LESSONS LEARNED
Length Does Matter
I have noticed a recurring field condition during project reviews that
I think warrants discussion. The condition is the length of piping
between floor drains and their associated traps. While this may seem
to be an insignificant item, I think that once you consider all of the
associated implications, the situation may become of more concern.
inches measured from the centerline of the fixture outlet to the
centerline of the inlet of the trap.”
I found it interesting that one of the contractors called me
later to inform me that the 24-inch maximum dimension only
pertained to lavatories and that floor drains were exempt from the
requirement since they are not a plumbing fixture. I asked
him to go back and review how the code defines a plumbing fixture. The IPC defines a plumbing fixture as “a receptacle or device that is either permanently or temporarily
connected to the water distribution system of the premises
and demands a supply of water therefrom; discharges
wastewater, liquid-borne waste materials, or sewage either
directly or indirectly to the drainage system for the premises; or
requires both a water supply connection and a discharge to the
drainage system of the premises.” Per this definition, I find it very
difficult to define a floor drain as anything other than a plumbing
fixture. (It should be noted that the other model plumbing codes
contain the same language as the IPC.)
Why is this an issue? The length of the tailpiece has a direct correlation to the drain’s susceptibility to trap siphonage. The longer the
tailpiece, the faster the water is moving when it gets to the trap and
the less likely it is to refill the trap properly with tail flow after the
effluent stops. (This can be compounded by improper venting of the
floor drain, but I will not try to explain all of the intricacies of proper
venting in this short column, as many books already have been written on that subject.)
So what does that really mean? It means that we are less likely to
have traps that are functioning to keep sewer gases out of occupied
areas of a building. It will drive a person crazy trying to keep traps
filled with water when the water simply moves through the trap
anyway. However, the problem can be more than just an unpleasant
smell. Another potential issue is SARS. Yes, I know that the United
States did not have a significant problem with SARS when it surfaced
a few years ago, but one of the reasons we did not have a problem was
because our codes require venting and provide for the maintenance
of trap seals. If we did not have this in our codes, then the SARS outbreak may have been a lot closer to home than we would have liked.
Take the time to check the distances in your projects. I was very
surprised to find this issue when I visited four different project
sites within a month. After discussing the issues and reasons why
the tailpieces needed to be smaller, the contractors were very willing to make the changes, but four out of four projects is too large of
odds and really deserves to receive some attention. Now if I could
only get them to read and understand the issue of water hammer
and why we need to have water hammer arrestors… Oh well, that
was an issue a few columns ago.
It will drive a person crazy trying to keep
traps filled with water when the water simply
moves through the trap anyway.
Floor drains and their associated piping are involved in almost
every project, small and large. What I keep finding in the field is
the installation of floor drain piping with a distance between the
floor drain and the trap more than the code-prescribed maximum
24 inches. International Plumbing Code (IPC) Section 1002.1
states: “Each plumbing fixture shall be separately trapped by a
water-seal trap, except as otherwise permitted by this code. The
vertical distance from the fixture outlet to the trap weir shall not
exceed 24 inches, and the horizontal distance shall not exceed 30

FOCUS on FIRE PROTECTION
By Frank Murphy, PE
Room Integrity Considerations for
Clean Agent System Applications
Total-flooding clean agent fire suppression systems are often
specified to protect critical equipment installations such as data
processing and telecommunications centers or storage facilities
for high-value articles or documents that could be damaged or
destroyed by water-based suppression systems. Clean agents
derived their name from the fact that they leave nothing behind
after discharge, and therefore require no post discharge cleanup.
Probably the most well know clean agent is Halon. This suppression
agent was the industry leader in clean agent applications until the
late 1980’s when halogenated hydrocarbon based substances were
determined to play a significant role in ozone depletion. Halon has
subsequently been phased out and replaced with a variety of more
environmentally friendly clean agents. The most popular replacement
for Halon agents was HFC-227ea commonly know by its trade name
FM-200. This popularity was driven by its comparable cost, storage
volume, and concentration requirements, which are very similar to
Halon, making replacement of existing systems relatively easy.
Currently available clean agents can generally be categorized as
either halocarbon agents or inert gas agents. Halocarbon agents,
such as FM-200, suppress fires primarily through a chemical reaction
that interrupts the combustion process. Inert gas agents like IG-541,
commonly known as Inergen, suppress fires by reducing the oxygen
concentration in the protected area to a level below 14%, which yields
an atmosphere with insufficient oxygen to support combustion.
For clean agent suppression systems to function properly the
agent must reach a specified concentration level within the protected area and sustain that level for a specified period of time,
typically 10 minutes. Each agent has its own unique and acceptable
range of concentration levels that must be achieved to ensure extinguishment and prevent re-ignition. It is also important in facilities
that are normally occupied, that the concentrations not exceed the
maximum acceptable level for safe egress from the area after discharge. For example, FM-200 must achieve a minimum concentration level of 6.7 percent to extinguish a flame, and has a maximum
allowable concentration of 10.5 percent for a 5 minute maximum
permitted human exposure time. Similarly, inert gas agents like
Inergen are designed to achieve a 35-40 percent concentration
which reduces the oxygen level in the protected area to between
12–13 percent. This reduced oxygen level is adequate to facilitate
extinguishment as well as provide for a safe egress from the space.
As you can see from these examples the tolerances for acceptable agent concentrations are relatively tight. A variety of factors
goes into determining exactly how much agent must be stored and
discharged to achieve the desired concentration, and that process
is best left to the system manufacturers. The intent of this article
is to focus on a variety of issues that could jeopardize the performance of the suppression system by allowing the agent to leak out
of the room or be mixed with air entering the room, resulting in
dilution of these critical concentration levels.
ENSURING ENCLOSURE INTEGRITY
Providing for proper containment of the agent within the protected
area or enclosure commonly is referred to as “enclosure integrity.”
NFPA 2001 (2008): Standard on Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing
Systems includes procedures for verifying enclosure integrity under
Annex C: “Enclosure Integrity Procedure.” Section C.2.8: “Leakage
Control” provides guidance on identifying sources of leaks as well as
methods for reducing or eliminating the leakage paths.
Two aspects of the enclosure design need to be addressed to
ensure proper enclosure integrity. One is construction of the
enclosure envelope itself, including walls, floors, and ceilings.
The other deals with any required penetration of the enclosure,
including doors, windows, ductwork, pipe, and cables. The fire
protection engineer must ensure that all members of the design
team—including the architect, building systems engineers, and IT
designers—understand how their elements must be designed to
provide proper envelope integrity.

