This easy-to-use PM system for K-12 schools is designed to help maintenance professionals identify, assess, and address equipment and material deficiencies before they become costly malfunctions. Comprised of a book, wall chart, and electronic forms, the material includes over 40 checklists that cover all areas of schools and also provides expert guidance on estimating, repairing deficiencies, outsourcing, and budgeting.
Information is organized by building systems such as HVAC, roofing, and lighting, and by areas such as classrooms, cafeterias, auditoriums, and playing fields. The checklists also include comprehensive details on what to look for, how often, and what PM procedures are required to preserve the integrity of the school. Inspection frequencies are broken into intervals-from biweekly to every five years.
Users will learn exactly how to implement a successful PM system-from training staff and record keeping, to conducting regular inspections and performing the tasks necessary to sustain the life of the building and ward off equipment failure. The system can be customized for special conditions of facilities by using the electronic checklists downloadable from the book's Web site. A laminated wall chart is included to track progress.
The book comes in a 3-ring binder, with downloadable electronic files and wall chart. 230 pp.
