Did you know that 96% of shoe soles test positive for E.coli? Not a problem unless it becomes aerosolized. Billions of dollars in litigation can be avoided by monitoring air quality during water mitigation. Protect occupants from being exposed to serious health issues. Learn about the newest technology that measures indoor air quality. Understand new strategies for managing occupant exposure and limiting project costs.

You are not using a rotary phone to make calls in 2020? Why are you still using pre-1800’s technology to work at elevated heights? Join us as we expose the risk and dangers of utilizing antiquated ladders. Be a part of a discussion where we can help recognize improved efficiencies and work place safety. We’ll also highlight the new industry standards dealing with mobile elevated work platforms.

Faced with the challenge of finding skilled technicians, commercial real estate firm CBRE identified the need to bridge the skills gap. Together with training and performance support provider Vector Solutions, CBRE worked to create a comprehensive career development program for 9,000+ technicians. Initiatives included an internal apprenticeship program, skills assessments, technical training, career pathing, certification programs and more. Understand what Vector and CBRE learned along the way, and discover the impressive benefits already realized.

This presentation will outline the viability of restoration for aging HVAC equipment and the return on investment. It will demonstrate with the support of case studies: Performance improvements in CFM, Static Pressure, Cooling Capacity, corresponding energy efficiency gains and CAPEX savings. An in-depth look at the process of reconditioning the HVAC system will also be covered. This includes steam coil cleaning, specialized coatings, closed cell insulation and an ECM fan array upgrade. Restore in place options will also be discussed for equipment located in areas not feasible for replacement. Ultimately, HVAC restoration is a sustainable, less disruptive, more cost-effective solution than replacement and can pay for itself in energy savings.

Keeping your facilities running smoothly is tough, especially when your team is understaffed, underfunded, and handling equipment near the end of its life. Join this session to learn how organizations switch from firefighting mode to operating smoothly with Facilities Management Software. We will review how these key areas of operation can be streamlined to reduce operating costs and extend asset life:

• Work order processes
• Preventive maintenance strategy
• Facility rental management
• Facilities scheduling automation
• Asset tracking/budgeting

Leaks and mold continue to pose serious problems for the construction industry. This seminar will compare traditional waterproofing systems with modern waterproofing technology to show how tiled showers have evolved. The fundamentals of both approaches, including proper design, execution, and function will be presented, with close attention paid to common errors, as well. The benefits of bonded waterproofing technology and how it has improved tiled showers will be stressed.

Hear how a new and innovative inspection method is making it safer, easier, faster and more affordable to maintain and repair large-scale facility assets.

An overview of Variable Frequency Drives (VFD’s) and the electrical power harmonic impact drives have on the building power quality. This learning lab will focus on prevention of harmonic issues created by VFD’s with respect to IEEE 519-2014. An introduction to the ACH580 drive product line and the ACH580 low harmonic VFD solution.

The Facility Maintenance industry is facing a massive workforce turnover problem. Whether entry-level or veteran employee, losing just one worker can significantly impact your business. Investing in a training solution aimed at developing the skills of your workforce efficiently and effectively is hands-down the best retention strategy. Come hear how using Virtual Reality and 3D simulation technical training, along with targeted assessments to provide technician skill visibility, is changing the outcomes for companies across the country.

The advent of low-cost, long-battery life Internet of Things (IoT) sensors has opened a new era in facilities management, revealing building performance, sustainability and expense data that the industry could only guess at. Our deployments across thousands of rooms in a dozen global FM companies are transforming staffing, energy and security costs even as this new data provides new safety and maintenance capabilities. Desk and room occupancy sensors identify wasted square footage; predictive cleaning and maintenance sensors save time and man-hours that are better spent on more complex issues. Water sensors identify leaks and warn about risks like Legionnaire’s Disease, just as our refrigeration sensors ensure against hidden spoilage. From waste management to air quality to foot traffic, our solutions convert your inert, brick-and-mortar buildings into living, breathing entities complete with vital signs that can be read, compiled and audited. Knowledge is power. Powering transformative change in a modern facility or across a complex real estate portfolio means collecting data that turns guesstimates into decisions driven by precise, real-time metrics. Microshare offers a solutions-based approach to this challenge.