Architectural Considerations
All walls surrounding the protected area should be designed to fully
enclose the area from the structural floor slab to structural slab or
roof deck above. Another acceptable design alternative is to provide
a solid drywall ceiling extending wall to wall over the entire protected area. However, this approach may not be practical in many
installations where access to the ceiling space is required routinely.
When a raised floor system is provided within the space, the
enclosure walls must go all the way to the structural slab. If the
WWW.PSDMAGAZINE.ORG
Figure 1 Door bottom drop seal
Figure 2 Cable tray penetration
raised floor system is continuous throughout the building and
partitions are constructed on top of the raised floor, airtight partitions also must be installed under the floor directly under the
above floor partitions, and all joints must be adequately sealed. If
a removable floor tile spans one of these below-floor partitions, it
should be either permanently sealed in place or provided with a
flexible gasket between it and the wall below. Another alternative
is to discontinue the floor tile at the door opening and provide a
permanent threshold at the opening to which the tile could abut.
Where walls of drywall construction are used, all joints must be
taped and sealed. The wall joints at the structural slab and deck
above also must be caulked from the inside of the room.
Porous block wall construction must be painted or sealed slab
to slab to prevent the agent from passing through the block. Multiple coats of paint or sealant may be required to fully seal the block.
All doors must be provided with door sweeps or drop seals at
the bottom (see Figure 1) and weather stripping around the jam.
Double doors also must be provided with a weather stripped astral.
All doors must be equipped with latching mechanisms and door
closure hardware. Double doors require a closure coordinator to
ensure proper closure sequence. Any doors that cannot be kept
closed should be equipped with automatic hold-open devices.
The release of hold open devices should be controlled by the
clean agent system release control panel such that the doors are
closed on the initial pre-discharge alarm condition to ensure they
have adequate time to close prior to agent discharge.
Windows must be weather stripped around all joints and the
glass to frame, and frame to wall joints must be sealed.
Lightweight ceiling tiles should not be used for suspended ceiling systems. Tiles should weight at least 5 pounds per square foot
to resist lifting out of place when the agent is discharged below the
ceiling level. The installation of ceiling clips may be desirable on
tiles in the immediate area of the discharge nozzles if nozzles are
not equipped with deflectors.
HVAC Considerations
All ductwork penetrations and transfer air openings through the
enclosure envelope must be provided with gasketed low-leak
smoke dampers with flexible seals conforming to UL 555S: Standard for Leakage Rated Dampers for Use in Smoke Control Systems
and be Class I leakage rated. Dampers should be spring loaded
or motor operated to provide near airtight shutoff. The dampers
should be installed as close as possible to the duct’s point of entry
into the room. All duct joints between the damper and the duct
entry point should be sealed. The gap between the damper frame
and the duct wall also should be sealed.
Figure 3 Sleeved cable penetrations
The damper controls should be interfaced with the agent release
system such that the dampers close prior to the discharge of the
agent. If the protected space is provided with in-room air-conditioning units that supply air to a raised floor supply plenum, it is
recommended that these units be shut down to reduce the possibility that they might expel the agent from the below floor area.
Even if a protected enclosure is designed and built to be as tight as
possible, a certain degree of leakage must be expected to occur. During
the retention period, the agent/air mixture, being heavier than air, generally will leak out of lower openings. Air will enter through openings
high in the room at the same rate to replace it. If air-moving devices in
the room are shut down, this incoming air tends to collect at the top of
the room. If the in-room air-conditioning units remain in operation,
they will cause this fresh air to become mixed with the agent and prematurely reduce the concentration level throughout the space.
Any ductwork passing through the protected area also should
be sealed to prevent leakage of air, which might result in a pressure imbalance. Ideally, you want to achieve a condition where the
protected area is neutral in pressure to the surrounding areas.
Consideration should also be given to designing a means for ventilating the space in the event of an agent discharge or a fire event
to aid in the post fire removal of the agent and products of combustion. This ventilation system should be design such that it is manually operated under the control of the fire response personnel.
Plumbing Systems Considerations
All pipe penetrations of the enclosure should be sealed airtight between
the pipe and the wall or floor construction. Where sleeves are provided
for penetrations, the joint between the sleeve and the wall must be
caulked, as well as the void between the sleeve and the pipe passing
through it. Any floor drains located within the protected area should be
provided with seal traps of adequate depth (sometimes referred to as
“deep seal traps”) that they will not be purged by the increase in room
pressure when the agent is discharged. Automatic trap primers also
should be provided to ensure that the traps remain filled at all times.
Timer activated solenoid type trap priming devices are preferred over
pressure actuated units due to their increased reliability and ability to
introduce a greater supply of water to the traps.
Cable Penetration Considerations
Provisions must be made for data cables to enter and exit the room.
This typically is the most challenging aspect of maintaining the
future integrity of the enclosure, given that data center spaces are
constantly undergoing change as the result of equipment upgrades
and extension of new IT services throughout the building.
Cable tray penetrations of the enclosure should be avoided,
as bundles of cables lying in trays are more difficult to seal (see
Figure 2). Where possible, cable trays should be terminated on
DECEMBER 2009 Plumbing Systems & Design 9
FOCUS on FIRE PROTECTION
each side of the enclosure separation, and round conduit or sleeve
penetrations than can be easily
sealed should be provided to allow
for passage of the cables (see Figure
3). A sufficient quantity of spare
sleeves should be provided in the
design to allow for future cable
installation. All unused penetrations for future use should be provided with removable airtight caps
or plugs.
Electrical System
Considerations
In addition to the sealing around
electrical conduit penetrations of
the enclosure wall, penetrations
of the wall for the installation of
electrical devices, such as electrical receptacles, light switches, fire
Figure 4 Fan assembly for door
alarm devices, and similar equipfan test
ment, must be considered. Gasketed cover plates and caulking of the joint between the recessed
electrical box and the surrounding wall area should be specified.
SEALING MATERIALS
In many cases, the enclosure walls may be required to be fire
rated. In these instances, all of the caulking and sealant materi-
10 Plumbing Systems & Design DECEMBER 2009
als required to provide an airtight enclosure also need to be
a UL-listed firestopping material and installed in accordance
with their listing requirements.
If the enclosure walls are not rated, the sealant materials
must be suitable for the environment and materials to which
they will be applied and must have a flame spread rating that
is compatible with the flame spread requirements for the construction of the enclosure.
ENCLOSURE INSPECTION,
TESTING AND LEAK IDENTIFICATION
Upon completion of construction, a thorough visual inspection
of the enclosure must be made to confirm that all of the abovedescribed features have been appropriately incorporated. Be sure
to thoroughly examine the entire enclosure, including above the
ceiling and below the floor for any unsealed penetrations, gaps
in construction, or wall openings that have not been provided
with dampers. Don’t forget to verify sealing of penetrations of the
floor slab below the raised floor and the slab or deck above the
suspended ceiling. Where dampers have been installed, verify
that the proper type has been provided. Any deficiencies identified should be corrected prior to conducting the integrity testing
required by NFPA 2001.
The clean agent discharge system should be disabled prior to
conducting testing of the automatic control sequences to prevent an
unwanted discharge of the agent. All automatic and manual control
sequences then should be activated and verified. The inspection
should confirm proper closure of all dampers, shutdown of HVAC
equipment, and release of any automatic door closures. Once all
openings have been confirmed as properly sealed and the space is
confirmed to be in the agent discharge configuration, the enclosure
is ready for the integrity testing procedure to be conducted.
A door fan test is the commonly accepted integrity testing procedure and is used as an alternative to performing full-function
discharge tests. NFPA 2001 Annex C provides detailed guidance
for conducting this type of test. Generally, this operation utilizes
a specially designed and calibrated fan assembly that is installed
in an entrance doorway to the protected enclosure (see Figure 4).
Pressure-sensing equipment is installed in the room to measure
the static pressure within the space.
During door fan testing, the fan is operated in both a positive
pressure mode and then in a negative pressure mode. The air flow
volume and room pressure measurements observed during the tests
are entered into a computer program, along with data on the room
volume, surface areas, suppression agent type, volume of agent to
be discharged, concentration requirements, and hold time to be
achieved and maintained. The program then calculates theoretical
concentration levels for the space over the required hold time based
on the measured rate of leakage. If the program determines that the
rate of leakage is too high, the enclosure must be re-inspected and
the sources of leakage identified and corrected.
The basic method for locating leakage sources is to use a smoke
pencil or other approved smoke source to check air movement
at all penetrations and enclosure construction joints. The door
fan should be operated to pressurize and depressurize the enclosure while the smoke stick is passed in front of potential leakage
sources and the smoke is observed for movement. Other more
advanced method of determining leakage sources that do not rely
on smoke include the use of highly sensitive acoustical sensors
that can detect air movement through openings or infrared scanning equipment if a temperature difference exists between the
inside and outside of the enclosure.
WWW.PSDMAGAZINE.ORG
EDUCATING THE FACILITY’S O&M AND IT STAFF
Upon successful completion of testing, the fire protection
engineer should undertake one more very important activity:
Educate the owner and operators of the facility of the importance
on maintaining the enclosure integrity. Operations and maintenance training of the clean agent system and controls commonly
are required by most specifications, but training on maintaining
enclosure integrity often is overlooked. The training requirements in the construction specifications should include provisions for informing all facility personnel who potentially could
be involved in future modifications or maintenance of enclosure
on the significance of maintaining the enclosure integrity. The
training should emphasize that uncontrolled modifications of
the enclosure could result in a failure the clean agent system’s
ability to properly suppress a fire.
Requirements and procedures for periodic room integrity
inspections should be explained, and the client should be
advised to establish a documented administrative control
program that includes enclosure integrity maintenance requirements. This program should define procedures for inspecting
and documenting all future modifications to the facility. It
should be pointed out that such a program would eliminate
the requirements for annual inspections per NFPA 2001. The
program also should identify that an analysis of the clean agent
system must be made by a qualified individual if any changes
in the room configuration are proposed that might modify the
volume or arrangement of the protected area. This analysis
would determine if any modifications to the clean agent system
are required, such as reconfiguring the distribution system or
changing the volume of agent required to provide the specified
concentration level.
SUMMARY
The process for ensuring enclosure integrity requires attention
to detail, beginning with development of the construction documents prepared by multiple disciplines on the design team, followed by thorough inspections and testing of the enclosure construction. The process is not complete until all stakeholders in
operating and maintaining the facility are trained and a control
program has been established to ensure the enclosure integrity
is maintained as long as the clean agent system is in service. It is
incumbent upon the project fire protection engineer to ensure
that this process is followed so the successful performance of the
clean agent system can be expected should its operation ever
become required.

