Coordinating preventive maintenance with energy management
A comprehensive preventive maintenance program is an essential ingredient in any energy management program for municipal buildings. In fact, as stated in Building Operating Management, ''Preventive maintenance offers one of the highest rates of return for any energy management project.'' Ongoing maintenance of heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) and lighting systems and equipment saves not only on energy/operating costs in the short run, but also on capital expenses for system and equipment replacement in the long run. The purpose of this project was to develop on a pilot basis the tools and techniques necessary for the implementation of a preventive maintenance program for city facilities. 10 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab.
