�� 2:30–3:45pm OPENING SESSION: Show Them the Money — Justifying Critical Facilities MaintenanceOperations and Maintenance StrategiesScott Offermann, Managing Director, Critical Operations Manager, Cushman & Wakefield; Steve Smith, CFM, CFMJ, MFE Manager, Data Center/Critical Systems, Arvest Bank, and Edward Sullivan Editor, Building Operating Management MagazineIn practically every critical facility-be it a data center, hospital or lab-funding for essential maintenance can be difficult to come by. One of the biggest challenges: The facility depart-ment is seen as a cost center, and spending on facility infrastructure projects is not seen as an ROI opportunity. Even when top management understands the value of maintenance, a critical facility project still has to compete with other corporate funding demands, especially those seen as increasing revenue. There’s always the possibility that the IT team won’t want to take a chance by having a big piece of facility equipment off line. But there are ways to over-come common objections, and our panel of mission-critical facility professionals will provide insights into how they were able to justify a variety of maintenance initiatives by effectively communicating risks, benefits and true cost of ownership concepts.Learning Objectives:1. Understand key reasons critical facilities maintenance is not consistently funded 2. Learn how to communicate the benefits of preventive maintenance and the risks of deferred maintenance to upper management 3. Review success stories that demonstrate successful strategies for obtaining critical facility maintenance funding

�� 3:30–5:00pmProject Spotlight: Utilization of Computer Room Cooling InfrastructureProject Spotlight Lars Strong, PE, Senior Engineer, Upsite TechnologiesA worldwide study of major data centers revealed that the average computer room has cooling capacity that is nearly four times the IT heat load. When running cooling capacity is excessively over-implemented, potentially large operating cost reductions are possible by turning off cooling units and/or reducing fan speeds for units with variable frequen-cy drives (VFD). Using data from 45 sites reviewed by Upsite Technolo-gies, this presentation will show how you can calculate, benchmark, in-terpret, and benefit from a simple and practical metric called the Cooling Capacity Factor (CCF). Calculating the CCF is the quickest and easiest way to determine cooling infrastructure utilization and potential gains to be

realized by airflow management improvements.Learning Objectives:1. Discuss the current state of computer room cooling 2. Review the results of cooling capacity over-implementation 3. Evaluate energy data from 45 data center sites 4. Learn how to use the Cooling Capacity Factor metric to determine infrastructure utilization

CMMS for Critical FacilitiesOperations and Maintenance StrategiesMartin T. Olsen, Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing, TSS, Inc.Computerized Maintenance Management System or CMMS is far more than an asset management tool. Too often the CMMS system, whether home-grown or supported, is used as a repository for data that never makes it out the other end as useful information to the operators, users and more importantly owners of the equipment, but rather becomes a “black-hole” of unmeasured and unmonitored data with some lookup capability. This session will focus on how to use a CMMS system as a valuable tool in analyzing the data captured and turning it into measurable cost reductions in parts and work management, frequency of maintenance, predictive failure analysis and risk mitigation strategies while maintaining or improving reliability of the system.Learning Objectives:1. Identify ways in which a CMMS can be used to drive improvements in systems reliability 2. Determine how to use a CMMS system as a valuable tool in analyzing the data 3. Learn how captured data can be turned into measurable cost reductions in parts and work manage-ment, frequency of maintenance, predictive failure analysis and risk mitigation strategies

Project Spotlight: The Challenge of Mission-Critical Bearing ProtectionProject SpotlightAdam Willwerth, Sales and Marketing Manager, Electro Static TechnologyMotors in the Computer Room Air Conditioning (CRAC) systems in a data center in the NYC area expe-rienced 25 percent motor bearing failure from VFD induced bearing currents. To solve this problem an AEGIS split-ring grounding ring was selected that could slip around an in-service motor’s shaft eliminat-ing the need to remove and realign the sheaves and belts driving the fan wheel, and allowed for quick in-stallation with minimal down time. Before installation, bearing currents were reading with peak-to-peak voltages of 24 to 38 volts with continuous bearing discharges. After the rings were installed, the shaft voltage was below 3 volts peak-to-peak with all the shaft currents safely discharging through the rings.Learning Objectives:1. Understand why uptime and reliability is key for all systems 2. Analyze how VFD driven motors fail from bearing currents 3. Review how shaft grounding rings save motor bearings4. Discuss how investment in prevention creates huge ROI