DECEMBER 2009 Plumbing Systems & Design 11
By ROY C.E. AHLGREN
HYDRONICS for PLUMBING ENGINEERS
Filling Large Systems
“Why in the world did they do that?”
In reviewing the plans for a very large hydronic system, I noticed
that the designer had included parallel system fill pumps. These
weren’t the large circulating pumps—they were just the small
pumps used for filling the system initially. At first, I thought that
was odd.
Later, a reader of this column wrote to suggest that it would be
useful to discuss the details involved in filling a large, closed loop,
industrial cooling water system. That got me to think about those
parallel fill pumps again.

SMALL SYSTEMS
In the January/February 2004 column “What’s the Pressure?,” I
discussed one of the components of pressure in a hydronic system.
I called it the initial, or cold fill, pressure. That’s the pressure that
must be established when the system is initially vented and filled.
In small systems, a ½-inch or ¾-inch pressure-reducing valve
(PRV) is used to connect the hydronic system to the city water
supply. The valve establishes the initial pressure required to:
• Overcome the elevation difference from the fill point to the
top of the system
• Provide a small residual pressure at the top to allow venting
and prevent boiling in heating systems
Pump
Figure 1 Typical makeup unit
• Ensure that the pump’s suction pressure is adequate to avoid
cavitation and other pump problems
A little PRV is perfectly acceptable in small systems because it
doesn’t take long to fill the system, and the elevation differences
are usually small compared to the available city supply pressure.
After the system is filled and started, the PRV can be used to
replace small losses that will occur over time due to routine
service and changes in system components.
In a large system, the same PRV would not be acceptable
because it would take too long to fill the system. Perhaps the city
supply pressure is not adequate to fill and pressurize the system.
Maybe the system uses glycol-water or some other heat transfer
fluid. A PRV connected to the city supply can only dilute the
system fluid.
The system fill pump, or makeup unit (see Figure 1), is the
solution to all of these large system issues.
TYPICAL MAKEUP UNIT, NORMAL OPERATION
The unit tank contains water or glycol-water. The system is full
of properly pressurized liquid. Small losses over time reduce the
pressure. The fill pump starts on low pressure at the pressure
switch, transferring liquid from the tank through the PRV to the
system. It also stores some liquid under pressure in the makeup
unit diaphragm tank. The pump stops at the high-pressure switch
setting, which can be set higher than the PRV setting to minimize
pump starts due to small losses after the system is filled. The lowwater cutoff prevents pump operation if no liquid is in the tank,
and the alarm signals the need to refill the tank.
INITIAL FILL PROBLEMS
For initial system fill, the PRV could be bypassed, allowing greater
flow (more rapid fill). In fact, the flow could be too great since the
system is empty; therefore, friction loss is minimal.
Imagine a very flat system curve. That’s what the pump “sees”
when it starts to fill the system. The pump will run out on its curve
with all the usual consequences: cavitation, high radial loading on the pump bearings, and maybe even motor overload and
shutdown. It’s possible to keep the pump on its curve by throttling
at the pump discharge or by restricting flow from the system air
vents, but that increases the time required to fill the system.
Pumps in parallel can provide the large initial volume of flow,
with each pump operating on its curve. During initial fill, the
system acts like an open system, so elevation differences have

Water Meters: A Facility’s Cash Register
The City of New York is looking at a unique way to increase public
awareness of water efficiency and help the public interact with the
city to save money by installing publicly accessible water meters in
government buildings. The meters would be installed in building
entrances for everyone to view. Taxpayers can see how waterefficiency strategies are saving their money, and they can notify
the building operator of excessive water usage.
Companies know how much paper towels cost every year, but
they have little knowledge about how much water costs. In some
cases, company owners do not install water-efficient plumbing fixtures or monitor how much water costs because the cost of water
often is covered in their lease agreement.
Cars have gas gauges, so why not put a water gauge on a building? Could this be a way to save companies some money?
My company’s Green Committee meets to discuss ways we can
be green, and energy and water are always topics. This discussion
typically ends with little being done because our water and energy
costs are included in the lease payment. Why should we pay to
install water-efficient plumbing fixtures when it will save our landlord money but not us?
Water and energy cost money. We are in tough economic times,
and people are motivated to follow green practices to reduce water
and energy consumption. The money saved with these meters will
pay for them in a short time. What holds us back from taking action?
Many times it is the absence of water meters. They are easy to install,
easy to monitor, and easy to maintain. So why are they not installed?
This article gives plumbing engineers some tools to sort through
this issue and design a plumbing system with meters to help
owners run efficient organizations.
GREEN LEASES
A 400,000-square-foot, 100-year-old warehouse in my area was renovated into office spaces more than 10 years ago. Because of the layout
of the building, gas and electric meters were installed for each tenant.
In the last few years, it has maintained at least 90 percent occupancy.
The building is surrounded by new offices and condos that are
having difficulty finding tenants with the economic downturn.
How can the old building maintain its high occupancy rate? Tenants say one reason is that they like the flexibility of paying for
their own utilities. In tough times, they can reduce consumption
and see results the next month on their bill. The problem is that
most tenants do not have this ability.
A group called Building Owners and Managers Association International (BOMA) has published the Guide to Writing a Commercial
Real Estate Lease, Including Green Lease Language, which covers
some of these issues. Green leasing helps tenants reap rewards
for reducing water and energy. It is a radical departure for landlords who include energy and water costs in the lease payments.
However, data shows that tenants use less water and energy when
they have meters and pay their own water and energy bills. Green
leases should provide for metering or submetering of electricity
and water. The contract should address the cost and responsibility
of installing the meters, periodically reading the meters, and sharing the data. Landlords and tenants should have the right to actual
usage data and agree on how the data can be used.
At the end of the process, the lease should reward the party who
bears the costs with some or all of the benefits so there is an appropriate return on investment and payback period. This can be a win
for the tenant because they can control their water and energy usage
and take operational measures to reduce consumption. As a result,
they will reap the rewards of lower water and energy bills. The community benefits by the reduced energy and water usage.

Another unseen benefit of individual meters is that companies
are more concerned about community efforts to reduce water
and sewer usage. We no longer can simply build a new water and
sewer treatment plant to match development. Many municipalities are realizing that they are going to have to undergo expensive
infrastructure upgrades. Combined storm water and sewer systems are not allowed to dump untreated flow into natural sources
during rain events. The costs of these expensive upgrades are
passed to water users. In some areas, water and sewer distribution
main upgrades cannot be accomplished. The end result is that
these areas cannot be developed because no municipal water or
sewer system serves the development.
Some municipal programs provide money for companies to trade
their old plumbing fixtures for new efficient fixtures, which reduces
overall operations costs for the municipality and tenants. In some
cases, the rate increases for water and sewer system upgrades can
be postponed. Some areas are finding it cheaper to offer rebates
than to make expensive distribution system upgrades.

