Understanding HVAC systems is essential for its proper maintenance. Quarterly maintenance of your HVAC systems is important to extend the system’s lifespan and save hundreds of dollars on unexpected repairs. Regular maintenance of residential HVAC systems is essential when it comes not only to the proper function of boilers, furnaces, and AC units but also for better energy efficiency and in-home air quality. A properly maintained HVAC system can cut hydro costs from five to ten percent, as well as improving comfort and air quality.

The main purpose of HVAC is to provide the people working inside the building with “CONDITIONED AIR” so that they will have a comfortable and safe work environment.
A BMS system collects the operating information required for intelligent building management.
It analyses the operation of the building systems by viewing all important temperatures, humidities and equipment status.
To:
Ensures energy savings
Improves building operations
Improves building operations allowing remote control/over-ride where necessary
Improves building management by means reporting and traceability
Improves building management by means reporting and traceability
Improves building management by having a faster reaction time to problems
Integrating fire protection and fire alarm systems with building automation systems (BAS) can offer efficient and cost-effective operation. The design and installation of an integrated system must also be well-planned and coordinated, and the system must be properly maintained over its lifetime. The need for multidisciplinary coordination between the fire protection engineer and the mechanical and electrical engineers during design and construction are of key importance. Design engineers also must involve the building owner and/or operator in establishing (or at least influencing) the design criteria of the building. The owner/operator must understand that the efficiencies gained by integration will pay dividends long into the lifecycle of the building.
Like a BAS, fire protection and alarm systems have also evolved into sophisticated computer-based systems, which offers more opportunities to integrate these systems to develop a more complete building response as part of overall building operations during an emergency event.

Pm training (planning and tracking) - Project Leader Ramp-Up Mobi Marketing
Course Objective
The purpose of this course is to make a short summary about the Fsoft processes & practices to be used in the project context.
This course is not aimed to replace the normal training courses.
In Leadership it is best to first consider what portion a leader might be able to own, improve or at least recognize before implementing improvement or judging others in the outcome. The class and topic will break down the book written by Jocko and Leif as discussion points about managing with a perspective to consider one’s own actions first. Participants should leave class with a strategic approach to leading an organization that considers yourself as a part of team, implementing lessons learned in critical battlefield situations and applying those lessons in business.
This class and topic will cover a series of continuous improvement approaches used in business.
The discussion will ensure that lessons learned during class become tools an employee or manager may use to ensure improvements.
Topics include but are not limited to Poke Yoke, Kaizen, 5S and Six Sigma.
OEMs can not sufficiently include the local finished installation operation of equipment. Employees and users will need additional information to ensure a full understanding o the nature of how systems operate at the final local implemented design. This class and topic will cover a systematic logical approach to improving the documented operational communication in the workplace primarily the guides, procedures, and policies. Our goals will include but not be limited to a company specific approach to procedural improvement much like what a professional technical writer might offer to a business. Results taken after lessons learned in this class should improve the understanding employees have about processes, reduce operational mistakes and institutionalize company expectations into written guides.

Discussion
Editor's Notes
PM for Facilities Management.
PM overall process includes many things that make the final routine work mean so much more in the long run.
Not being exposed to Legionnaires disease, never failing a Fire inspection, never missing a Sunday Morning Worship Service.
No one slipping and falling on a Sunday mornings
Condensate Drains that never clogged and fill the pan on a Sunday morning
Emergency Lighting works on a sudden loss of power on a Wed Night
Building always smells good, trash is never overflowing
Your ultimate goals are only achieved by taking smaller steps today – if you want customer satisfaction at starbucks then the equipment has to operate before you can improve the flavor of the coffee.
Efficiency -Used by planner for parts, tools, inventory
Scheduling – Routine planning of Equipment downtime and employee work, reminder
Safety – Work completed before failure and in consistent documented trained method, protect building occupants/. PM includes the steps of safety and proper tools. So that a bandaid is not applied or Crescent is not used when a lug wrench is required.
Consistency - regardless of employee, staff, time
Eliminate outside contractors possibly – Schedule outside contractors for less trip charge or annual reduced cost contract, employee has tools and procedure to perform in house
Customer (user, member, congregant) Satisfaction – always operational, comfortable, clean, safe,
Lower long term cost / expense. Min quality standard always maintained.
User / technician friendly, straightforward, easy to use, comprehensible
Owner’s manual simplified – converted to local application – meat of info filtered and re-written
Facility / campus specific – after install of components the procedures may change or can be simplified.
Check list, check boxes, maps, color coded
Wording related to reader -
Volunteers able to step in

