Current Conversations on MyFacilitiesNet:LEDs: Are you on the LED bandwagon yet? Maintenance and engineers better be, according to lighting manufacturers I talked to for my September article on the technology. "We still hear that LEDs are new, and that managers should wait until the technology is improved to make the jump, but that is not the case," said one. "There are always people reluctant to be early adopters, and some of those are facility managers." Click through to find out about the energy savings, sorting through the mountains of information available, and deciding when and how to make the switch. Advice on Controllers for Monitoring Refrigeration Units A myfacilitiesnet.com member has a question about a sensor-based controller for monitoring refrigeration units that he is considering. "I work at the Tokyo American Club in Tokyo, Japan. I've been approached about installing the subject controller (COOLNOMIX AR-01 Energy Saver) on my refrigeration units. I was wondering if any of you have heard of this device, or have had any experience with it." In Case You Missed It: Robert Gosse knows the stampede is coming, and he cannot stop it. Nor does he want to. "We see 850,000 people in 11 days, compared to a hospital, which might see 850,000 people in a year," says Gosse, director of design and construction with Milwaukee World Festival Inc. Find out how Gosse and others upgraded restrooms and facilities to meet the demands, and share a story of how prepared (or unprepared) your facility was for a usage surge.