WHERE SHOULD METERS BE INSTALLED?
CONNECT WITH THE INDUSTRY!
Let’s start with the obvious: Every building should have a meter. Like
many other cities, New York City had many buildings with no water
meters connected to the municipal water system. In the late 1980s,
the city was using more than 200 gallons of water per person, so
the city started several programs to reduce water use. One program
included installing water meters in buildings. As a result, water consumption was reduced—it’s now about 130 gallons per person.
Plumbing fixtures are not the only systems that use water and
create wastewater in buildings. For instance, in New York City, 28
percent of the water used in a typical office building serves the
heating and cooling equipment. Landscaping uses another 27 percent, while the kitchen uses 11 percent (see Figure 1).
Thus, irrigation systems also should be metered. According to a
recent study on the amount of water used to irrigate crops, the crop that
used the most water was turf grass. Lawns produce no food; however,
they require more water than any other crop. This creates another
problem because lawns are usually over-fertilized. Over-watering creates water runoff. Over-fertilization mixes with the runoff and creates
a hazardous toxic mix in natural waterways. Toxic algae blooms are
problems in the ocean and beaches at the mouths of rivers dumping
into the ocean. They also create large dead zones in oceans.
In some areas, municipal water bills contain one charge for
water and another charge for sewer treatment. When the water
is not returning to the wastewater treatment plant, the water
rate decreases. To obtain the reduced rate, an approved meter is
required. Operators should have a procedure to monitor the water
to the irrigation system to verify that water is not wasted with over-

watering or leaks. (The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s
WaterSense program lists approved irrigation contractors.)
Mechanical system water also should be metered. In large buildings,
cooling towers, boilers, and process water systems typically are piped
separately from the building’s potable water system. As a result, it is not
difficult to install a meter on these systems.
Cooling towers should have several meters. Efficient facilities
should monitor and improve the cooling tower’s cycles of concentration, which is calculated as the ratio of the concentration of

THE WORLD of DESIGN/BUILD
Harvesting Storm Water:
Everything Old Is New Again
As I write this, the remains of Hurricane Ida are dumping monsoon-like rains across most of the East Coast. It has been raining
steadily now for the past 48 hours. The governor of Virginia has
declared a state of emergency, and sure enough, water is seeping
into my basement. The problem is not that I have a leaky basement. No—I have water in my basement because the drain tile
surrounding my house’s foundation is directed to a low spot in the
rear and then turns back into a sump pit at the lowest level.
I went to sleep with a dry basement and awoke to find that the
float for the sump pump had wedged itself between the pit wall and
the discharge pipe. The constant on-off action caused the sump
pump to walk to one side of the 12-by-12-inch pit and jam the float.
The lowest level of my four-story house does not have a floor
drain because the basement is 4½ feet below the sewer invert,
which exits the building at the level above. I assume this is why the
sump pit and the drain tile are installed as they are.
As I ran the wet-vac around the basement floor, I suddenly
realized what kind of system is installed in my home. It is a storm
water harvesting system—and a pretty good one at that.
I seriously doubt the builder had storm water harvesting in mind
40 years ago when building this house. He did, however, know a
thing or two about hydraulics. He installed a system unique to this
unit that directs excess storm water to a single location where it can
be collected or pumped away. Otherwise, the foundation and basement walls would be subjected to the whims of hydraulic pressure.
Four decades later, I can use this ancient drain tile configuration to
harvest storm water. With very few modifications and the addition of
a tank or cistern, I’ll be all set. Heck, I even can apply for LEED credits!
At the APSE Convention in Long Beach, California, last year, I
attended a seminar on storm water harvesting. I remember discussing this “emerging technology” with several engineers in the
room. Since then, I have worked on many projects in which graywater recycling and storm water harvesting systems were installed.
In dealing with the contractors, engineers, and architects on the
various projects, I got the impression that this water management
stuff is foreign territory, especially to local code officials.
As we discovered during the recent ICC meetings, local code
officials and inspectors are loath to learn about new plumbing
technologies such as siphonic roof drains or single-stack venting.
The same goes for storm water harvesting. Some code officials (not
all) seem to treat these systems as alien technology. Many local
ordinances have been passed with vague language allowing varied
interpretations by code officials.
I still grit my teeth when I recall several lengthy phone conversations, as well as myriad e-mails and face-to-face meetings, all in an
attempt to figure out what to do with discharge from the area drains
on an outdoor pool deck. A recent ordinance had been adopted
concerning graywater, with language making it almost impossible to
design a compliant solution, but that’s another article.
The Ancient Art of Plumbing
All of this talk about emerging technologies reminds me of a piece I
read in the July 2009 National Geographic. It was about the Imperial
City of Angkor located in central Cambodia. At the height of its power
and influence in the 13th century, the capitol of the Khmer Empire
was the most extensive urban complex in the world. The city covered
nearly 400 square miles, roughly the same area as the five boroughs of
New York City, and supported as many as 750,000 people.
The only way to maintain this population concentration was the
ability to harness, collect, and deliver fresh water both for human
consumption and farming. In Southeast Asia, months of monsoon
rains are followed by months of near drought. The plumbing engineers in the 13th century built a massive complex of canals, ponds,
moats, and reservoirs. Huge earthworks directed monsoon runoff
to irrigation ponds that kept the rice paddies flooded during the
dry season. This was highly developed storm water harvesting at
its best dating back eight centuries.
You can find many more examples of the ancient art of plumbing engineering. The Egyptians tamed the Nile and used that
seemingly endless water source to develop an incredible civilization some 3,500 years ago. Mayan engineers in the 2nd century figured out how to make water flow uphill. They even had redundant
backup systems in case repairs were required. The Mayan technology can be traced back as far as 2,000 BC. The Romans had their
aqueducts and heated baths, and the list goes on and on.
Before any great civilization could flourish, it first had to learn to
harness water.
Moving forward, plumbing engineers will be asked to come up
with new and innovative ways to conserve water. The demand for

potable water will only increase as time goes by. I think we first
should look to the past. The plumbing trade is as old as civilization, and much can be learned from our ancient forefathers.
Even recent history can teach us some old tricks. I remember as a
child running around my grandfather’s tobacco farm. Whenever we
got thirsty, we would find one of the many rain barrels that stood next
to most of the buildings and barns. A ladle always was hooked on the
edge so we could quench our thirst. Was it potable? Who cared?
water harvesting system will be good to go. I just hope I don’t have
to show a code official!

Bring Back the Rain Barrel!
Can we drink out of rain barrels today? I’m quite sure millions
still do. In fact, in an interesting study

the health of families who drank
rainwater and found it safe to drink.
Associate Professor Karin Leder led
the research sponsored by the Department of Epidemiology and Preventive
Medicine in conjunction with Water
Quality Research Australia. “This is
the first study of its kind,” Professor
Leder said. “Until now, there has been

