From the President’s Desk

Call for Volunteers – Join a Winning Team By Raffy Espiritu FMP, President, AFE Silicon Valley

We need your help! Our chapter is on the march and is creating increasing visibil-ity among facility professionals and service providers. Review-ing our track record for the past year and the first half of this year, the chapter has amazing accomplishments winning three awards last year under Bob Adamo’s leadership while the momentum continues unabated as we moved on to the current year. Since the successful kick-off at the LinkedIn in January, the chapter has completed four well-attended Lunch and Learn events and an outstanding “A Day with a Facilities Profession-al” at LinkedIn on May 3.

Our membership base is grow-ing, student chapters in promi-nent universities are forming,

and education programs are well attended. Meanwhile, the need to expand membership and attract sponsors, develop the education programs of the chapter, formulate a functional certification program for our members, not to mention a number of new initiatives that include publishing a chapter di-rectory, holding an Evening with Industry event with students and professionals, planning for mixers and other fun events are imposing tremendous pressure on the chapter to ask for help from each one of our members.

Accomplishments would not be reality without the super-charged board that the chapter is blessed to have. But we could not depend on a handful of pro bono volunteers to sustain the

chapter’s growth and tackle new challenges. We need to expand our army of devoted profession-als to move the chapter forward to even higher levels of perfor-mance and value to members.

An Urgent AppealSo I am making an urgent appeal to every member to stand up and be counted by considering participating as a volunteer to any of the tasks that are before us. We are not asking for the impossible. We are presenting a menu of projects and tasks and we leave it up to you to de-fine what you are comfortable contributing in terms of inter-est and time. Our chapter Vice President Jim Elder, of CAPS described the areas where one can get involved as shown in the table on the next page:

Reinhard’s Code Corner #96

2013 California Codes AvailableThe months of April and May have been very significant for all California businesses. ICC (International Code Conference) has finally finished publishing the 2013 California Build-ing, Fire and Mechanical Codes. Go to the ICC website and place your order www.iccsafe.org. Remember they are effective July 1. Be aware that the Fire Code has been completely reformatted. I strongly recommend that all in-terested parties purchase a hard copy of this document. The formatting change could be-come a burden both to novice uses as well as veterans.

The 2015 Code hearings occurred this month. The hearings were not well attended with only a few California representatives. Those

few individuals participated in the development process. The final adoption vote will occur in No-vember in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Let’s hope the few attendees are wise.

The month of May has brought us a few good questions:

Question #1: I am the Project Manager of a new semi-conductor fab. The engineers want to put all solvent chemicals, delivery and waste in piping, the way the fire code requires. We have a small collection tank in the sub fab. Does the waste collection tank need a vent?I am glad to see you are piping all of the hazard-ous materials. You are correct; the tank is special. The question is “How large is the tank”? If the tank is less than 60 gallons – no special venting is required. I do recommend a vent to capture any vagrant emissions. Now if you made that tank greater than 60 gallons you will be required to have two vents: a normal vent and an emergency vent designed to be consistent with the require-ments of NFPA 30. My strong recommendation is to size the tank less than 60 gallons.

Question #2: The fire codes all require compatibility of piping and containers for hazardous materials. Where can I find a definitive list of chemical compatibilities?Congratulations. You have nailed a primary

Silicon Valley AFE Board Makes a Special Request to Its MembersI would like to direct your at-tention to a table on page 3 that lists a number of important tasks for which the AFE Silicon Valley Board of Directors is seeking volunteers. Please take a couple of minutes to consider the larger responsibilities, or perhaps a short term project listed in the third column.

As you may know, AFE is a vol-unteer organization, and all of the board members also have responsibilities to their employ-ers or employees. The reason we, as members of the board, serve is to promote the Asso-ciation for Facilities Engineering because we believe in the good that the chapter can do in the Silicon Valley and beyond.

We believe that these benefits are many. Benefits range from members reaching out to other members to:

• Share their on-the-job suc-cesses and challenges with others

• Connect with training or educational resources to help the member or a staff person achieve a promotion or solve a problem

• Find an associate they trust who has a solution to a common problem

You may have other reasons why you chose to join the AFE Silicon Valley. If so, I would like to hear from you!

As a member of the chapter, we are appealing to you to find a way to help. The table on page 3 includes big and small projects. I urge you to take a look and see where you might fit in.

As I like to say, Many volun-teers make for light work by all and enhanced relationships.

It is these enhanced relation-ships that provide another benefit of AFE membership, namely Facilities and Vendor Members who make it a priority to do more business with other Chapter Members. I firmly be-lieve that in working together as colleagues, we will make for an even more dynamic Chapter.

