The ghosts, ghouls, zombies, cheerleaders, dinosaurs, and pumpkins are behind us and we are headed for a challenging season for some buildings (but it doesn’t have to be!). Through proper maintenance, operational preparedness, and effective emergency planning, you and your team will get your building through the snowy days ahead with the trajectory of a reindeer-powered super-sled.
The 2018 / 2019 season may be a bit colder and wetter for the Eastern Seaboard due to the presence of a mild El Nino. Is your building ready?
Our Top 6 Reminders to be prepared…
Inspect & Tune those boilers & heating loops/systems.
Check building controls for proper changeovers, temperature resets, space pressurization, and safeties (especially those for gas appliances and at-risk piping).
Evaluate, refresh, and retrain on Contingency Planning (including those for Inclement Weather and Mechanical System Failure)
Inspect for & Correct areas of possible air and water infiltration.
Assess your gas purchasing strategy.
Retrain your team on winter safety.
Have questions, need help, or just want to make snow predictions over a cup of hot chocolate? Our team is here to help assess utility rates, assemble (and implement) boiler and heating contingency planning & emergency preparedness strategies, obtain gas efficiency rebates and incentives, and tune up building systems (including building automation/controls, combustion analysis, etc), and much more ahead of the winter season.
