Many campuses rely on facility condition assessments to understand infrastructure risks, communicate needs, and generate additional funding for deferred maintenance, but often the FCA falls short of developing an execution strategy of feasible projects to draw down on deferred maintenance. In this case study, hear how University of Miami Health took the next step by applying a refurbishment model to maximize their investment output and address more assets within their portfolio to stabilize MEP systems. Through engineered assessments, Miami Health was able to reprioritize their deferred maintenance list and generate scopes of work that were based on operating performance rather than age of asset. In one of their premier buildings, what started as a $13M line item in their deferred maintenance list for HVAC distribution turned into an AHU refurbishment plan at a fraction of the cost and time.
1. Utilize engineering assessments to generate projects from your deferred maintenance needs list
2. Prioritize your project list based on operating condition rather than age of assets
3. Implement a refurbishment strategy to execute projects with less money, time & minimal impact to operations
4. Stabilize the performance of critical assets
