But what does "resilience" really mean, and how does it apply to educational institutions? 24 Home and Campus Care By Steven R. Hultin, P.E., CEFP and John P. Morris, P.E., CEFP Most people consider their house to be worthy of an investment, but if that investment is not maintained it will inevitably deteriorate and lose its value, and likely become a true money pit. e same concept applies to caring for your campus buildings, grounds, and supporting infrastructure. e question is, "Can we apply what we know about the cost of home expenses to campus buildings?" 28 Ensure an Optimized Building Environment with a BEMS Solution By Matt Gates Leveraging a building energy management system (BEMS) can help educational institutions tackle tough investment decisions when choosing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) solutions that help create quiet, comfortable classrooms for students and teachers. In most cases, schools want to address these issues but are faced with a variety of constraints and competing priorities that make investment decisions difficult. 47 APPA Thought Leaders Report 2016, Part 2, Remaking the Facilities Organization november/december 2016 • volume 32 number 6 features THE RESILIENT 18 28 2016 APPA THOUGHT LEADERS SERIES REMAKING THE FACILITIES ORGANIZATION APPA_TLS_2016.indd 1 9/12/16 2:56 PM 24
