Community Value: Conserve Energy and Funds Through Smart Practices

It’s a win-win situation when community association efforts work to conserve both energy and the almighty dollar. Implementing ideas to cut costs especially is an important and valuable contribution a community manager can bring to his or her associations.

Be prepared and learn to help your boards make informed decisions about energy conservation practices and large maintenance investments that will ultimately prove cost-effective.

Evaluate cost-saving opportunities by:
• Knowing why a utility audit is essential
• Reviewing California’s Building Energy Efficiency Standard (Title 24, Part 6) and cool roof technologies
• Understanding solar alternatives to air and water heating, pool heating and electricity, in addition to current tax credits and incentives
• Discussing alternative funding scenarios with a reserve expert

Also, determine how alternative materials in roofing, siding, fencing and plumbing stack up against traditional materials when it comes to cost-savings, ROI, longevity and effect on homeowner value.

Schedule
• Registration and Continental Breakfast: 8:00 am
• Program: 8:30 am – 12:30 pm
• Post Event Wrap-up: 12:30 - 1:00 pm

Facilities Management Conferences provide depth and dimension to the professional education curriculum. When dealing with contractors and service providers, managers need to have knowledge of many maintenance components in the community association. These conferences demystify the maintenance process and provide insight into contractor licensing and insurance requirements and offer instruction on a variety of safety and building maintenance issues. Offered on a semi-annual basis, the Northern and Southern California Facilities Management Conferences are tailored to the individualized needs of the conference region. During the half-day conference, you will hear experts speak on a variety of topics chosen to match the maintenance requirements of the season.

CCAMs who attend one full conference program receive 4 classroom CEUs.

CACM events are routinely sold out. Registration must be submitted the Friday prior to the event date to ensure attendance. Registration at door is available, but not guaranteed, after this day. Participation at CACM events is restricted to community managers and service providers.
