 Track 1 - Capital Ideas | Track 2 - Sustainability | Track 3 - Resource Management | Track 4 - Special Topic | Track 5 - In-depth Sessions Track 1 - Capital Ideas (CI) The Art and Science of Capital Planning
While a facilities investment plan may be technically sound, its success is not assured without the support of the community. Learn how two universities used both the "art and science" of benchmarking to develop facilities initiatives, gain sustainable constituent support and shape their future.
This presentation will discuss practical tools that may be employed to analyse the total life cycle cost of energy intensive equipment. Topics covered include adding value through economic analysis, integrating life cycle analysis with the purchasing process and factoring in the long term cost consequences of investments. The Business Case of Sustainability
There is a growing understanding that sustainability done right can deliver triple bottom line benefits (environment, economic, and social). This session will examine the business case for incorporating sustainability as a core element of facilities management including energy savings, increased productivity, enhanced reputation, risk-reduction and reduced absenteeism. In addition, training opportunities in this area will be explored. Making Sustainability a Key Driver for Campus Utility MasterPlanning at the University of New Brunswick
Through a proactive planning process, the University of New Brunswick is creating sustainable utility concepts for the future that complement the 50-year plan for campus growth. This presentation discusses the utility master planning process at the University of New Brunswick and its attention to sustainability principles. Reacting to the past or planning for the future?
This presentation describes the innovative facilities planning project partnership undertaken at Wellesley College to integrate clear College policy and decision-making with cutting-edge capital planning strategies. The approach at Wellesley applied techniques for assessing existing facilities conditions, planning for an ever changing academic and student program demand, developing costs to address these needs, identifying mechanisms to finance them, and ultimately creating tools to sustain the effort going forward. An Integrated Design Process: Lessons Learned from theMassachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
An in-depth discussion of the evolution of the integrated design process at the new Sloan School of Management at MIT with the Client, Architect, and MIT Director of Engineering. Topics discussed include establishing sustainability goals, objectives and strategies for the project; developing conceptual approaches to achieve the goals consistent with the project schedule and budget and building an integrated project team that thinks across traditional discipline boundaries. Benchmarking Your Facility Condition Needs
How does your institution's facilities compare to those of your peers? Benchmarking your facility condition requirement costs and lifecycle replacement value can provide valuable insights into how to target capital spending. As a key step in the process of optimizing your facilities, benchmarking can provide an organization with a diagnosis of actual performance and measure the potential for improvement. |
