Central Kitsap School District Strikes it Rich with Commissioning
By: Kyle Stuart - Wednesday, April 15, 2009
Source: BetterBricks.com
The fourth grade classrooms are too warm. A motor is broken. The vice principal’s office is stuffy. A louver is stuck. What happens when problems like this crop up in most school districts? How do they impact the building’s energy use? How does it detract from the quality of the teaching and learning? Can most school districts even begin to answer these questions? At the Central Kitsap School District, the core team of facilities professionals know exactly what is going on in each school, and how it impacts utility costs district-wide. The ongoing commissioning they undertake improves the indoor environment for both students and teachers, and saves the district hundreds of thousands of dollars each year.

Dealing with Asbestos during Renovations or Demolitions
By: BOMI International - Sunday, February 10, 2008
Source: Bomi International
Dealing with asbestos is a reality for many demolition and construction projects. Because asbestos has been shown to cause a number of serious health problems, abatement or containment of asbestos must be addressed with the utmost seriousness. By developing contingency plans as well as following safety guidelines, it is possible to minimize the danger asbestos poses. A renovation or demolition plan must address the possibility of finding and having to deal with asbestos. This is for both health reasons and the need to comply with state, federal, and local regulations in relation to asbestos.
