(Hot Spot on the building maintenance person.)
- Remember...“Many IAQ problems result from the fact that key building personnel do not understand how their equipment is supposed to function, or how to maintain it.”
- This maintenance person is a happy camper. He is well trained in all the aspects of maintenance for which he is responsible . His training is updated annually, as new equipment and systems are introduced.
- He has also been trained in IAQ using I-BEAM and now understands how important his maintenance tasks are to good IAQ in his building. He is happy to use I-BEAM checklists which have been modified to accommodate his building, to make sure all aspects of IAQ are covered.
- And he works within a meticulously maintained preventive maintenance administrative system, so he always has access to building information, equipment information, tools, materials, and supplies he needs to do his job well.
