19: Maintenance Scheduling#

Description#

A process in which the functionality of the building structure (walls, floors, roof, etc) and equipment serving the building (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, etc) are maintained over the operational life of a facility. A successful maintenance program will improve building performance, reduce repairs, and reduce overall maintenance costs.

Potential Value#

  • Plan maintenance activities proactively and appropriately allocate maintenance staff

  • Track maintenance history

  • Reduce corrective maintenance and emergency maintenance repairs

  • Increase productivity of maintenance staff because the physical location of equipment/system is clearly understood

  • Evaluate different maintenance approaches based on cost

  • Allow facility managers to justify the need and cost of establishing a reliability centered maintenance program

Resources Required#

  • Design review software to view Record Model and components

  • Building Automation System (BAS) linked to Record Model

  • User-Friendly Dashboard Interface linked to Record Model to provide building performance information and/or other information to educate building users

Team Competencies Required#

  • Ability to understand and manipulate CMMSÂ and building control systems with Record Model

  • Ability to understand typical equipment operation and maintenance practices

  • Ability to manipulate, navigate, and review a 3D Model
