Taking off where Part 1 left off, this article discusses what happens after the master plan team (MPT) moves on-site, outlining the process of data collection and analysis as well as solution planning and implementation. It also builds off of my September Tomorrow’s Environment column, “How To Create HVAC Master Plans for a University.”
From the site, the team will finalize the asset database, including barcode/QR code designation if applicable and begin to draft the Master Plan Report. If estimating and assigning facility condition index (FCI) to each building’s HVAC infrastructure, this will also be included in the final report. In addition, should equipment replacement and/or repair be included in the estimating scope-of-work, the results of the asset repair or replacement costs will be organized into a “differed maintenance master plan” spreadsheet.
