This month’s B2B will focus on the renovation of the office space (not part of B2B test) and replacement of the building’s existing baseboard radiation to new overhead radiant heat panels to be installed in the ceiling around the perimeter of the single-story 40,000-sq-ft building.
The project delivery is design-bid-build (DBB), so there will be little interaction between the owner, the outsourced O&M staff, or design team and the DBB general contractor and his subcontractors. The design engineer will specify in the contract bid documents the method of data collection of equipment in a manner that will make seamless the compilation of the preventive maintenance (PM) workorders to populate the existing CMMS system to have workorders ready for day one of owner occupancy.
