the increased use of plug-in electronic devices are a constant drain on an institution’s bottom line. So how can you reduce the negative effects of phantom-loads? This webinar summarizes power-management strategies for reducing phantom-loads based on comprehensive on-site audits of more than 15 college campuses. It also uses audit data to analyze specific plug-load usage by key college constituents and programs, such as staff, faculty, dormitories, and computer labs and libraries. The presentation also features examples of student-led energy conservation campaigns, including the University at Buffalo’s creative and successful "Do It In the Dark" campaign.
July 15, 2009 Building Green with Metal Webinar Presented by: Scott Kriner
This informative presentation takes a look at energy usage in the U. S. and how the use of metal roofs and walls can help reduce energy consumption in buildings.

Compliance with new energy codes and the findings of independent research studies are then discussed, along with a case study comparing two identical buildings, except that one has a "standard" roof, the other, a "cool" roof. The presentation continues with a look at the role of "cool metal walls" and insulated metal panels in reducing energy consumption, and then concludes with a discussion of the environmental benefits of metal roofs and walls, including their contribution to LEED points.
April 15, 2009 A Range of Inspection Webinar Presented by: Sandy Conard, JenMar Systems and George Thomlison, University of Alberta
