18 W e d n e sd a y, Fe b ru a ry 5 , 2 0 1 4 THE JON-E-VAC CENTRAL TOILET VENTILATING SYSTEM FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION IS BEING RE-INTRODUCED JON-E-VAC® Corporation is pleased to once again showcase its Toilet Ventilating Central System for new construction plus the availability of a complete kit for easier installation. Two years ago, the company turned its attention back to the Central System after having dedicated many years to perfecting the Retrofit System. It became very evident that the Central System was very important to incorporate into the company's product line, as many people when building a commercial building, new home or renovating preferred the built-in model where the filter housing would be hidden. The concept of the Central System is the same as the Retrofit for remov- ing the odor and bacteria directly from the toilet bowl to provide a fresh and healthy bathroom environment. The difference being that with the Central System, the hoses disappear into the wall behind the toilet into the filter housing inside the wall where the noxious air is cleaned and expelled to the outside or the attic, depending on the situation. The JON-E-VAC Central System is available to fit either a 4-inch wall cavity or a 6-inch wall cavity. The company will now also provide a complete kit consisting of the necessary fan, isolation reducer with clamps and a ball valve. All these components have been tested extensively to work in perfect GOING MOBILE: SIX STEPS TO KEEP YOUR DATA SECURE By Deb Carpenter-Beck Cloud computing offers some compelling benefits for home builders and remodelers, such as faster deployment of software applications and simpler IT administration. But the real gamechanger is the connection of the cloud with those handy mobile devices we all know and love. Cloud and mobility are essentially blood brothers. Cloud is the method for deploying apps and information on the Internet or other network; mobile devices are a means to access it. Today's use of mobile devices to connect with cloudbased apps is providing greater communication on the job site, from accessing current job cost information to more efficiently submitting daily field reports. But with those mobile devices come some hidden security risks if precautions aren't taken. The business use of company and employee-owned smart phones and tablets requires a new way of thinking for you and your employees and new approaches to security. Our industry as a whole still has work to do in this area. According to the Sage 2013 Construction IT Survey, 60 percent of construction firms currently have no mobile security plan in place. How do you quickly move toward establishing a mobile security plan? Take these key steps to start mitigating your risk: 1. Set some immediate ground rules. For starters, consider applying existing security policies to mobile devices (such as password length). Share your intention to publish a more formal policy at a later date. C o n stru c tio n Ma rke tp la c e harmony with the Toilet Ventilating System to produce the proper CFMs per toilet regardless of how many are used in the same location. It is possible to introduce one or more Central Systems in different locations within a building. Our Engineering Department will help to work out the specifics as to whether one or more fans are necessary. The company will also work with the client on any necessary specifications. It will still be necessary to change the special charcoal filter at certain intervals, even though no odor would be evident to give any warning signals that a change is needed. Regular changes are highly recommend because it is not only the odor that is removed, but also the bacteria, which is actually more detrimental than any odor. In a residential setting, a change of filter is recommended approximately every two years. In public restrooms where the toilets would be used on a 2. Involve your employees. People are passionate about their devices, especially if it is their personal phone or tablet. If you don't fully understand how they use their devices and implement policies that are too restrictive, they will rebel. 3. Create a list of approved technologies. Consider creating a directory or list of acceptable devices and apps. This will ensure employees only use technology and apps from trusted providers. 4. Develop a security plan. Take into consideration important practices such as data wiping, password standards and employee access levels. 5. Publish a policy. Establish appropriate security controls, clearly explain the expectations to employees, define company rights, outline expense reimbursement and communicate what technical support the company will provide. 6. Enforce security policies. Like any guidelines, without enforcement, employees will view your mobile securi- more frequent basis, every 12 months is the recommended interval. If a new construction or a renovation is not part of the picture, the Retrofit JON-EVACModels can be installed. These units can be operated either by remote control, light sensor or continuous mode. The seats fit all standard toilets, whether it is for a Central System or a Retrofit System. They all contain an antimicrobial agent and are made with polypropylene plastic and stainless steel components. The System has been tested by an independent laboratory and traps/kills bacteria that is removed directly from the toilet bowl.

Consider mobile device management tools to simplify enforcement. Mobile technologies provide convenience, improve collaboration and keep projects moving.