dissolved solids (or conductivity) in the blowdown water compared
to the makeup water. More solids and minerals in the water result
in a higher blowdown rate.1 Concentration cycles in cooling towers
around the country usually range from 3 to 7. Most systems should
have a goal of 5 cycles. The plumbing engineer or the mechanical
engineer can specify a conductivity meter in the blowdown system
that will reduce the amount of water used. These activities will help
achieve the LEED-EB cooling tower water management credit.
The goal should be to use no more potable water than 2.3 gallons per ton hour for cooling tower makeup. The meter on the
cooling tower makeup water system can be connected to the
facility’s management system and set to alarm if the makeup water
system fails and overflows the cooling towers.
Boiler/heating system makeup water should be metered. This
meter will help detect leaks and can be a tool for operations to
monitor the efficiency of the heating system.
A meter on the domestic hot water system will help detect leaks
in the system, and it can help develop a building operations baseline to compare the results when water-efficient fixtures such as
low-flow showers are added.
Food service water heaters should be metered, with another
meter for all food service water. Water used for food service cleaning can be expensive for a facility. Monitoring hot water use can
help operations run an efficient system and fix dishwasher or
other food service hot water system problems.
Other nonpotable water uses (process water) from sterilizers, air
compressors, water filtration systems, laundry, and vehicle wash
should be metered separately. This data helps operations run an
efficient facility. In some facilities, each department is responsible
for the water they use. For example, if a school has a separate laundry, that water can be metered and billed to the laundry budget. In
some organizations, this helps justify capital expenditures for new,
efficient equipment.
Rainwater catchment systems also should be metered. When
these systems are used for irrigation, metering helps the operator understand how much water is being used for irrigation. If the
water is used for cooling tower makeup or other mechanical system
makeup, it helps the operator monitor water usage. If the water is
used for the building’s flush fixtures, some municipalities require a
meter to determine sewer charges.
Graywater systems also should be metered for reasons similar to
rainwater catchment systems.
MONITORING AND VERIFICATION
The installation of meters by themselves does not reduce water
usage in a building. Meters provide data that can be monitored on
a regular basis to aid in the efficient operation of a facility or to help
the company allocate the cost of water systems.
For many organizations, this is not an easy task. However, they
will find that the money and time invested in training personnel
and purchasing electronic monitoring systems will be paid back
with water and energy savings.
Several companies are available to set up the meters and the data
collection systems. The setup is less expensive in new construction
projects than in renovation projects because dealing with the existing
water distribution system can pose a challenge.
Meters shall be calibrated when the building is turned over from the
contractor to the owner and on a regular basis afterward. Meters can lose
accuracy over time, so they should be maintained to deliver reliable data.
It is important to follow the meter manufacturer’s recommendations.
Staff can read each of the meters on a regular basis, or automatic meter reader systems can monitor the meters within a few
seconds of operation or at longer intervals, such as once a month.
Controls subcontractors can set up control and monitoring systems to provide the data in many different formats.
Some companies can conduct regular facility audits. This is
beneficial to organizations that may not have the time or expertise
to set up an in-house program. These audit companies can suggest ways to change building operations procedures to reduce the
amount of water used in the facility.
While the intent of this article is meant to enlighten the plumbing engineer on the importance of meters, it is not intended to give
detailed information on how to design a system with meters. ASPE
Plumbing Engineering Design Handbooks and other publications
are good references for designing such systems.
Installing meters and developing a measurement and verification
system will help the facility obtain both LEED construction credits and
LEED operations and maintenance credits. The plumbing engineer will
need to work with the LEED facilitator and the building operator.
Water meters are very important to sustainable building operations. Similar to other green systems, the obstacles and limitations
are not from the technology or even the cost of the system. The
limitations are sometimes set with the organization’s operations
structure. With the realization of great financial benefits in setting
up a measurement and verification system, more facilities will
want to undertake the effort to install meters.

differences, pressure, and friction losses increase. Imagine the
system curve getting steeper. Now the pumps can destage until
the last pump shuts off when the pressure switch setting on the
makeup unit is achieved. This all is based on the fact that the
time to fill is critical. Typically, the fill time for hydronic systems is not critical.
Maybe those parallel fill pumps weren’t so odd after all.

Technical Exhibition Roundup
The exhibitors
were effusive with their
compliments of this year’s
Technical Exhibition. They
were especially pleased
that the show floor had a
constant flow of heavy traffic. They also appreciated
how the giant Tailgate Party
was integrated within the
Exhibition and how it helped everyone feel
more comfortable and fully engaged with
the exhibitors.
Comments from the exhibitors included:
“Once again, a fantastic show.” “Sorry I
missed the last Symposium, it won’t happen
again.” “This was just the perfect size: not so
big that you were lost in a huge hall, but
just a good size so everyone could see you
and you had time to spend with everyone
that was interested.” “A great idea to have
the exhibit in conjunction with the PCA [Plumbing Contractors of America]. It
provided a varied audience and different interest points for our product.”
The attendees indicated that they loved the integrated Tailgate Party and its
food selection. Everyone filled their stomachs, and good feelings and good cheer
were evident throughout the event.
The Tailgate Party provided the basis for a successful event: plenty of food and
drink. Everywhere you turned were hamburgers, hot dogs, brats, french fries, popcorn,
peanuts, soft drinks, beer, pretzels, candy, ice cream, and cookies.
With the sponsorship and hosting of the Eastern Michigan Chapter and the arriving attendees registering for the 2009 Symposium,
the Exhibition area soon filled up and provided a constant stream of what the exhibitors said was “good traffic.” Moreover, many
exhibitors indicated that we hit the “nail on the head” with the mix of engineers and contractors. It provided a “quality mix of attendees,” something that every exhibitor likes to see.
Despite the economic malaise that has spread throughout the United States, the turnout for the Symposium, while not as high
as originally budgeted (before the economy went south), the event was well attended.
As with previous Symposium Exhibitions, the show floor was limited to sponsors of the Symposium.
The continued support of the Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Friend sponsors is very much
appreciated, and the exhibition show floor “belongs” to these supporters.
Special Thanks to the Eastern Michigan
Chapter and its Host Committee

Inside the Symposium
One of the American Society of Plumbing Engineers’ major educational events is its Technical Symposium held in oddnumbered years. The Symposia continue to evolve, and each succeeding event provides even greater educational and
networking opportunities.
The concentration etched on attendees’ faces and the well-attended program sessions attested to a very successful
2009 Technical Symposium. Despite the economic malaise that has settled throughout the United States, attendance
surpassed the most optimistic expectations. Five tracks incorporated
three-hour program sessions providing an in-depth technical and educational experience.
The presenters used a range of teaching and presenting techniques, from
PowerPoints to basic ink drawings, and each presenter provided interesting material, covering technical subjects and imparting useful information
and knowledge for the plumbing engineering and design professional.
Everywhere you looked, attendees were networking, making new friends,
greeting old friends, and getting up close and personal with the presentors.
The Technical Symposium
remains
the premier event
for plumbing engineers, designers,
and contractors to
get together in a
relaxed atmosphere
alternating
with
intensive technical
education and professional development programs.

A highlight the ASPE Technical Symposium and Convention is the opportunity it provides the Society to pay
homage to the tireless workers and many volunteers who
contribute their time so generously on behalf of ASPE. To
accommodate the number of awards being given, this year
awards luncheons were held on both Friday and Saturday.
Technical Symposium Chairs
The Technical Symposium co-chairs begin planning
for the Symposium more than a year in advance,
and the success of the technical and professional
development programs are the culmination of
their work. The chairs invest a lot of effort, dedication, commitment, and time to bring the
Symposium to fruition. This year, Co-chairs
Joe Vela (Boston Chapter) and Esteban
Cabello (Eastern Michigan Chapter) were
presented with ASPE Certificates of Appreciation, which read: For commitment and
dedication to the growth and prosperity of the
Society and advancement of the profession as the
co-chairman of the 2009 ASPE Technical Symposium.

Tribute Awards
Over the past few years, many chapters have forgiven their older, unpaid dues rebates to help the Society. By
these chapters forgiving all of their old dues rebates, the Society was able to show a favofable financial balance
sheet and thus was able to purchase its own office building. These chapters will forever be engraved onto a
bronze plaque that will be permanently attached to the building. For the interim, a special Tribute Plaque was
presented to these chapters as of the date of the Symposium. The Plaque reads: In Recognition for Its Commitment and Dedication To the Growth, Health and Prosperity of the Society For The Forgiveness of All Its Past
Dues Rebates That Made It Possible For the society To Purchase Its Own Office Building.

