conversations as large replacement projects are often complicated and costly.
Mechanical systems have unique risks when they stop working properly.
Risks of Mechanical Malfunction
The second focus is risk management. Risk management is identifying, analyzing, and accepting the undesirable things that can happen to the building(s) and then determining the things that need to be done to avoid (or to lessen) their negative impact. Mechanical systems have certain unique risks associated with not only their use but also when they stop working properly. These risks can’t always be avoided but they can be mitigated through proper maintenance of the mechanical systems. Once you have your baseline you can now work with your service provider(s) to help identify opportunities for improvement.
The third focus is the operating budget or annualized spending on maintaining the mechanical systems. One of the basic points to understand is that maintenance has been performed the same way for the last 40 years—by changing filters on a time-interval schedule or every three months. The industry is changing—faster than ever.
Rather than a time-interval schedule, contractors focus on the data in the facility.
Time Intervals Versus Data
Rather than a time-interval schedule, specialized contractors are starting to focus more on what the data in the facility is telling us. Commercial buildings have HVAC control systems and thousands of data points that can be useful with the correct AI (artificial intelligence) technology to analyze the information. The information gathered can tell a technician which pieces of equipment to focus their attention on. In other words, AI technology can help technicians spend less time investigating failures and result in more significant energy savings and longer equipment lifecycles—thus leading to lower assessments for your community.
Data is the future, saving time and money for the owners.
