Building Mechanical Systems Condition Audit

New or used buildings have items which play an essential part in the quality of the internal environment created by the building. They support the functionality of the building as a whole. It is vital that all building heating, ventilation and air conditioning, and plumbing systems have the required capacities to meet user needs (or can be readily modified to do so), and that they are able to cope with likely changes of user requirements in the future. Inadequate capacity and inability of those services may result significantly in increased operating costs. An assessment of the current condition of equipment and the likely future needs is essential to manage operating costs.

Energy Management and Program Development

Services related to the building mechanical systems incur running and maintenance costs, which together constitute the major component of the annual operating costs of a building. The operation of these systems needs to be diagnosed to assess the present energy use and costs of the building, and to identify energy saving improvements.
