BOMA San Francisco Members:
In January 2013, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) will introduce lower emissions standards for boilers. According to the members of BOMA San Francisco's Energy & Environment Committee, building owners and managers should be proactive and contact the BAAQMD to inquire if their boilers and generators are property permitted. If not, the replacements, e.g., broilers, offer an attractive payback potential.
At present, there are a number of commercial buildings in San Francisco that are out of compliance. See our May 1st blog post, below, for more information and contact the BAAQMD:

The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) limits the air pollution emissions of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter from industrial, institutional, and commercial boilers, steam generators and process heaters, all of which are collectively known as 'boilers' as well as stationary internal combustion engines (IC Engines). The Air District Inspection Staff will conduct inspections to ensure the equipment is registered or permitted and in compliance with emission standards.
Equipment Registration
Effective January 1, 2011 boilers, steam generators or process heaters with a rated heat input >2 MM BTU/hr to <10 MM BTU/hr must be registered with BAAQMD. Please click on the link below to register this equipment.