2009 Plumbing Engineering and Contracting Technical Symposium
--Drawing Winners
From the President’s Pen
Engineering—A Noble Profession
ASPE REPORT
JULIUS BALLANCO, PE, FASPE, 2008–2010 ASPE PRESIDENT
Thirty years ago, I took the Professional Engineer (PE)
exam, and I received my license four months later. I still
remember the day the letter arrived from the state of Illinois. It was a wonderful feeling. Plus, my boss gave me
an instant raise of $100 per month. In those days, that
was a 5 percent raise for being a PE.
The most important part of being a Professional Engineer is living by the engineering code of ethics. Every
time you renew your license, you must agree to adhere
to that code. What is truly unique is our charge as engineers: Our first obligation is to the public, which is pretty
simple and straightforward. This obligation is what
makes engineering such a noble profession. It is not our
clients that we worry about first—it is the public. We
have a commitment to use our knowledge and expertise
to improve mankind.
This issue recently came to the forefront when I
attended the International Code Council (ICC) code
change hearings in Baltimore. While I was testifying on a
particular subject, someone offhandedly remarked that
I was testifying because I was receiving a fee. I took great
offense to the insinuation and said so. I let it be known
that I firmly believed that the code change was for the
good of the public.
The code change in question would require all ports
for filling a refrigerant system to be locked. The key for
such a lock would be under the control of a certified
air-conditioning technician. I became passionate about
this code change after listening to Mona Casey testify
last year. Mona’s son died after huffing refrigerant from
their air-conditioning unit, and her story moved me to
tears. It also enlightened me. I had no idea that huffing
refrigerant is highly addictive, similar to heroin. Kids are
doing it to get high, but since it doesn’t show up in the
bloodstream, no test will show you are using a drug.
Her son died the second time he huffed refrigerant. As
it turns out, the refrigerant, being heavier than air, sits in
the bottom of the lungs and displaces oxygen, eventually
suffocating the individual. Unlike the other substance
with which kids experiment to get high, refrigerant is
very lethal, but you never see any national headlines
about this problem. One of the reasons is that if attention is brought to the problem, more kids will learn how
to do it, and the death rate will increase. That is why
a simple code change to require the access port to be
under lock and key makes perfect sense to me.
When Mona first presented the concept during the
last code change cycle, I saw that she needed help in
presenting her case. After all, she was simply acting as
a concerned mother trying to prevent other tragedies.
She had no idea how the code change process worked. I
stepped forward, as did many colleagues. We know how
to get code changes approved, and we all helped push
Mona’s change through the system.
The 2009 International Mechanical Code and 2009
International Residential Code require all new air-conditioning systems to have the refrigerant port under lock
and key. This code change cycle we hope to add to the
provision by requiring a lock and key anytime the system
is serviced, which would help protect all existing systems.
Those who helped Mona with the code change did
not receive a fee, nor did they want one. They helped her
because it was the right thing to do. After all, our first obligation in the engineering profession is to help the public.
When Mona’s change was approved last cycle, I was full
of good feelings. I was proud of the code change process
for doing the right thing. I was proud of the engineering
community for stepping forward and helping the cause.
I was proud of Mona for having the strength to carry this
message forward after suffering such a tragedy.
I have since added a lock to the air-conditioning unit for
my house. You may want to consider doing the same thing.
We truly are a noble profession. Thank you to all for
being a part of such a great profession. In this holiday
season, I would like to wish all of you a Merry Christmas,
Happy Chanukah, and Happy New Year.

Membership Report
Growing Membership: What You Need to
Know to Help
Jeffrey L. Ingertson, CPD, 2008–2010 ASPE Vice President, Membership
The title for this article is “Growing Membership,” but with the
way things have been going, a better title would be “Growing
Membership and Keeping the Membership We Have.” Retention for the last few months has not been going as well as it
could. The hard work of our Membership Director Stacey Kidd
and Membership Coordinator Jinnie Yoo has stemmed any
dramatic falloff, but more needs to be done—not just by chapter boards of directors, but also by all ASPE members.
I know in the last few membership newsletters I have written
about retention, to the point of agony to some, but I cannot
stress enough what will happen if we do not retain more of
our membership. Why? First, keeping the membership strong
helps ASPE remain a strong and constant voice in issues affecting the plumbing engineering profession. Second, retaining
membership translates into revenues—actual and potential.
Third, it takes from four to six times less effort to keep an existing member than to recruit a new one.
What can you as an ASPE member do to help your chapter membership vice president retain and grow your chapter’s membership?
KNOW WHAT ASPE IS
You must be convinced of the benefits of belonging to ASPE.
The ASPE Membership Recruitment and Retention Manual
says, “If you are not convinced of the Society’s reason for being
and that its mission is professionally valuable and career
enhancing, nothing you can say or do will convince a potential
or existing member otherwise. If you believe in the mission
of ASPE, then no matter what the national or local economic
situation, plumbing engineers will have needs that require
filling and expectations that ASPE can meet. Although, typically, membership dues and subscriptions are some of the first
expenditures cut in an economic downturn, it becomes your
tasks to introduce plumbing engineers and designers to the
concept that the value of membership in the Society surpasses
the cost of the membership dues. There will always be potential and existing members that will need convincing—some
will just take more convincing than others.”
In these tough economic times, we must believe in what we
do, or we cannot succeed.
KNOW WHAT ASPE HAS TO OFFER
Before you can convince anyone to join ASPE or renew their
dues, you need to know the benefits of membership. There are
two levels of benefits:
1.Benefits about the Society
2.Benefits for affiliation with a chapter
The basic Society benefits include the following:
Plumbing Engineering Design Handbook This is the most
definitive collection of general plumbing practices in the field of
plumbing engineering. The handbook consists of four volumes,
which are updated and revised on a rotating annual basis.
Plumbing Systems & Design The Society’s magazine covers
a wide spectrum of topics important to the profession and to
daily practices in the field.
ASPE Report The Society’s newsletter is incorporated within
PS&D magazine to keep members abreast of Society activities
and issues impacting the profession.
ASPE Pipeline E-mailed biweekly, this newsletter is a good
source for news and events in the plumbing engineering industry.
Members-only ASPEnet Access A special section on aspe.org
allows members to download numerous publications and other
information critical to the plumbing engineering profession.
Publication and Education Program Discounts All Society
publications, education programs, and other services and
products are offered at special discounted rates to ASPE members. A member’s savings on just one popular ASPE publication can equal the annual membership dues.
Biennial Convention and Engineered Plumbing Exposition Offered in even-numbered years, this is the premier educational and professional development event for plumbing engineers and designers. The Convention features a comprehensive
program of educational, technical, and professional development presentations and seminars designed to enhance professional knowledge and foster awareness of new techniques. The
concurrent EPE highlights the latest products and services of
interest to plumbing engineers. It is the largest exposition dedicated entirely to the field of plumbing engineering.
Technical Symposium Offered in non-Convention years,
the Symposium provides a unique forum for the most comprehensive and intensive plumbing engineering and design
seminars and workshops available anywhere. The hands-on
workshops provide plumbing engineers with information
about new developments in the industry and new techniques
for practical implementation in the field.
Continuing Education Units ASPE offers the opportunity
to earn CEUs at technical program sessions at the Convention, EPE, and Technical Symposium, as well as for numerous
e-learning opportunities such as webinars.
Certified in Plumbing Design Program The CPD program
is an international certification program for engineers and
designers of plumbing systems. The certification program provides the profession, the plumbing industry, and the general
public with a single, comprehensive qualification of professional competence for engineers and designers of plumbing
systems. The CPD is the only international credential program
in the plumbing engineering field. It sets the standards for
leadership within the industry and provides formal recognition
of outstanding professionals with advanced skills in the design
and specification of plumbing systems.
The basic chapter benefits include the following:
Networking Monthly chapter meetings provide the basis for
building personal and professional contacts with plumbing
engineers, designers, and manufacturers. Chapters offered
a unique opportunity for peer-to-peer and professional-toprofessional interaction in an informal and friendly setting.
Camaraderie is what ASPE is all about.
Education and Professional Development Chapters offer technical presentations at their monthly meetings and special one- and
two-day technical seminars and workshops—exceptional opportunities for education and professional growth and development.
Leadership Recognition A chapter provides unlimited
opportunities for individual incentives, professional recognition, and leadership potential.
Other Resources Chapter newsletters, monthly meetings,
chapter websites, and libraries of technical material are important
resources for education, professional development, and informa…continued on page 76

