Summary
This easy-to-use system for K-12 schools comes with a book, wall chart, and electronic PM forms designed to help maintenance professionals identify, assess, and address equipment and material deficiencies before they become costly malfunctions. Over 40 checklists cover all areas of schools, organized by building systems such as HVAC, roofing, and lighting, and by areas such as classrooms, cafeterias, auditoriums, and playing fields.
The checklists include comprehensive details on what to look for, how often, and what PM procedures are required to preserve the integrity of the school. Inspection frequencies are broken into intervals-from biweekly to every five years.
