The RS Means - Preventive Maintenance for Higher Education Facilities is a complete PM system for colleges and universities and features models of typical campus facilities, checklists, and a dedicated Web site. This easy-to-use tool includes interactive models for the primary building types found in different-sized colleges and universities, including dormitories, classroom buildings, laboratories, athletic facilities, and more.
The information provided for each model covers the systems and equipment most often found on campuses with the appropriate PM standards linked to each piece of equipment or system, along with required labor hours to complete those tasks. Four established priority levels enable facility professionals to select and develop the best possible PM plan within their particular budget constraints.
This reference book includes 13 interactive building models for small-to-large colleges and universities and 50 PM checklists outlining the specific PM tasks, associated labor hours and costs, and recommended frequencies - all on heavy-stock paper for easy photocopying and in electronic format on the book's dedicated Website.
The authors also provide guidance on:
- Selling the need for PM to the governing body, including identifying the impact if a PM program is not implemented.
- Defining the annual cost of PM, in labor and materials.
- Prioritizing PM tasks to fit your budget -- based on accepted equipment maintenance practices.
- Carrying out the equipment inventory.
- Using PM standards checklists.
- Selecting a CMMS and incorporating PM into the program.