From the Executive’s Desk
Clearing Up Confusion and
Asking for Manners
Stanley M. Wolfson, ASPE executive Director
Prior to the close of the 2009 Technical Symposium, a
number of chapters donated to the ASPE Building Fund
with the impression that they would be on the main
foundation plaque to be placed in the headquarters
lobby. That is not the case.
ASPE REPORT
ASPE Office Building Foundation Plaque
The only chapters that will be permanently inscribed
on the main foundation plaque are those that returned
all of the past dues rebates owed to the chapter. How
the rebates were returned—whether simply forgiven or
used for sponsorships or products and services—is not
important. What is important is that these chapters forgave all past due rebates.
Another important item is when the dues rebates
were forgiven. Last spring, the board pushed the chapters to forgive the past dues rebates to remove a major
liability from the Society’s balance sheet. Why? In its
search for new office space, the Society was considering
purchasing a headquarters building. However, to do so,
we needed to reduce the amount owed to the chapters.
Why didn’t we just say it was because we were thinking about purchasing a building? The answer is simple:
Even with the forgiven dues rebates, the possibility of
ownership seemed very remote.
After a long search and prolonged negotiations, a small
miracle happened. All the stars aligned, and we found a
building we could afford—at a reasonable price and requiring the least possible amount of cash as a down payment—
as well as a bank that was willing to finance the project.
Thus, the main building foundation plaque belongs to
those chapters that forgave all of their past dues rebates.
Without them, a headquarters building would continue
to be a dream. To encourage more chapters to become
building foundation members, the board pushed the
deadline for forgiving dues rebates to the end of the
Technical Symposium. By then, everyone knew that the
forgiveness was to help with the purchase of the building,
and it was hoped that more chapters would participate.
It was disappointing to see how many chapters decided
to not forgive all of their dues rebates. However, the board
has set up a payment plan, and they will get their money.
Building Fund Plaque
www.aspe.org
A second plaque in the office lobby will be dedicated to
everyone who donates to the ASPE Building Fund. The
plaque will be updated on an ongoing basis as chapters,
individuals, or companies give whatever amount they are
able, and those amounts will be consolidated into the total.
Additional monies are vital for the fund. The building
purchased needed some renovations, especially new
HVAC, and in addition, as funds become available, the
building’s mortgage will be paid down as quickly as possible. The Society, as a nonprofit, does not benefit from
carrying a mortgage and/or paying interest.
All Clear?
I hope this explains the difference between the two plaques
and the reasons behind them. We want to be sure that
74 Plumbing Systems & Design DECEMBER 2009
everyone contributing to the fund is recognized properly.
We also want to show special thanks to those chapters that
helped ASPE build the financial foundation necessary to
own the building by forgiving all their old dues rebates.
Now What?
As said above, we will continue to need donations to the
ASPE Building Fund until we can retire the mortgage
debt. For those chapters that are owed past dues rebates,
repayments will begin January 1, 2012. The total amount
owed will be divided by 300 (for a 25-year payback) and
will be paid in monthly installments, along with the
regular dues rebate amount, until the past dues rebate
amount reaches zero.
Again, Thank You
I can’t thank enough those chapters that forgave all their
old dues rebates and made it possible for the Society to
purchase its own office building. We will be sure that the
permanent plaque is worthy of your sacrifice.
Whatever Happened to Manners?
I recently heard a voicemail left for one of the ASPE
staff. This staff person has an especially hard job and
always seems to bear the brunt of the membership’s
problems—such as their records, their payments or lack
of, or the number of notices they receive.
Our Membership Director, Stacey Kidd, is one of the
nicest people I know and is one of the hardest working
staff at the Society. Remember, Stacey has to follow all
the policies that have been put in place by the board of
directors regarding membership: renewals, upgrades,
student memberships, lapsed memberships, and the
like. What she does is controlled by policies that have
been developed over the years.
Stacey treats everyone with respect. Unfortunately, all
too often she is treated like a non-person who is supposed
to sit back and take all the venom that someone wants to
spew about the Society. Interestingly, I am here, as the
executive director, to handle such calls. For some reason,
most of those who have something to spew about do not
call me—perhaps because I’m not going to listen to you
rant and rave like you expect a staff person to do.
Here is the latest story. We sent one member—who happened to be a chapter officer—the usual three invoice notices.
In numerous calls from our retention coordinator, he said he’d
put the check in the mail, yet we never received it.
Since we didn’t receive his dues, we sent him the final
good-bye letter. When someone who is a chapter officer
is dropped from the membership rolls, the chapter
president is notified that the individual no longer can
continue in that position. We also notify everyone that
the individual has been removed from the ASPE database as a chapter officer.
In 99 percent of such cases, the problem is resolved
calmly, rationally, and professionally. In this case, the
individual decided to leave an abusive voicemail, which
basically said: “Who do you think you are? I’ve been a
member of the Society, off and on, for umpteen years.
WWW.PSDMAGAZINE.ORG
You’re just some staff person who has barely been there for any
time. I have five times the experience with the Society that you
do. Who do you think you are telling me I can’t be an officer of the
chapter anymore? You don’t have that right. You wrote an e-mail
to the chapter president telling him all this, and it’s all b******. I
insist that you immediately write a retraction e-mail and call me
and apologize. Here is my number.”
(I was really tempted to publish that number. By the way, sometimes we tape calls, and we have this one in all its glory.)
Please remember that the staff is here to help you. They are not
here to hinder you or to make things harder. In 99 percent of such
situations, all goes well. More often than not, the remaining one percent just wants to vent, blame someone else, or find a way around the
policies. I ask those people to remember that our staff is doing all they
can to help and support you. They want things to go smoothly, just as
you do. So please, don’t act like a jackass. The staff will thank you.
A Special Thank You to Moen
Wow, what a nice surprise! George Spear, Kristin Meyers, and
Jamie Dalton from Moen recently came to our new building for a
meeting, and they noticed that we have some very old plumbing
fixtures, especially sink handles. They advised us to obtain touchless faucets, and even offered to send some. Of course we said
okay, not thinking much more about it.
Yet a box arrived the other day, and in it were four of Moen’s
touchless faucets. We’ll get them hooked up as soon as possible,
thanks to the good people at Moen.
To Moen goes a special salute. They saw a need and didn’t wait
for us to ask. We appreciate their proactiveness.
A Few Extra Thank You’s
At the 2009 Technical Symposium, the Dallas/Ft. Worth Chapter
presented the Society with a plaque and a promise for a $5,000 donation to the ASPE Building Fund. The PCA (Plumbing Contractors of
America) presented the Society with $2,500 for the fund. On the spot,
John Nussbaum, president of the Eastern Michigan Chapter, handed
over a personal check for $100, and Barry Pines presented us with a
crisp $100 bill as personal donations.
Again, thank you to everyone who donates to the ASPE Building
Fund. ✻

