During the early design stages of a construction project, there are testing methods that allow certain mechanical and electrical systems to be assessed such as age, capacity, condition, redundancy and other issues in order to understand more about that systems' dynamic capabilities. This session enables attendees to:
•Create a report card that distills down technical data into a format that non-technical decision makers can understand.
•Discuss a plan for improvement that prioritizes the recommended documentation efforts, specific analyses and upgrade projects; includes estimates of costs and has a rolling five year timeframe defined.
•Execute specific testing methods to ascertain details about system performance at the outset of an upgrade project and calculate costs incurred to conduct pre-testing; understand the implications of not conducting the pre-testing.
