STRATEGIES FOR INCORPORATING ONGOING PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT INTO A PROJECT:

•• ADHERE TO THE OWNER’S PROJECT REQUIREMENTS. Prepare detailed owner’s project requirements at the beginning of the design process and conduct commissioning throughout the life-cycle of the project to ensure that the building functions as designed.

•• PROVIDE STAFF TRAINING. Knowledge and training empower facilities managers to maintain and improve the performance of buildings.

•• CONDUCT PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE. Develop a robust preventive maintenance program to keep the building in optimal condition.

•• CREATE INCENTIVES FOR OCCUPANTS AND TENANTS. Involve building occupants in energy efficiency strategies. Promote the use of energy-efficient computers and equipment, bill tenants from submeter readings to encourage energy conservation, educate occupants about shutting down computers and turning out lights before they leave, and give them regular feedback on energy performance.
