2. OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE
STAFF
• IN THE BUILD ENVIRONMENT, FACILITIES OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE
(O&M) PERSONNEL ARE THE UNCELEBRATED HEROES, WHO WORK BEHIND
THE SCENES PAINSTAKINGLY TO ENSURE THAT BUILDINGS PERFORM
OPTIMALLY AT ALL TIMES. THEY ARE THE ONES WHO MAKE SURE THAT THE
OCCUPANTS OF THE BUILDING ARE SAFE AND COMFORTABLE, AND THAT
SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT ARE MAINTAINED WELL.
• AS PER GENERAL EXPECTATIONS, BUILDING O&M IS A COSTLY AFFAIR. IN
FACT, IT’S THE BIGGEST COST INCURRED IN OWNING AND OPERATING A
FACILITY OVER ITS ENTIRE LIFECYCLE. THANKFULLY, BUILDING
COMMISSIONING MANAGEMENT COMPANIES MAY EASE THE OWNER’S
COST BURDEN SPECIFIC TO O&M WHILE LESSENING THE LEARNING CURVE
OF O&M PERSONNEL, PROVIDED THAT THEY ARE INCLUDED IN THE
TURNOVER PHASE.

4. HOW TO BUILD TURNOVER
• IT IS CRUCIAL TO INCLUDE O&M PERSONNEL IN THE DESIGN AND PLANNING PHASES
OF ANY NEW BUILDING PROJECT – PARTICULARLY, FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE
OWNER’S PROJECT REQUIREMENTS. THEIR CONTRIBUTION IS IMPORTANT WITH
RESPECT TO VERIFYING SYSTEM CAPABILITIES, OFFERING FEEDBACK ON
UNEXPECTED MAINTENANCE-RELATED PROBLEMS, AND GIVING INSIGHTS INTO HOW
END USERS WILL ACTUALLY USE THE BUILDING.
• FOR INSTANCE, IF THE BUILDING IS A COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY DORMITORY, O&M
PERSONNEL COULD EASILY PREDICT THAT THE END USERS WILL CONSUME LARGE
AMOUNTS OF HOT WATER.
• THESE TYPES OF IDEAS CAN HELP FACILITATE THE DESIGN AND FULFIL END USER
NEEDS WHILE ENSURING THAT SYSTEMS ARE JUST AS COMPLICATED AS THEY NEED
TO BE.

COMPLETENESS, ETC. THE DOCUMENTATION PACKAGE BASICALLY TRANSFERS PROJECT-RELATED
KNOWLEDGE TO THE PROFESSIONALS ASSIGNED WITH THE TASK TO ENSURE THAT THE BUILDING
PERFORMS WELL.

7. TAKEAWAY
• OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE PROFESSIONALS ADD VALUE TO THE
CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN OF BUILDINGS THEY WILL BE OPERATING AND
MAINTAINING IN FUTURE. THEREFORE, IT’S IMPORTANT TO HAVE THEIR INPUTS
EARLY ON IN THE PROJECT. THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTNER WITH THEM DURING
THE TURNOVER PHASE IS PROBABLY THE LAST CHANCE FOR COMMISSIONING
MANAGEMENT COMPANIES FOR ENSURING A POSITIVE EFFECT ON THE LONG-
TERM HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE OF ANY BUILDING.
• KNOWLEDGE OF THE BUILDING-SPECIFIC SYSTEMS, EQUIPMENT AND CONTROLS
CAN BE SHARED WITH O&M PERSONNEL IN THE FORM OF A WELL-STRUCTURED
TURNOVER DOCUMENTATION PACKAGE, A USER-FRIENDLY SYSTEMS MANUAL AND
AN EXHAUSTIVE SYSTEMS TRAINING MATERIAL.
