Green Building Tours - Friday, September 12th

noemail@houstonboma.org — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 13:00:00 GMT

You are invited to attend the seventh of a series of free, public tours of certified green buildings here in Houston. The tour will take place on Friday, September 12, 2008, every 30 minutes from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Satterfield & Pontikes Construction office, near the West Belt & Clay Road at 11,000 Equity Drive, Houston, Texas 77041. Please go to www.houstontx.gov/mayor/leedtour.pdf for more details and a map. Light refreshments provided.

Green buildings save owners and users money with greater energy efficiency. They are better for our environment with more re-use of material. Ultimately, they foster a happier and healthier workplace for employees. To help us along this path, the City of Houston has put together the Mayor's Green Building Advisory Council in partnership with companies that have led the way in green building and achieved certification of their facilities according to LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) green building rating standards. The objective of this group is to share experiences including cost/benefit business cases and key learning with others to help accelerate green building across the city.

We very much welcome your participation in this event and your interest and support for green building efforts across Houston. For more information on the Green Building Tour, please contact Steve Stelzer at 713-535-7508 or e-mail at steve.stelzer@cityofhouston.net

Thank you so much for your continued support of this effort!

Building Expo . . . 2010!

noemail@houstonboma.org — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 14:00:00 GMT

Houston BOMA is hosting the 2009 Southwest Regional Conference next spring! Because this event will tax our Allied Professional member resources and would severely limit the size of our Building Expo, and, after much careful deliberation and with input from the Allied Professional Council and the Building Expo Committee, the Houston BOMA Board has made the decision to put the 2009 Building Expo on hold until 2010.

What does this mean for you? It means you have a rare opportunity to participate in showing off our fair city at the 2009 Southwest Regional Conference! Be part of supporting something really BIG here in Houston as we host the seven cities of our BOMA region. All of the details are available on our website at:

http://www.houstonboma.org/attachments/files/620/09%20Sponsorship%20Flyer.Form.5.pdf

We will be back in 2010 with the Building Expo promising to be bigger and better than ever before, providing our members with yet another excellent opportunity to network and build on valuable relationships within the industry.

Education: CPM to RPA Fast Track Designation

noemail@houstonboma.org — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 13:00:00 GMT

If you currently have your CPM designation and are looking to gain your RPA designation, you are eligible for competency credits that fast track you through the RPA program.

To obtain your RPA, you are required to take 8 courses and complete an experience requirement. If you have your CPM, you are eligible for "Cluster Competency" (see page 3). By having your CPM, you are given credit for your designation course work. You will be exempt from four of the required courses and the experience requirement. This means that you will only need to take the following four courses to receive your RPA designation:

Design, Part I
Design, Part II
Budgeting & Accounting
Environmental Health & Safety Issues

Keep in mind, there is a cost involved to credit out of these courses. And you will still need to register with BOMI. Contact Laci at BOMI Institute at (410) 974-1410 ext. 328 to do so. For more information, please contact Laurie at (713) 266-5691 or ljones@houstonboma.org.

Building Owners to Reduce Energy Consumption by 30%

noemail@houstonboma.org — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 22:00:00 GMT

For Information: Tammy Betancourt 713.266.5691 February 18, 2008 – The Houston Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) announced today that it has accepted Mayor Bill White’s challenge to improve the quality of life in Houston and is encouraging all its members to commit to a 30 percent energy reduction in office buildings across the city by 2012. This makes Houston the first large city in the United States to accept BOMA International’s 7-Point Challenge to further green and sustainable practices – a move that has received praise from the EPA. Already committed to this effort are leading Houston companies such as Crescent Real Estate Equities, Hines Interests, Midway Companies, Thomas Properties Group, Transwestern, and CBRE. As integral members of this community, we feel it is imperative we go above and beyond Mayor White’s environmental initiatives and to take a proactive leadership role, said John Kelley, President of Houston BOMA.

BOMA HOUSTON IS AWARDED PRESTIGIOUS GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS COMMITTEE OF THE YEAR AWARD

noemail@houstonboma.org — Wed, 31 Jan 2007 22:00:00 GMT

LAS VEGAS (January 28, 2007) At the opening luncheon of its Winter Business Meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada, the Building Owners and Managers Association International (BOMA) awarded BOMA Houston with the coveted 2007 Government Affairs Committee of the Year Award. BOMA Houston was cited for its aggressive advocacy agenda in support of the association’s mission advancing the interests of the commercial real estate industry. A few of the projects mentioned by the judges were: · When the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) attempted to unionize the city’s janitorial workforce, BOMA Houston mobilized its resources by hiring a law firm and public relations firm and enlisting its members to lessen the union’s impact. · The association was integral in drafting an ordinance impacting commercial properties which would create a notification system for owners when their building plans were accessed, thereby increasing security for the tenancy of the...

Landmark Notification Ordinance Passed

noemail@houstonboma.org — Wed, 04 Jan 2006 14:00:00 GMT

HOUSTON BUILDING OWNERS APPLAUD NOTIFICATION ORDINANCE

In a landmark decision, Houston City Council adopted an ordinance allowing the notification of building owners when their building plans are accessed. A voluntary program adopted on December 21st, the ordinance requires that upon registration and the payment of a $50 fee for two years, each building owner or its representative will be notified each time any individual requests access to structural building plans. “This ordinance is a cooperative effort to increase the safety and security of the people who work in the City of Houston,” said BOMA Houston President Rush Durkin with Hines. “The Houston Building Owners and Managers applaud Mayor Bill White, City Council and especially Council Member Adrian Garcia for spearheading this initiative. This is a groundbreaking program that exists nowhere else in the country.” The Houston BOMA Legislative Advocacy Committee and BOMA staff worked with Councilmember Adrian Garcia's office for nearly a year developing the ordinance.

An excellent example of a public/government partnership, it is anticipated that this ordinance will be emulated as the model for municipalities nationwide.

The Houston Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) is a premier network of over 590 commercial real estate professionals representing over 250 million square feet of commercial real estate in the Houston area.
