2012 ASPE CONVENTION & EXPOSITION KEYNOTE SPEAKER

KYLE PETTY

KEYNOTE ADDRESS IS OPEN TO ALL EXPOSITION ATTENDEES

REGISTER NOW TO HEAR KYLE PETTY SPEAK!

MONDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2012, 10:15 A.M.CHARLOTTE CONVENTION CENTER

Join us before we open the doors to the 2012 ASPE Exposition for our keynote address featuring auto-racing icon and champion of philanthropy, Kyle Petty.

Kyle Petty’s name and mega-watt smile will always connect him with NASCAR’s most famous family. To the world, his father Richard Petty was, and still is, “the King,” the greatest champion in NASCAR history. Kyle’s grandfather, Lee, was larger-than-life in the early days of stock car racing, but to a young boy growing up in Level Cross, NC, and places like Daytona, Charlotte, and Talladega, they were simply Dad and Grandpa. Kyle is as much a product of racing as he is of his famous forebears.

Today, it is Kyle Petty who is larger than life. Inspired by the vision of their late son Adam, Kyle and his wife Patty have in turn inspired the compassion and generosity of the NASCAR community and corporate sponsors nationwide to help those in need. Their crowning achievement is the Victory Junction Gang Camp near Level Cross, where thousands of children with life-threatening or chronic illnesses fi nd hope, laughter, friendship, and adventure every year. Founded in 2000 in partnership with family friend and racing enthusiast Paul Newman, Victory Junction Gang Camp has proven wrong every “expert” who counseled the Petty’s against the undertaking, citing the immense cost and complexity of building and operating a camp for kids with special requirements. The camp has not only become a shining example of what character and commitment can achieve—it has been so successful that a second Victory Junction Gang Camp is planned for the Kansas City area.

An avid motorcyclist, Kyle also founded the Kyle Petty Charity Ride Across America to benefi t children’s causes. Every year hundreds of NASCAR fans, drivers, and crew members jump on their motorcycles to join Kyle in visiting local children’s hospitals and other charities. To date, the Kyle Petty Charity Ride has raised more than $14 million and is the most successful philanthropic event staged by any person in the NASCAR family.

Kyle has been named or nominated by NASCAR, plus various media outlets and corporations, as Person of the Year, Father of the Year, Sportsman of the Year, and the USA’s Most Caring Athlete. He is an inductee in both the Philanthropy Hall of Fame and the Humanitarian Hall of Fame.

When Kyle isn’t behind the wheel of a racecar or serving humanitarian or philanthropic causes, he can be seen and heard on television, radio, and the Internet. He is a featured analyst on TNT’s live NASCAR coverage and hosts a variety of programs for the Speed Channel, in addition to co-hosting the weekly radio show “Fast Talk” on the Performance Racing Network.

For more than three decades as a driver, owner, and media commentator, Kyle has put his heart and soul into doing what a Petty does best: compete with class and raise the game of everyone around him.

INVESTING IN GREEN: A BUSINESS APPROACH TO SUSTAINABLE DESIGNDr. Saum Nour, PE, CPD, LEED AP, Owner, ACE Tuesday, Oct. 30, 10–11:15 a.m.A new component has been added to a company’s investment decision-making process: sustainability. Many products and systems may or may not be considered sustainable, but unfortunately the term “green”

has become more of a marketing tool than an engineering tool. This presentation clears up the confusion surrounding three concepts—green, sustainable, and investment—and will help engineers understand their intentions, use, and interrelations to assist in advising CFOs on the investment potential of a particular sustainable product or system.

WATER HARVESTING: MORE THAN JUST RAINWATERMike Warren, Product Manager of SkyHarvester Water Conser-vation Systems, Watertronics Inc.Tuesday, Oct. 30, 3:45–5 p.m.From this session, attendees will learn about the different types of water available on a commercial property, the requirements per use, the different aspects of design that affect operation, and material costs.

EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES

NASCAR: NOT YOUR NORMAL AUTO SHOPRoger Phillips, Director of Safety, Security, and Facilities, Joe Gibbs Racing Inc.Tuesday, Oct. 30, 8:30–9:45 a.m.When you think of NASCAR, images of multi-colored cars careening on an asphalt track at 190+ miles per hour come to mind—but did you ever wonder where these massive machines are manufactured? On the outside, NASCAR garages look like offi ce buildings that cover entire city blocks. On the inside, the manufacturing of race cars is a big produc-tion. This session will discuss a number of different areas in the shop, including cogeneration, fi re protection, HVAC, and fuel distribution.

WATERBORNE PATHOGENS: THE CASE FOR PROACTIVE PLUMBING DESIGNPeter Cartwright, PE, President, Cartwright Consulting Co.Tuesday, Oct. 30, 10–11:15 a.m.A waterborne pathogen is a microorganism capable of producing disease that is transmitted in water to humans. Because bacteria are capable of growing in any environment, they can’t be eliminated, so the goal is to keep them under control to minimize the incidence of infection. This presentation examines the role that plumbing design plays in the proliferation and transmission of waterborne diseases and the appropriate design, treatment, and system maintenance measures utilized to minimize the impact of pathogens on humans.

