A BMP, or Building Maintenance Plan, is a building-specific ventilation equipment operator's manual. BMPs are designed to assist building service managers and plant equipment operators in maintaining the ventilation equipment for their facilities. Each BMP provides detailed information and recommended preventive maintenance routines for supply ventilation units, exhaust ventilation units, air stations, chillers, and boilers. Service record forms (for recording maintenance and repair activities), recommended building cleaning procedures, and relevant information related to IAQ and occupational safety are also provided. School staff are expected to use the BMP to properly maintain their facility's ventilation equipment.
Information provided for each ventilation unit includes: the unit's location and equipment type, area(s) served by the unit, identifying information (brand, model, serial number), mechanical and electrical details (air filter types and sizes, fan belt sizes, voltage, circuit breaker and breaker panel locations, starter switch locations), and the recommended preventive maintenance routine for the unit.
IAQ Team personnel obtain the information for each BMP during preventive maintenance site visits. At the conclusion of each visit, the BMP is presented to the building service manager or plant equipment operator for his/her use.
