Go for the Gold: 15th Annual
Scholarship
Golf Tournament Stills Needs Players
With three gold-level sponsors—Facility Solutions
Group and The Hawkins Group, anticipation is building for
the New Mexico Facility Managers Network Scholarship Golf Tournament on Friday
morning, July 17th, at the beautiful Isleta Eagle Championship Golf
Course, with 7:30 am range balls and an 8:30 am tee-time. If your company has
not pledged their support, there is still time!
Adding to the excitement, Voss Lighting will again
sponsor the hole-in-one contest and the pledges of door prize donations are
accumulating. Ask anyone who has participated in this event: it is the
best-run, most prize-filled networking experience for the people who manage our
facilities and the suppliers who support them.
This annual fundraiser is the primary source of
funding for scholarships benefitting students pursuing the mechanical trades at
both the University of New Mexico and at Central New Mexico Community College.
To date, almost $40,000.00 has been contributed to these academic institutions.
Two tournaments run simultaneously: players can
register for the “scramble” format tournament where NMFMN will pair you in an
ABCD player arrangement so that all participants can enjoy the game. But the
trend continues where companies register complete foursomes to compete in the
“championship” format, playing for the travelling trophy. Last year all three
“9”s were dominated by the golfers who teed off in a shotgun start.
PLEASE REGISTER TODAY!
Register below or call Executive Director Carolee
Griffin at 505-263-2176 for instant registration.

July 09 Executive Director’s Column
With
over one hundred golfers already signed in for our 15th
annual Golf Tournament and Scholarship fundraiser, please call me today
to let me know that you will on hand bright and early on Friday, July 17th,
at the Isleta Eagle Golf Course to help me register players, collect
door prizes, and perform the hundred other small and large tasks which
make the event run smoothly. Even if you are not playing, your help is
appreciated and necessary.
I especially need more door prize donations to
make the event even more special. You and your company will receive
notice in the newsletter, on the website, and at the tournament for your
generosity. If you have company-logoed anything—hats, mugs, pens—bring
them with you on the day of the party. Better still, remember that we
LOVE dinners for two, anything golf-related, tools, gift certificates,
wine, etc. Bring your donation (plastered with your business cards)
with you that morning, or call me and I will arrange to get the goodies
picked up.
The New Mexico Facility Managers Network golf
tournament is known for the dozens of door prizes we give away during
the luncheon, post-event. Please be generous and help me make this one
another record-setter. If you have not signed up to participate, it is
not too late. Visit the
website at
www.nmfmn.com to play or all me at 505-263-2176 cell or email me at
carolee@nmfmn.com to let us know how you will support this worthy
cause this year.

NMFMN Suppliers:
Plan Now
To Support October’s Trade Show
Still
in the planning stages but back by popular demand, the New Mexico
Facility Managers Network will host a mini-trade show beginning at noon
on Friday, October 30, 2009, at a location to be announced soon. Here
is the chance for suppliers to showcase the products and services that
enable facility professionals to efficiently manage their buildings.
Also invited to swell the ranks at the event
are facility manager members of the New Mexico Society for Healthcare
Engineering (NMSHE), the International Facility Management Association
(IFMA), and the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA).
Each participating supplier must agree to
donate a door prize valued at $100.00 or more in exchange for table
space at the show. Facility managers only are eligible for these prizes
but suppliers will be permitted to collect business cards from the
attendees in exchange for their participation. Facility managers should
come armed with multiple business cards to be eligible for the multiple
drawings.
The usual cost for refreshments--$35.00 for
members, $40.00 for non-members—will be charged. Need for information
on this special event? Email

Architecture 2030
E-News Bulletin
1.
Feds: Carbon Neutral by 2025
2. State of Illinois adopts The 2030 Challenge
3. City of Vancouver adopts The 2030 Challenge
Feds: Carbon Neutral By 2025
Santa Fe (July 7, 2007) - Representative
Tom Udall (D-New Mexico) recently introduced a landmark bill calling on
the federal government to get its house in order by going carbon neutral
by 2025. The Udall bill, H.R. 2947, establishes aggressive and
achievable energy performance standards for all new and renovated
federally-owned and federally-funded buildings. Federally-owned
buildings would need to achieve an immediate 60-percent reduction in
fossil-fuel energy consumption compared to the regional average for each
building type. The bill also calls for declining fossil-fuel consumption
in the amount of 70% by 2011, 80 %
by 2015, 90% by 2020, and 100% (or carbon neutral) by 2025.
Since building operations,
(i.e. heating, lighting, cooling) account for 43% of all US greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions annually, about 50% when building construction is
included, any talk about addressing global warming and growing GHG
emissions must include robust action in the Building Sector. With the
federal government being the country's biggest landlord, it has a
responsibility to act decisively in this area.
What is unique about the Udall bill is
that it casts a wide net over the Building Sector by including all
federally-funded buildings built or renovated with 10% or more of
federal funds. These buildings would need to achieve a minimum 50%
fossil-fuel consumption reduction as called for by The 2030 Challenge
issued by Architecture 2030, and adopted by the US Conference of Mayors
(USCM), American Institute of Architects (AIA), US Green Building
Council (USGBC) and states of Illinois and New Mexico, among others.
This reduction standard would also increase over time so that by 2030,
if you receive 10 percent or more of federal funds for construction,
your building must be designed to be carbon neutral, meaning it would
use no fossil-fuel energy to operate.
In his statement on the House floor, Udall
said, “This legislation takes up The 2030 Challenge, issued by Ed Mazria
of the organization Architecture 2030…
Organizations,
architects, local governments, and individuals wanting to do their part
have all taken up this challenge. The US Conference of Mayors has
adopted it for all buildings in all cities. It is time for the federal
government to do so as well."
The Udall bill would also extend the
Energy Policy Act of 2005 (set to expire in 2008) for another five
years, and provide adequate tax incentives for those in the private
sector who follow the Feds' lead. This would help those cities and
states with GHG initiatives meet their reduction targets in the Building
Sector. "Many of the tax provisions [in the Energy Policy Act] are not
only scheduled to expire in 2008, but in the estimation of many, were
also set at amounts too low to spark the level of construction and
efficiency improvements needed" to transform the Building Sector, Udall
said. The Udall bill would increase the residential tax credit from
$2000 to $4500 per unit and the commercial buildings tax deduction from
$1.80/sf to $2.75/sf for buildings that meet the 50% energy consumption
reduction target. Since the commercial building tax incentive is a
deduction and not a credit (worth about $0.30 to $0.40 cents on the
dollar) anything less than $2.75/sf will do little to spur a real
transformation in this sector.
According to Ed Mazria of Architecture
2030, "The Udall bill is clearly the most comprehensive and important
climate change bill working its way through Congress today. It deals
with real Building Sector GHG emissions reductions and provides adequate
financial incentives for states, cities and counties to make good on
their pledge to address global warming."
Other important Building Sector bills in
Congress of special note include the Clinton/Kerry bill (S 1059) and the
Waxman bill (H.R. 2635), which would both require that all new and
renovated federal buildings meet The 2030 Challenge targets.