LEAD FREEBen Lawrence, Metallurgical Engineer, NIBCO Inc.Aaron Edds, Valve Product Manager, NIBCO Inc.Tuesday, Oct. 30, 3:45–5 p.m.This seminar will help attendees become an expert on national lead-free legislation that will go into effect in January 2014. The differences among today’s lead-free alloys and how they affect product perfor-mance and installation will be covered. Valuable resources including technical bulletins, white papers, and supplemental handouts from industry organizations including the CDA and American Foundry Soci-ety will be provided. The presentation also will include a short video on soldering techniques of lead-free copper silicon alloys.

ACTIVE pH NEUTRALIZATION SYSTEM DESIGN/THEORYMark Girgenti, Lead Sales and Design Engineer, Burt Process EquipmentWednesday, Oct. 31, 8:30–9:45 a.m.The requirement for pH adjustment and waste treatment is a common demand in many industries, and active waste treatment systems offer the widest versatility in treatment options. This seminar will focus on the theory of pH adjustment, with specifi c emphasis on batch and continu-ous fl ow systems, residence time, treatment chemistry, process design, titration data, and control schemes. Alternate and advanced treatment schemes—including thermal waste treatment, membrane systems, met-als precipitation, and organics removal—also will be discussed.

BROWN GREASE: BIOFUELLyle Estill, Piedmont BiofuelsWednesday, Oct. 31, 10–11:15 a.m.Biodiesel is a clean-burning renewable fuel that is derived from fats, oils, and greases (FOG). As a drop-in replacement for diesel fuel, it is commonly blended with petroleum diesel. During this session, attendees will learn how brown grease is collected and used to develop biofuels.

ROOF DRAINAGE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONJulius A. Ballanco, PE, CPD, FASPE, President, ASPE Research FoundationWednesday, Oct. 31, 11:30 a.m.–12:45 p.m.The ASPE Research Foundation recently concluded a two-year investigation co-sponsored by IAPMO into the fl ow through roof drains in storm drainage systems. The research produced surprising results, verifying that the current sizing method actually facilitates failures dur-ing microbursts, or 100-year storms. This presentation will review the new recommended sizing method for storm drainage systems—one of the most signifi cant changes to plumbing system design in the last 50 years that every plumbing engineer needs to know.

PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT

PERC REPORT ON REDUCED FLOWS IN BUILDING DRAINSPeter DeMarco, Senior Director of Special Programs, IAPMOTuesday, Oct. 30, 8:30–9:45 a.m.This presentation will detail the results of the Plumbing Effi ciency Research Coalition’s drainline transport research on reduced fl ows in building drains—a multi–factorial designed experiment to measure the impact of the toilet fi xture on drainline transport relative to other plumbing system variables, such as pitch and fl ush volume. Attendees will learn about the results of this research and the recommended next steps to further understand the implications of reduced fl ows on our sanitary plumbing systems.

SPECIFICATION & DRAWING COORDINATIONDennis J. Hall, FAIA, FCSI, SCIP, Founder/Managing Principal, Hall Architects Inc. & CEO, HALL | Building Information GroupNina M. Giglio, CSI, CCS, Assoc. AIA, SCIP, President, HALL | Building Information GroupTuesday, Oct. 30, 10–11:15 a.m.The importance of drawings and specifi cations in the design and construction process will be explored, including appropriate locations for information and how the contract documents should work together. Attendees will learn how to coordinate procurement and contract-ing requirements with technical specifi cations and how to develop a project specifi cation from a commercially available master guide. The methods of specifying, organization structures for building information, and enforcement of specifi cations during construction will also be reviewed.

PLUMBING SPECIFICATION DEVELOPMENTWilliam Petro, President, Allied Technical ServicesTuesday, Oct. 30, 3:45–5 p.m.Clients rely on plumbing engineers to create designs that meet their building requirements, pass government inspection, and stay on bud-get. When plumbing specifi cations are written properly, specs are held, and time and money are saved. At this session, attendees will learn how to write clear and concise specifi cations that leave little ambiguity and provide information on the essential function of the equipment, materials, installation, and product performance, as well as understand how creating a 3D project in Revit can ensure that the system will work together before a pipe is installed.

WORKING OVERSEAS: LONG-DISTANCE PLUMBING DESIGN PROJECTSDan Murphy, CPD, PE, LEED AP, Senior Vice President and Director of Codes and Standards, Environmental Systems Design Inc. Wednesday, Oct. 31, 8:30–9:45 a.m.To become a global player, you typically have two options: sign an agreement with a client for a project in another part of the world or set up shop in another country and market your services without any spe-cifi c project in place. This session provides advice on overcoming the challenges of both options, including obtaining a license, fi nding staff, moving your family, dealing with emergencies and cultural differences, and making actual, real money.