Call Chapter President, Raffy Es-piritu (408-330-9350) or Chap-ter VP. Jim Elder (408-781-5959) to inquire on any of the tasks or responsibilities shown on page 3. Thank you.

On April 25, approximately 25 professionals attended the AFE Lunch & Learn on the subject of Best Practices in Power Dis-tribution Systems to Achieve Harmonic Mitigation and Effi-ciency. Our host, David Knight of BD Biosciences, could not have provided a more perfect

meeting room, lunch box, warm hospitality and participation in the meeting. Jeff Turner, ME, P.E., VP Engineering, Power Quality International was so professional in his presentation and Q&A. The questions just kept on coming and AFE Board members “had to sort of force the meeting to a close.”

BREAKING NEWS

Juniper Networks will host 2014 “Day with a Facilities Professional”

John Lucas, Vice Presi-dent of Global Real Estate & Workplace

Services at Juniper Networks Inc. confirmed with AFE Silicon Valley Chapter President Raffy Espiritu his intention to host “Day with a Facilities Profes-sional” 2014. The exact date will be announced as soon as it is chosen after consulting the academic calendars of the participating schools that include Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, San Jose State, Santa Clara University and Cal Maritime Academy.

About Juniper NetworksJuniper Networks is leading the revolution in networking, making it one of the most excit-ing technology companies in Silicon Valley today. Since being founded by Pradeep Sindhu, Den-nis Ferguson, and Bjorn Liencres more than 14 years ago, Juniper’s sole mission has been to cre-ate innovative products and solutions that meet the growing demands of the connected world. Juniper is pioneering innovation on the net-work with the New Network, an architecture that is comprised of network hardware innova-tions supported by a consistent, unique, single operating system, Junos, as well as client and server-based software products that enhance network performance and user experience. Juniper Networks [NYSE: JNPR] is headquartered at 1194 N. Mathilda Ave. Sunnyvale, California. The company has over 9,000 employees in 70 coun-tries with over $4 billion in revenue. Its custom-ers include the top 100 global service providers, 30,000 enterprises, including all of the Global For-tune 100, as well as hundreds of federal, state and

local government agencies and higher educational organizations.

About John LucasJohn Lucas is Vice President of Global Real Estate & Workplace Services for Juniper Networks Inc. John has worked for Juniper Networks for nearly ten years and has the responsibility of managing a worldwide portfolio of real estate assets and related workplace services including corporate design and construction, project management, transaction management, strategic space plan-ning, property management, facilities operations. His 35-person global organization supports 9,000 Juniper employees located in over one hundred office and R&D locations worldwide.

Note from Stan Nakaso, DWFP ChairJohn will be a wonderful advocate to the AFE or-ganization. Our chapter is really fortunate to have John volunteer his time and share his facility with students and hosts at the next DWFP event.

I’m looking forward to having John participate in 2014 DWFP. It’s not often I get an opportunity to connect with a former facility classmate and hear about his career journey. I’m grateful John will be able to share his experiences with the students and hosts as the Juniper Network campus is a ter-rific example of the modern corporate campus that challenges the facility professional.

Note: Stan Nakaso and John Lucas attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo together years ago. Both originally chose classical engineering majors and changed to Industrial Technology/Facility Management to take advantage of the multidiscipline responsibilities of Facilities Engineering.

requirement of the fire codes. The need for proper primary containment is paramount and the responsibility of all engineers. The resources are many and data is published in a variety of venues. The publications by NACE (National Association

of Corrosion Engineers) is a great source. There are a variety of manufacturers that publish critiqued data for material compatibility. When in doubt, I always use two sources and if they agree I use that data.

any number of failures are just an aberration and work to fix them as they happen. But at this meet-ing all of us in the audience realized that our col-leagues have the same failures, and as a group we learned more about the source of the problem. An increase of destructive harmonic currents in power distribution systems are occurring as a re-sult of the explosive growth of non-linear loads on power distribution systems, e.g. computers, serv-ers, variable frequency everything, and anything

that has an AC to DC power supply conversion. We also learned of some options to correct the pow-er distribution system problems.

I believe that many departed feeling Alex Man-

drusov and the AFE had again provided them real value for their careers and provided them with an opportunity to meet fellow professionals who can offer support and solutions to common problems. As AFE SV Education Chair, Alex continues to de-serve appreciation and recognition for the great value these AFE events bring to AFE 39, facility professional members, and the guests who attend.

Kim Tamayo was so helpful to welcome our guests as they arrived and throughout. We are so lucky to have her enthu-siasm and talent on our team. Stan Nakaso made a wonderful presentation about AFE 39 efforts to attract students into our profession and up coming DWFP. Alex was a great MC, as always.
