STRATEGIES FOR INCORPORATING ONGOING PERFORMANCE
MEASUREMENT INTO A PROJECT:
ADHERE TO THE OWNER'S PROJECT REQUIREMENTS. Prepare detailed
owner's project requirements at the beginning of the design process and
conduct commissioning throughout the life-cycle of the project to ensure that
the building functions as designed.
PROV IDE STAFF TRAINING. Knowledge and training empower facilities managers
to maintain and improve the performance of buildings.
CONDUCT PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE. Develop a robust preventive maintenance
program to keep the building in optimal condition.
CREATE INCENTIVES FOR OCCUPANTS AND TENANTS. Involve building
occupants in energy efficiency strategies. Promote the use of energy-efficient
computers and equipment. bill tenants from submeter readings to encourage energy
conservation. educate occupants about shutting down computers and turning out
lights before they leave. and give them regular feedback on energy performance.