Floor drains as an example of simple steps, clear and easy to understand
Picture of Simple – but effective
Flush drains with map for locations
Partial map location color coded for need and type of drain to fill
Begin folders / binders / naming system
The amount of items on your campus and the need for improved procedures in so many areas can quickly be overwhelming
Code system
Consistent across campus such as a template
Consistent in the completion and approval of final drafts
Directly related or same as PM / attached to PM
Groups or categories for finding PM
Begin folders / binders / naming system – calendar / spreadsheet
Show Code system A, SA, Qtrly, Bi-Monthly, Monthly, Bi-Weekly, Weekly, Daily
Consistent format – using Word templates for instance, page number location, revision location at bottom, initials for who edited.
Instruction sets - Directly related to Task or recurring task or same as PM / attached to PM
What is most important, spend energy time on those procedures, sops, guidelines
Safety, cost, time reduction,
Importance vs Urgency – matrix how important or what is impact and how urgent or what is the schedule requirement
List and Audit
Impact to people
Impact to operations
Impact to facility

Only accessible by those with keys, in sleeves with map attached
Every employee (custodial / maintenance tech) has login
Every maintenance personnel has key to location of files
Preventative - reduce failure, extend life of campus and equipment, and improve customer satisfaction. Should be a sweet spot in the overall cost to own, maintain, and replace in the overall life of a building or asset.
Predictive - first to predict when equipment failure might occur, and secondly, to prevent occurrence of the failure by performing maintenance. allows the maintenance frequency to be as low as possible to prevent unplanned reactive maintenance, without incurring costs associated with doing too much preventative maintenance. techniques include vibration analysis, oil analysis, thermal imaging, and equipment observation. only performed on machines when it is required. That is, just before failure is likely to occur. Reduce labor hours lost to maintenance. Reduce cost of spare parts and supplies. Minimizes equipment maintenance downtime. Not suitable for all applications. Comes at a cost to perform the predictive measures
Deferred - postponing maintenance activities such as repairs on both real property (campus / buildings) and property (equipment) in order to save costs, meet budget, or realign available budget. could lead to asset deterioration and ultimately asset impairment. may result in higher costs, asset failure, and in some cases, health and safety implications.
Run to Fail (RTF) - plans for a full replacement once the equipment fails. To reduce maintenance cost but may increase overall ownership cost. when maintenance is very hard to perform or gain access to or on very low or non-critical equipment.
Condition Based - when a condition is met, such as mileage, run hours, tank level. Other than routine time schedule.
Planned / Scheduled / Programmed - Same or alternate name for Preventative as these listed above or has a more consistent calendaring condition to the maintenance. May include Condition-based Maintenance with Preventative Maintenance for a combined category called Planned or Schedule Maintenance.

Simple, clear, routine,
Example of a much more complex yet important procedure requiring detail because of training level of performer, low frequency of completion specific to our campus and location.
Critical item
What needs a PM – importance / critical (lessons learned, hard spots in employee relationships, incident reports, )
What needs to be done first – priority / urgency
What format do we use - template
Where will it be stored, accessible
How do we organize it for clarity and ease of use and consistency – GG (general guidelines), SG (Specific Guidelines), PMP (Preventative Maintenance Procedure), CMP (Custodial Maintenance Procedure), etc. .001 or 01-02 (GG01-02)
Template / Calendar / code system for instance
Hired an intern to inventory, audit,

See handout -
Example of an early hand written PM process put in binders and only reference on a wet erase calendar.
Starting point before going to electronic PMs’
PMs look professional and have the same standard.
A good template like the handout can have multiple areas to help remind you but can be left with an N/A in that section when not necessary.
Put PM or reminder on calendar to review all Procedures for updates/ accuracy / is equipment still on campus / do we still do it that way?
