\"personDesigning Buildings Wiki (DBW<\/a>), IHBC\u2019s partner platform in our Conservation Wiki<\/a>, has highlighted to its 10,000 registered users a recent take on mainstream construction practice in \u2018planned preventative maintenance (PPM) and technology\u2019 that may offer useful CPD insights to IHBC members less familiar with these processes.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Delivering\u00a0cost<\/a>\u00a0efficiency requires a detailed understanding of the\u00a0building<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0lifecycle<\/a>\u00a0(including its current and projected usage) and its\u00a0structure<\/a>,\u00a0plant<\/a>\u00a0and other\u00a0components<\/a>.<\/p>\n

An understanding of the\u00a0building owner<\/a>\u00a0and\/or manager\u2019s intentions (eg long-term plans for\u00a0refurbishment<\/a>\u00a0or sale), and those of each\u00a0tenant<\/a>, combine to create a comprehensive understanding of need.<\/p>\n

The opposite of reactive\u00a0repairs<\/a>, PPM is essentially a strategic approach which, through ongoing surveillance and\u00a0maintenance<\/a>, can substantially reduce large, unexpected\u00a0costs<\/a>, emergency call-out charges and downtime during\u00a0repair<\/a>\u00a0work.<\/p>\n

A comprehensive PPM\u00a0schedule<\/a>\u00a0ensures that any changes made to a\u00a0building<\/a>\u00a0take note of any obvious issues in relation to\u00a0statutory requirements<\/a>. This includes identifying the provision and\u00a0means of escape<\/a>,\u00a0disability<\/a>\u00a0access<\/a>,\u00a0energy<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0health and safety<\/a>\u00a0issues, drawing-up\u00a0reports<\/a>, with action followed through as necessary\u2026<\/p>\n

For example, the\u00a0Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard<\/a>\u00a0Regulations<\/a>\u00a0(MEES) were implemented in 2018. It is now illegal for new\u00a0leases<\/a>\u00a0to be granted, or existing\u00a0leases<\/a>\u00a0renewed, on commercial properties in\u00a0England<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Wales<\/a>\u00a0with an\u00a0energy performance certificate<\/a>\u00a0(EPC) rating of F or G. While the new MEES\u00a0Regulations<\/a>\u00a0caused initial concern in the\u00a0property<\/a>\u00a0world, they demonstrate how an upfront approach to\u00a0sustainability<\/a>\u00a0can result in longer-term\u00a0cost<\/a>\u00a0savings through work such as including\u00a0insulation<\/a>\u00a0and more\u00a0energy<\/a>-efficient\u00a0mechanical and electrical<\/a>\u00a0installations<\/a>\u2026.<\/p>\n

So, PPM is at the heart of good business\u00a0practice<\/a>\u00a0as well as good\u00a0property management<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
