Even the most high-profile businesses aren’t safe from abrupt closures because of leasing issues. Whether you’re a longstanding business facing a renewal negotiation or a startup moving into a brand new space\, our leasing expert is here to help you make the process work in your favor. Learn the 13 common mistakes tenants make in the leasing process and the steps you need to take to avoid them. Walk away with proven strategies for negotiating a rent reduction during lease renewal and other benefits like free rent or tenant allowances\, get insights on how to effectively manage the relationship with real estate agents and landlords\, and understand why tenants should almost never exercise their renewal option. \nAll attendees will have the option to receive a complimentary copy of the book “Negotiating Commercial Leases & Renewals for Dummies” authored by presenter Dale Willerton\, The Lease Coach.\n_____ \nClosed captioning is available in 30 languages. \n  \nRegistation Link: https://www.bigmarker.com/NationalRestaurantShow/13-Costly-Mistakes-Foodservice-Tenants-Make-Negotiating-Leases-Renewals?utm_bmcr_source=CEPartner

SUMMARY:Building Management Systems for Modern HVAC - (1 CEU)
DESCRIPTION:Building Management Systems for Modern HVAC – PDH\nCourse Description:\nModern buildings are complex; there are lighting systems\, HVAC\, pumps\, security systems\, utilities\, and more. More often than not\, it makes sense to connect all this equipment to a centralized controller or Building Management System (BMS) in order to properly monitor and control it all. In this video we explore how a custom BMS can extract the most performance out of a sophisticated piece of equipment like Paragon HVAC. We apply various use cases including troubleshooting\, comfort\, and efficiency examples\, with a look towards the future and the use of AI. \nPrerequisite Knowledge:\nNone \nLearning Objective 1:\nUnderstand what a Building Management System is and its basic uses. \nLearning Objective 2:\nCompare and contrast traditional HVAC troubleshooting with the proactive approach\nBuilding Management Systems can provide. \nLearning Objective 3:\nUnderstand how Building Management Systems can be used by engineers to improve\nthe efficiency of HVAC equipment. \nLearning Objective 4:\nUnderstand how HVAC equipment can be improved using large pools of data gathered\nby Building Management Systems.

SUMMARY:Norbec - How To Specify a Custom Walk-In Cooler - (1 CEU)
DESCRIPTION:Course Description​: Walk-in coolers and freezers are not just for restaurants. They’re found in schools\, hospitals\, food-processing plants\, and laboratories. Sometimes a stocked\, prefabricated walk-in will suffice\, but most coolers and freezers require a custom solution.​ \nThis course will walk you through the specification considerations for a custom walk-in including size\, temperature\, refrigeration\, energy efficiency\, floors\, doors\, and more. You’ll see how each area relates to one another in supporting an energy-conscious and durable walk-in assembly.​ \n  \nLearning Objectives​:  \nAt the end of this course\, participants will be able to: ​ \n\nReview all components of a walk-in cooler/freezer assembly and how an energy-efficient refrigeration system works.​\nIdentify all the considerations when determining the size of a walk-in cooler including the products to be stored\, shelves and carts\, ventilation\, and future needs.​\nDetermine a walk-in’s temperature based on type of products\, humidity\, usage\, and more.​\nAcknowledge the importance of the cooler’s insulated panels’ R-value\, efficient refrigeration\, and controls/monitors to meet or exceed energy-administration requirements. ​\nExplain how walk-in panels contribute to LEED v4.​\n\nAddress the importance of specifying the right door\, floor\, finishes\, and other considerations \n  \nContact Marilou Leclaire for more info – mleclaire@norbec.com
