A guide for designers, maintainers, building owners and operators, and facilities managers. This guidance is intended for the benefit of all those involved in the operation and maintenance of engineering services. It is an update of the original version of this document which was published in 2000 as Guide to ownership, operation and maintenance of building services. Principal areas of revision relate to legislation that has occurred since the first edition, the impact of climate change and subsequent need to address energy use and building performance. A list of definitions has been included as section 1.2. Chapter 6 has been rewritten, based on CIBSE Guide F: Energy efficiency in buildings. Chapter 7 has been expanded to include information from CIBSE Knowledge Series KS4: Understanding controls and CIBSE Guide H: Building control systems. Chapter 10 has been developed further on O&M manuals. A more detailed consideration of risk assessment and risk management has been provided in chapter 11. Chapter 12 now contains a more comprehensive list of indicative maintenance and utilities costs. Additional information and revisions to the table of plant life expectancies in chapter 13 make it more comprehensive and useable. Chapter 16 covers the wide range of legislation applicable to building operation. The intention has been to identify current good practice and address topics of particular interest and relevance to those involved at all levels in engineering services maintenance. This includes designers, manufacturers, installers, maintainers, building owners, occupiers and operators, professional advisers and specialist providers. It is not expected that the reader will read the publication from cover to cover; rather that it will be used for reference and guidance as needs arise. Maintenance of engineering services within the UK represents an annual business value conservatively estimated at some £7 billion. Maintenance is not the most glamorous aspect of engineering and much of it is focused on preventing failure rather than creating something tangible. It is, however, becoming more analytical and numerically based, including dealing with failure probabilities, management of resources, determining redundancy within systems and minimising risk. This document is intended to bring maintenance into a sharper focus by helping building and property operators become more aware of their responsibilities and duties. It will also help services designers to appreciate their role in providing installations that are safe, economic to maintain and operate, and capable of giving satisfactory perform¬ance over their full lifespan.
