Maintenance and engineering managers face a range of challenges with HVAC systems in institutional and commercial facilities, according to an article from Facility Maintenance Decisions on the FacilitiesNet website.
Of all the engineered systems in facilities, HVAC systems are among the most likely to feel the impact of changing needs, expectations and loads. From a longevity viewpoint, they also have components with the shortest life expectancies.
Long-term planning is essential for managers undertaking a successful program to manage, perform, and evaluate necessary upgrades of HVAC systems.
This planning must be done years in advance and in coordination with overall strategic facility operation and ownership master plans.
