How to use industry standards to create complete, consistent,and accurate equipment inventories
The National Institute of Science and Technology estimates thatthe loss of information between the construction of buildings andtheir operation and maintenance costs facility owners $15.8 billionevery year. This phenomenal loss is caused by inconsistentstandards for capturing information about facilities and theirequipment.
In Equipment Inventories for Owners and FacilityManagers, Robert Keady draws on his twenty+ years of experiencein facility management and his intimate knowledge of CSIclassification systems and standards to tackle this problemhead-on. Using standards already in use in the AEC industry, heprovides the road map for capturing everything owners and facilitymanagers need to know to operate and maintain any facility.
This comprehensive, step-by-step guide:
* Explains the different types of equipment inventories and whythey are important
* Identifies and describes the types of information that shouldbe captured in an equipment inventory
* Describes and compares the different industry standards (CSIOmniClass(TM) and UniFormat(TM); COBie; and SPie) that can beused for equipment inventories
* Provides best practices for identifying and taggingequipment
* Walks through the equipment inventory process with real-worldexamples and best practices
* Provides the tools for conducting the equipmentinventory--tables of all the possible information and data thatneed to be collected, and fifty maps of workflows that can be usedto capture that data immediately
