Preventive Operations and Maintenance

Update your preventive maintenance plan to ensure your building is operating as efficiently as possible

How it works

Preventive maintenance plans increase the life of your equipment and prevent unexpected breakdowns. Plans should include a schedule and steps to check for efficient operations, so you can reduce unnecessary disruptions. These steps can include performing regular tune-ups on your HVAC systems, reviewing and adjusting lighting schedules in your facility, and optimizing control settings based on occupant use patterns.

There are also a wide variety of technologies to support your facility staff in conducting preventive operations and maintenance, including real time energy management systems.
