Industrial real estate has seen dramatic shifts in recent years. Low vacancy rates and limited space options in many markets has led to a boom of investment and development. Even during the pandemic, the industrial sector has continued to thrive, thanks in part to the high demand for e-commerce. This surge, however, has brought new tenant demands for better technology, smarter space design and greater operational efficiency. Owners and property managers are challenged with ensuring their industrial assets are sufficiently capable of meeting the new tenant demands.
During this one-day program from noon to 5:00 pm ET, industry experts will discuss the many trends impacting industrial real estate and the long–term outlook for the sector. Participants will learn the steps owners and managers should be taking to create asset value, improve operations, and attract and retain industrial tenants. Plus, you’ll have an opportunity to interact with service providers offering the latest technologies and solutions for industrial properties.

One of the most valuable processes for a new or modified HVAC system is air and water balancing, says AABC. Unfortunately, it has become business-as-usual during construction for balancing to be squeezed between equipment start-up and owner move-in. Whereas equipment start-up schedules tend to slip, and owner move-in dates are cast-in-stone, time for proper balancing is often woefully short and sometimes non-existent. Combine this with the fact that testing, adjusting, and balancing (TAB) is considered an end-of construction activity, there is little attention paid to preparing for successful balancing off the schedule’s critical path. This AIA-approved webinar in AABC’s TAB Talk series will recommend steps that can be taken, starting at contract award and extending through TAB Report submittal, to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of balancing at the end of construction, a benefit to contractors and owners alike. CECs: AIA 1 LU. Presenters: Rebecca Ellis, PE, CxA; Miles Ryan, Questions and Solutions Engineering; and Pat Young, TBE, CxA, Test and Balance Corporation. When: 2:00 PM Eastern / 1:00 PM Central / 12:00 PM Mountain / 11:00 AM Pacific. Free for AABC, ACG and EMA members.
