Transforming the Practices of Building Operation and Maintenance Professionals: A Washington State Pilot Program

Abstract

This paper describes the program and its components, and provides interim results for the re-tuning component. Over 8 million square feet of building space is directly involved in the re-tuning effort and much more should be impacted following completion of the project. The paper also characterizes the participating organizations and buildings and provides information on the re-tuning process, information on the smart monitoring and diagnostic systems (SMDS), descriptions of the methodologies used to measure impacts and impressions of participants, and a discussion of barriers encountered in implementation.
