This month's topic - "Ventilation Management Plan (VMP) Deployment: Leveraging ASHE/ASHRAE Guideline 43 to Prioritize Strategic Infrastructure Investment"
Health care infrastructure is aging rapidly, with the average age of a plant now exceeding 13 years after decades of underinvestment. While hospitals face rising operational, regulatory and environmental pressures, new opportunities are emerging to redefine the ROI of infrastructure investment. ASHE and ASHRAE’s Guideline 43 enables facility leaders to link ventilation management, asset performance and operational flexibility directly to financial outcomes and patient care. By aligning innovation with capital strategy, organizations can elevate infrastructure from a cost center to a business value driver.
Presenter - Mark Mochel, MBA, CHFM, FACHE, SASHE, ACABE - Founder and CEO Infrastructure Investment HC, L.L.C.
Before founding I2HC, Mark was a Strategic Account Executive at Brightly, A Siemens Company. Prior to Brightly, he was a Co-Founder and Senior Vice President at Facility Health Inc., where he was instrumental in introducing new infrastructure investment solutions and benchmarking capabilities to the healthcare industry. Mark has a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from Purdue University, an MBA from The University of Michigan, and has held executive leadership roles in multiple industries, providing a unique perspective on the challenges facing healthcare facility management today. As an advocate for increased infrastructure investment in our industry, and a member of the ASHE National Advisory Board, Mark is passionate about sharing his experience with all who serve and are served through the environment of care.

This month’s topic - “Only You Can Prevent a Construction Fire: Understanding NFPA 241 in Healthcare Construction”
Renovations, upgrades, and new construction projects in or adjacent to existing buildings continue to be a challenge for designers, construction managers, owners, and Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) alike. While NFPA 241 – Standard for Safeguarding Construction, Alteration, and Demolition Operations, has been part of the NFPA family for close to 100 years, recently there has been a renewed focus on life safety and fire protection for renovation and addition projects. To better prevent fires from occurring during the construction process, many AHJs have taken a more proactive approach to the understanding and applying the code.
During this presentation, we will:
Explore NFPA 241 and the code development process
Review fire statistics during construction, demolition, and alterations
Discuss application of NFPA 241
Clarify requirements in the healthcare setting and identify upcoming changes
