PRO is helping with Toys for Tots this year!

Pro Mechanical Services is helping collect toys and money for Toys for Tots! 

 

The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens.

 

 

YOU CAN HELP TOO!

Please donate a toy to your local drop off destination today!  You can go to www.toysfortots.org to find the closest drop off location or you can come say 'Hi' and drop off toys at Pro!

 

 

Pro Mechanical Services would like to wish you and yours a very

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

 

It's that time of year again when we have to start thinking about cold weather and winter quickly approaching!

With winter quickly approaching, now is the time to get your home "energy" ready.

Here are some things you may want to consider doing before it gets too cold:

• re-caulking around windows and doors
• checking insulation in crawl spaces
• check water pipes to make sure they are insulated and freeze protected
• if your attic is well ventilated and insulated, you will be less likely to have ice dams build up on eves
• clean out gutters so water doesn't get trapped and freeze

You can find this information and more like it by visiting www.avistautilities.com.

PRO Mechanical Services, Inc. Honored

Pro Mechanical Services, Inc. Was Honored for Case Study

 Pro Mechanical Services, Inc. was one of three contractors honored for the work accomplished on a project at the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture that turned into a Case Study. Ryan Vanos and Jon Vanos received the award at Honeywell's Momentum Conference in Phoenix, Arizona this past week.

The Goals of this project were the following:

· Increase functionality by integrating systems onto single platform

· Control building from one location

· Control individual rooms based on specific exhibit schedule

· Manage climate control in key exhibit areas

· Optimize energy savings

· Utilize existing components and systems where possible

The Honeywell Products Pro Mechanical Services Installed:

· WEBs-AX™ building automation software

· WEBs-AX 600 conrtoller

· Spyder® controllers

· Tridium Niagara Framework®

The Results Were:

·         Used existing components and sensors—WEBs-AX 600 backbone central control

·         Ability to control rooms based on meeting and exhibit schedules

·         Flexibility of the system to manage specific areas and maximize energy savings

·         Scheduling around peak load times now possible

·         Achieved significant energy savings even when raw energy costs went up

·         Obtained energy savings on project by taking advantage of local utility incentives

·         Reduced cost on maintenance and service now that 90 percent can be managed remotely

“It just doesn’t make sense to expend the energy to maintain an entire building just to provide the proper temperature and humidity to an exhibit that occupies a fraction of the overall space.  We needed precise control.” –Mark Webber, Facilities Manager, Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture, Spokane, WA

CONGRATULATIONS to all the employees that helped make the Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture Case Study a success!!!

Tips to Saving Energy Around the Office

You may be surprised to learn that electronic office equipment has emerged as the fastest-growing energy user in commercial buildings in the United States.  In fact, office equipment makes up approximately 7% of all commercial sector power consumption, accounting for $1.8 billion per year in total energy costs.  Taking steps to reduce energy consumption in the office not only reduces energy bills, it reduces the impact of harmful emissions on the environment as well.

Some Energy Conservation Strategies:

Saving energy requires more than just circulating a memo around the office.  It involves conservation practices that must be followed by everyone in the office:

• Turn off screen savers on computers. 
• Use low-power sleep or standby mode on copiers and printers during working hours.
• Turn off equipment at night and on the weekends.
• Make copies in batches, with the duplex setting turned on whenever possible.
• Make fewer copies.
• Turn off lights when not in the room.
