Building Operator: “a person who has the appropriate skills needed for the day-to-day maintenance and operation of large facilities that have complex heating, mechanical, and electrical systems along with specific knowledge of how to operate the facility in a way that takes into consideration the interplay of building systems to maximize energy and resources efficiency, reduce waste, and provide superior indoor air and other qualities”.
Operations and Maintenance are the decisions and actions regarding the control and upkeep of property and equipment. These are inclusive, but not limited to, the following: 1) actions focused on scheduling, procedures, and work/systems control and optimization; 2) performance of routine, preventive, predictive, scheduled and unscheduled actions aimed at preventing equipment failure or decline with the goal of increasing efficiency, reliability, and safety.
The cost of energy is worrying us all. Whether you’re a parent to young children running the washing machine daily or operating a small business on a shoestring, or managing an important property, saving energy and cutting bills is a priority. But as the price of energy on the international markets rises, and energy suppliers pass on the cost of investment to their consumers, it can feel as if we’re powerless to act.
Maintenance and repair are often overlooked as a possible source of savings, but there are strategies that can be employed which result in significant savings in this department. There are traditional strategies that companies use to save money on maintenance, but they usually prove to be counterproductive in the long run. Some of these strategies are: letting machines run to the point of failure, bargaining for reduced prices on spare parts, and using cheaper parts and upgrading materials.
However, more effective strategies can be employed through smart qualified "Building Operations Management".