tion sharing. Chapter affiliation is the most convenient and effective strategy to remain abreast of current trends, code changes,
and technologies affecting the plumbing engineering profession.
ASPE REPORT
ASPE RESOURCES FOR CHAPTER
MEMBERSHIP VICE PRESIDENTS
Each month, the ASPE Membership Department sends four
reports to each chapter vice president of membership:
1.ASPE membership standings
2.Chapter roster
3.Chapter roster of new members
4.Chapter roster of dropped members
These reports are sent via e-mail in Excel format. A CD-ROM
can be sent upon request. In addition, any chapter vice president of membership may request the following special lists
unique to his or her chapter:
1.Nonmembers who have purchased a
product or service from ASPE
2.Previous members who are no longer active
3.Supplemental lists of nonmembers and/or former members, such as individuals receiving Plumbing Systems &
Design magazine and individuals interested in or already
in the field of plumbing design
REACHING OUT TO MEMBERSHIP—
PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE
Now that you have the means to contact the membership
in your chapter, let’s look at the ways you can be effective.
Remember, a chapter’s own members are the best source for
finding prospects. As stated in the ASPE Membership Recruitment and Retention Manual, “Of special note are the affiliate
members. The affiliates have broad contacts in the profession
and are in contact with virtually anyone who does business in
the plumbing engineering arena.”
Build a Volunteer Core
Help build a volunteer core of members within the chapter.
This could be a growth and retention committee, who will
call on, write to, or if needed visit a member whose dues will
soon lapse. This committee also could help the membership
vice president plan growth and retention programs. Be sure to
involve all the chapter membership to solicit diverse ideas and
think outside the box.
Communications
Regular communication with the chapter membership and
with the Society is vital to maintain interest in what you’re
trying to accomplish. The best way to do this is by attending the
monthly meetings and getting involved with the chapter newsletter. Write an article about retention to solicit ideas and post
those ideas for discussion.
You Are What You Write
We all are besieged with snail mail, phone calls, and e-mail. In
deciding what form of communication to use, take into consideration who you are contacting and what you need to say. As stated
in the ASPE Membership Recruitment and Retention Manual,
“The key to communications success is for the material to command immediate attention and entice the targeted individual or
group to read the material. The best communication is one that
is personal and direct. Even more important is the message that
provides the catalyst for the recipient to take positive action steps.
Try this: If you think the membership material or written communication is ready to be distributed, have someone who is not
76 Plumbing Systems & Design DECEMBER 2009
www.aspe.org
a member and someone who is not in the profession go over the
material. Take all criticism as useful.”
I am lucky—when possible, my wife proofreads what I write.
Themes
Themes are an important way to push ideas, concepts, and
programs across a vast array of members. “Themes help build
excitement and interest in the membership (and retention)
campaign, in the Society, and the chapter. A theme will often
provide the necessary incentive to attract or interest the recipient. … Be sure the theme is consistent, has one message, and
is fully integrated into the membership (retention) campaign
letters, newsletter, website, chapter meetings, and all other
written materials and events.”
Membership Recruitment Communiqué
Even though letters often are considered a slow form of communication, we sometimes have the need to write on paper.
As stated in the ASPE Membership Recruitment and Retention Manual, “The membership recruitment letter should
incorporate the essential ingredients to ensure a successful
recruitment campaign. First, you will need to include material
that will inform the individual as to why they need the Society
and the chapter. When writing a recruitment letter, consider
the prospect’s viewpoint. If you were the prospect, what would
you want from the Society and the chapter? Second, the letter
needs to somehow induce the perspective member to open the
envelope and to read the enclosed material. To achieve this,
write in a clear, simple, upbeat, and positive style that offers up
the benefits and value of joining the Society and the chapter.”
The Membership Recruitment and Retention Manual contains quite a few membership recruitment letters to help you
decide the best communication tool for your needs.
Membership Retention Communiqué
As I have mentioned in my newsletters and in the beginning of
this article, retention is imperative. It is a process in which all
ASPE members should be involved. “The retention process begins
as soon as a member joins and is the responsibility of all chapter
officers. Membership retention depends on myriad factors—
chapter technical programs, chapter newsletter, the opportunities
to meet and make professional and business contacts. … Not
every ASPE member renews automatically—some require additional persuasion and personal attention. There are hundreds of
approaches to writing a renewal letter. Should you focus on the
loss of benefits for not renewing? Should you concentrate on the
benefits of renewing? Surprisingly, a large number of delinquent
members need only a simple reminder to pay their dues, a phone
call, or a simple e-mail. … There is no one perfectly right way to
convince a member to renew his/her membership. … The first
most effective communication tool will be to direct the letter to
the member’s needs concerns, interests, and professional career
advancement. The second most effective communication tool is a
letter that provides a strong, positive, and honest intent.”
The Membership Recruitment and Retention Manual contains quite a few membership retention letters to help you.
THE MANTRA
In the Membership Recruitment and Retention Manual is a vice
president, membership mantra. I say this should be the mantra
for all chapter board members and ASPE members alike.
• The member is the most important person in the Society
and in my chapter.
• Members are the reason there is a Society;
without them, we’d close our doors.
WWW.PSDMAGAZINE.ORG
Membership Report
• The members are not dependent on us;
we are dependent on the members.
• Each member does us, the Society, and the
chapter a favor by joining; I am not doing him/
her a favor when I don’t accommodate his/her needs.
• Members are the Society; they are not outsiders.
• The only way for the Society and the chapter to keep its members is for everyone to provide the best service.
• As I deal with each member, I will pay attention to
him/her as though he/she was the only member.
• I will treat all members equally, no matter
what their race, sex, religion, or nationality.
• To barely or merely meet a member’s needs and
requirements will result in the loss of that member.
• It is my job to help make a member’s life easier.
• I will under-promise and over-deliver
to each chapter member.
• I will take personal responsibility for
satisfying each chapter member.
• Members aren’t dollars; they are human beings
with feelings, like my own.
• A member comes with needs and wants;
my job is to help fill those needs and wants.
• I will never make negative comments
about a member to another member.
• I will never gossip about a member to another member.
• I will demand success from my actions.
• I will not merely be satisfactory; I will excel.
• I will continually battle inefficiency,
mediocrity, and inattention.
CHECKLISTS
I am not sure how many of you know, but I recently received my
pilot’s license. For anyone who has taken the classes, flown the
necessary hours, and received his ticket, you know one of the
most critical things to learn is checklists. In the ASPE Membership
Recruitment and Retention Manual is a chapter vice president,
membership material checklist that you absolutely must check out.
ASPE MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE
When I was elected to the office of vice president, membership,
I decided to utilize the standing Membership Committee to its
fullest extent. I asked Brian Salisbury to be the membership chair,
and to date there are three committee members, two from Region
1 (Juan Rojas and David Bailey) and one from Region 4 (Jeff Reed).
I need two members from each region, so if you would like to get
involved please contact either myself (aspevpm@aspe.org) or
Brian (bsalisbury@rmcotton.com), and we would be glad to welcome you.
CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE
I know I have referred to the Membership Recruitment and Retention Manual consistently in this article, but the information inside
this manual is exactly on point and I feel no need to reinvent the
wheel while having such a well-written manual with which to
work. I need to give credit where credit is due, so my thanks to Stan
Wolfson, ASPE executive director, and his staff for their work on the
Membership Recruitment and Retention Manual. ✻

Education Report
Are You Taking Advantage of
ASPE’s Educational Programs?
ASPE REPORT
by Diane Wingard, CPD, ASPE 2008–2010 Vice President, Education
In the past few years, ASPE has taken full advantage of the Internet to provide educational materials for our members and nonmembers. The most successful program is
our webinar series. Webinars are broadcast live with the option of obtaining CEUs or
PDHs. Some are sponsored by manufacturers, allowing ASPE to provide them for free
to the membership. Others are pay-per-view events with discounted rates for members, and nonmembers are encouraged to join ASPE to get the discounted rate.
The first webinar aired January 9, 2008. Larry Oliver presented “Green Building:
Sustainable Plumbing System Design and the Plumbing Codes,” which was sponsored
by Sloan Valve. This was the beginning of what is now a library of 12 archived events.
Subsequent webinars covered siphonic roof drainage, green opportunities in medical
gases, water heater sizing, grease interceptor sizing, LEED points strategies, natural
gas and propane sizing, graywater systems, fire suppression using clean agents, and
how to become an expert witness. Sponsors have included Jay R. Smith, Armstrong
Hot Water Group, and Bradley Corp.
Once a sponsored webinar has been archived on ASPE’s website, members can view
it as many times as they want. Being able to access the files as the need arises is a great
benefit to our members. The beauty of the archived version is that members can use
these webinars as refresher courses to reference over and over again at their leisure.
Work is progressing on the 2010 series. With the success of the program, we are
planning 11 webinars next year.
Many paid webinar participants share the webinar with others in their offices. However, since only the registered participant receives the CEUs/PDHs, we strongly encourage other viewers to register so they also can earn continuing education units.
Webinars are only a portion of the ASPE online educational experience. A series of
PowerPoint programs also has been developed. Available to date are PowerPoints on
structural adhesives, fuel gas systems, foam systems, venting systems, construction
administration, solar water heating, fire pump design and testing, defective trap seal
identification, water reclamation, and water purification.
Also available are the audio files from the 2008 ASPE Convention technical programs. The 32 sessions include quizzes for those needing CEUs/PDHs.
ASPE is realizing its goal of making educational material for members and nonmembers readily available. The prices for the products are very affordable compared
to other educational providers.
Education never stops. The Education Committee now is working to include the
technical sessions from the 2009 Technical Symposium and already has started on
more PowerPoint presentations, and ASPE Director of Education Cliff Reis is planning
the next batch of webinars. The demand for material is huge, but ASPE is up to the
challenge of providing our members with high-quality products. ✻

The only way to confirm
your imported pipe meets
standards is by asking for
product inspection reports.
Thanks to new revisions to the ASTM
standards, it’s now easier to protect yourself
from the uncertainty surrounding imported
cast iron. The revisions call for product
inspection reports to be available upon
request that contain more specific and
detailed cast iron data across a broader
range of pipe samples. If importers can’t
provide them, ask questions like - Where
was it made? And, were the raw materials
screened for radioactive material?
