Associate of Building Maintenance Technology: Degree Overview
A building maintenance technician is the equivalent of a general practice physician and on occasion, an emergency room surgeon. Today's complex heating, plumbing and electrical systems have, in many cases, outstripped the seat-of-the-pants abilities of the old-style 'handyman'. Yet someone has to keep them operating, and the holder of an Associate of Building Maintenance Technology degree can become that man (or woman) of the hour when things go drastically wrong.

• The project's glazing also had to be fine-tuned to achieve a delicate balance between achieving energy savings in the hot Texas sun and not distorting the view to the outdoors. “The grid that was established in the [master] plan was on a 37-degree angle, which was great for some things but tough for sun control,” says Kuspan. Seton Healthcare Network wanted to avoid any hint of a “techy” look on the exterior; therefore, no applied exterior shading devices, no sunshades, no vertical blades, and definitely no motorized systems.The team solve this problem by using high-efficiency, double-e coated glass high up on the walls and clearer glass, with low-level coatings, in what Kuspan calls “the sweet spot” from three to seven feet above the floor, where greater transparency was called for.
• The sustainable design elements were ruled out by the owner.For example, interior light shelves were vetoed by the hospital because they were seen as dust collectors and a potential infection control threat. Even without light shelves, however, the Building Team was able to use the open spaces in the courtyards to daylight more than 80% of occupied administrative and nonclinical spaces. Perhaps more remarkable was their ability to get daylight into 35% of diagnostic and treatment areas. By using the LEED “alternative compliance path,” the project was able to earn the first LEED point for daylighting by a hospital.
