Medical Gas Industry
by Eduward J. Lyczko, IPP, FASSE, Cleveland Clinic
This article discusses the importance and availability of a third-party certification of facilities maintenance personnel. The Cleveland Clinic requires its outsourced maintenance contractors' personnel to be ASSE certified which in turn has helped lift the level of piped medical gas distribution systems maintenance program to the next plateau.

Conference & Trade Show
Exploring the Winning Ways - November 2-4, 2011
Indiana Convention Center
100 S Capitol Ave
Indianapolis IN 46225
Just a couple of the topics discussed at the conference:
Toward Net-Zero Energy Facilities
- Explore the four basic concepts and types of Net Zero energy
- Determine the best Net Zero concept / approach as it relates to a facility
- See examples or real applications that can make a difference in reducing the consumption of energy
Get an introduction and explanation of the basic concepts, ideas, and goals of achieving Net Zero Energy. We will focus on 3 or 4 specific concepts that will relate to facilities, give examples for effective decision making regarding new construction projects and a series of ideas to modify existing facilities with the objective of directly reducing energy costs.

Using Technology to Maintain Joint Commission Standards for Critical Systems
- Use technology to determine weak areas in building codes and problems that could breach regulatory and compliance standards
- Review dashboards that centralize critical equipment operational data and develop proactive maintenance plans to reduce loss and medico-legal liabilities
- Explore the use of installed infrastructures to expand systems in one or multiple buildings locally, regionally or globally to create standardization and reduce maintenance costs
Facility managers always need to look for new opportunities to better maintain their buildings, whether it is reducing cost, recognizing inefficiencies or increasing quality to maintain regulatory and compliance standards. The convergence of technologies in building management and the increasing use of Wi-Fi technology are driving paradigm shifts in the way directors manage their businesses. Learn how to use technology to centrally monitor critical systems and how to use an installed Wi-Fi infrastructure to expand and control critical systems to create standards and improve patient care.
