| Electrical Systems in Federal Facilities: What You Need to Know |
By Robert Jarrell
The U.S. government comprises almost 450 federal agencies and, according to the U.S. General Services Administration, those agencies own or lease a total of 353,384 buildings (as of 2013). The electrical systems within those buildings are doing their jobs 24 hours a day, seven days a week so the agencies can do theirs. Federal building facility managers know that every system needs maintenance, but the traditions of “fix it when it breaks” and “ignore it as long as possible” are becoming less and less viable.
A solid, preventive maintenance program for Federal building electrical systems can meet new mandates, improve agency performance, and reduce both cost and risk. The opposite is also true: skimping on preventive maintenance can have significant negative consequences.
This white paper covers:
- the costs and risks associated with not properly monitoring, testing, and maintaining federal building electrical systems,
- how it can be safer, more reliable, more cost-effective, and more energy efficient to have a preventive maintenance plan
- how to develop a preventive maintenance plan and where to find help
