Congatulations!!!

As many of you already know Piedmont recently hosted a Certified Energy Manager (CEM) class in which participants from Piedmont, other Service Logic companies and outsiders reviewed CEM material, studied hard, and took the CEM exam. 

Special congratulations to Chris Turner, Shane Corbett, Mark Fowler and Scott Gugenheim for successfully passing the test.  This is a great accomplishment for these 4 as individuals and as members of the Piedmont Team. 

We anticipate continuing the process of CEM certification for the others who participated with continuing class, study and testing.  One of the most important things for all of us to remember is that this class greatly increased and enhanced our knowledge about energy concepts, financial impacts and energy strategies.  Everyone who participated in the class is smarter now than they were when they started.  Without regard to testing outcome, this alone made it worth it for all of us.  For that we thank all of the participants.  

Great job everyone!!!!

-Peter Williams, President

Congratulations Jeremiah!

Please help me congratulate Jeremiah on his promotion to Projects/Start-up Supervisor.  Jeremiah has been managing the Construction Start-up Group for several years and stands ready to accept this new challenge in Service Projects.  Jeremiah has provided outstanding leadership over the last several years in managing this part of Construction to reduce the amount of call backs and warranty calls.  He brings a tremendous amount of HVAC knowledge and experience with him to aid in his success at his new position.  Not only will he be taking the reins from Roger in the Projects group but he will still continue managing the Construction Start-up Group.  We feel that Jeremiah has the ambition, desire and great attitude that will make this a seamless transition.

Please congratulate Jeremiah when you see him for stepping up and helping us as we continue to grow!

Congratulations Roger!

Please help me congratulate Roger on yet another position within the company.  Since Roger started working here he has always stepped up and helped in whatever role we have asked him to.  Roger first came to Piedmont as a residential service technician in 1981.  Since then he has worn many hats for us including; commercial service technician, service supervisor, service manager, BAS technician, and service project supervisor.

Now he starts his new role as Controls Specialist.  For more than a year now we have been trying to come up with a plan to help support all of our service branches with maintenance, service diagnostics, and repairs for different building automation systems.  As many of you know it is impossible to find one person that can work on all the different manufacturers systems.  Roger has experience with many of the control systems we see on a daily basis.  Roger has seen firsthand how important this position is to our business, when we finally decided we needed to move forward with hiring someone Roger volunteered.  I can’t think of anyone that would be better at this job than him.

Roger will work in the Automated Facility Solutions Division of our company.  His main responsibilities will be to make sure we get the maintenance performed and to support services within this division for all of our service branches.

Please congratulate Roger when you see him for stepping up and helping us as we continue to grow this division.
