While we work hard with clients on deferred maintenance, capital planning, and overall energy savings, a lot goes on behind the scenes to make it happen. As 2015 is coming to a close, and we spend time reflecting, we wanted to share a few of this year’s highlights and what continues to drive us here at Performance Solutions.

Team Bonding 

We work hard to increase the bottom line for our clients, but we wouldn’t be anywhere without our family. Pictured here is a snapshot from our team event at Top Golf.  We spend an afternoon with our co-workers and family enjoying food and laughter.

Our Partners
Our partners are critical to offering our clients world class service and value that reduces deferred maintenance and increase capital planning capacity. Pictured below are team members from BCS headquarters in Wichita and KMC Controls headquarters working to review controls set up at a client site.

Customer Presentation

We consider it an honor to work with our clients. It takes teamwork to ensure energy reduction goals are met. Pictured below is Larry Weber with the Garvey Center who presented to Performance Solutions clients in our new Command Center at Wichita Headquarters.

Conferences

Collaboration is key to what we do. We believe true industry change won’t come to our unless we share, listen, and learn from each other. At Performance Solutions, Dave Mosby leads efforts to bolster our Building Intelligence technology and Asset Management offerings.  This year he was featured speaker at multiple conferences sharing lessons learned from his 20+ years of experience. We are so proud to have his on the team!

Kansas City Move

This year we became an official resident of Kansas City, Missouri. To the right is a picture of the Kansas City skyline during the World Series, lit in blue is Union Station.  It’s been a great year to be in KC (Go Royals!) and we’re looking forward to the adventures 2016 has in store for us.

Posted in Ken’s Metaphors for Success

Our founder and President, Ken Stoppel, shares his experiences and advice.

Here’s Ken’s Metaphor for Success #11:

If I could choose three words that epitomize a preferred code of honor, in conducting business, or interacting with those in our inner circle, those words would be…. Honesty, Dignity, and Respect. 

With all due respect… Unless I’m missing something… Correct me if I’m wrong, but…

As stated, we all make mistakes.  That’s how we learn and get better.  When you find fault with what someone has done, or said, do so with Honesty, Dignity, and Respect.  Believe me, in professional circles, “what goes around, comes around”.  In other words, if you are openly harsh with someone, it will likely come back to you in greater numbers.  In my experience, whether you’re correcting someone, terminating someone, or simply disagreeing with someone, you can do so with Honest, Dignity, and Respect.  Additionally, when you are in that situation, you can almost always diffuse a difficult moment by using one of three phrases to preface your message, “With all due respect… Unless I’m missing something, or… Correct me if I’m wrong, but…”  All people will be right some of the time, but no one is right all of the time.

Hospital HallYour HVAC equipment and controls are speaking to you. Their language is data. And this data is accessible with a Building Intelligence Program in place, but many teams either lack the staff count to spend time reviewing building data or may not have been trained to know where to look in the first place.

Our expert team has come up with the 5 most overlooked data points that can help you optimize your healthcare facility operations.

Space Temperature Trend logs

This is one of the fastest, easiest and most accurate methods to verify temperature setback controls are working correctly.

Equipment run time logs compared to building loads

Are you running two chillers even though the load can be handled by one chiller? This happens most commonly with boilers.

Variable speed drive loading logs

Are your vfds ramping up and down with the load?  If a vfd stays at full speed there may either be an equipment problem or an opportunity to achieve energy savings.

Reheat valve position logs

Are all of the reheat valves on an air handler modulated?  If so, there may be an opportunity to perform supply air reset and achieve energy savings. The same condition applies to monitoring chilled water temperature and the most critical air handler chilled water valves.

Equipment cycling logs

Are all of the compressors on a condensing unit receiving the same number of starts?  If not, the compressor that is cycling the most may be in danger of premature failure.

Using these 5 data points will help you understand how your healthcare facility is functioning and learn what you can do to improve efficiency. For more info, or to talk with one of our experts, contact BCS Performance Solutions.
