Equipment Inventories for Owners and Facility Managers - Standards, Strategies and Best Practices (Paperback)

How to use industry standards to create complete, consistent, and accurate equipment inventories

The National Institute of Science and Technology estimates that the loss of information between the construction of buildings and their operation and maintenance costs facility owners $15.8 billion every year. This phenomenal loss is caused by inconsistent standards for capturing information about facilities and their equipment.
