This section should include a brief overview of the OM&M Plan specific for the installed PVMS that is contained within a supplemental addendum and a summary table. The OM&M Plan must be based upon the installed equipment, specified equipment maintenance or calibration periods, required performance monitoring, and expected component life.
The supplemental addendum (see attached) should contain all the supporting information necessary for the actual OM&M Manual, and it should be formatted as a stand-a-lone submittal that contains the following information:
- General Description of the System
- Emergency contact and installer information
- Equipment and supplies necessary to perform the OM&M inspections and monitoring
- Installed alarms and appropriate responses for the alarms (if necessary)
- Inspection form(s)
- Survey and inspection of the structure where the PVMS is installed for changes or modifications in use, operation, configuration, or size
- Verification and calibration of the operation of any installed telemetry, monitoring equipment, or alarms (if necessary)
- A description of the visual inspection of system components including visible labels, sealants, hangers, other critical components
- Established operating performance specifications
- A description of what the inspector is looking for to evaluate whether repair is necessary
- Monitoring frequency and location
- The collection and the recording of performance measurements
- Installed equipment maintenance schedule
- Performance metrics that must be met
- An assessment of the inspections that were completed.
- Where the inspection notes and documentation are stored
- Verification of compliance with any permits
- Building Owner/Tenant Engagement Notification Forms and Documentation
Depending on the complexity of the system and the need for monitoring or documenting different processes, unique inspection forms are recommended to be included. The documentation necessary to maintain the PVMS is identified in the OM&M Manual.
Key supporting information
- Supplemental addendum (see attached)
- Table(s) – identifying the final performance specifications, the monitoring locations, required inspection locations, and required routine maintenance
