Maintenance and Operating Plan

1. HVAC systems include all heating, cooling and ventilating equipment serving
a building. Boilers or furnaces, chillers, cooling towers, air handling units,
exhaust fans, ductwork and filters are all part of the the HVAC systems for a
building.

2. A proactive HVAC management plan is a key to providing good indoor air
quality. A properly designed and functioning HVAC system should provide
the following functions.
a) Control temperatures and relative humidity to provide thermal
comfort.
b) Distribute adequate amounts of outside air to meet ventilation needs of
building occupants.
c) Isolate and remove odors and other contaminants.
Not all HVAC systems in place are designed with the features that will maximize the
objectives as listed above. That’s why upgrading is required from time to time for the  HVAC systems to accomplish these goals.

3. Maintenance and Operation Information
a) Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds will detail the type of systems used
in each building, location of equipment and other HVAC information.
b) HVAC components will be regularly scheduled for maintenance and
records of the maintenance kept at each building.
c) Each Head Building Custodian will maintain a record of operation
schedules, maintenance and repair records, testing and balancing reports
and inspections.
d) The Supervisor of Building and Grounds will work with the Director of
Finance to schedule major repairs and replacements within state funding
guidelines.

4. Training
The IAQ & Duct Cleaning Enterprise will coordinate with the Buildings Environmental
Management Consultant to provide custodial and maintenance staff with periodic
training on preventive maintenance and troubleshooting of indoor air quality
problems. The training will provide information to assist staff to recognize,
prevent and resolve IAQ problems.
