APPA recently released the 3rd edition of Operational Guidelines: Maintenance. It contains several new chapters focused on sustainability, reliability, and project turn-over. In addition, it provides updates to staffing recommendations and other essential elements of a facility maintenance organization. The update utilizes APPA’s FPI and provides some essential information for readers to leverage the FPI for both campus-wide and individual building improvements.
