Engineering systems are not immediately apparent to most building users, yet if these important assetsare mis-managed, they have a greatly increased potential to incur unwelcome cost expenditure, adversely affecting business operation, and hence profitability.

Poor management and maintenance of the electrical, heating, ventilation, cooling and hot water systems can result in significant energy wastage, and unnessary expenditure. Poor management also has the potential to harm people within the building by incurring health and safety risks.

Legislation has a direct impact on the way buildings operate, and all engineering systems are subject to Legislation, prescribed Standards and Codes of Practice.

Many Building Managers operate their buildings, secure in the knowledge that they have maintenance contracts in place. If these contracts have been written such that all Legal requirements, applicable Standards and Codes of Practice have been met and a good commercial level of maintenance has been prescribed, then the only operational risk will be how the contract is executed.

Like many things, a periodic assessment of Maintenance Contracts is not only sensible, but will enable corrective action where needed. This is

particularly important with life safety systems, where non-compliance not only has the potential to put lives at risk, but may also invalidate building insurance cover.

All Contracts are different and a further advantage of using  King Energy is that shortfalls can be identified and remedies

applied. Incorrect maintenance also has the very real potential to invalidate engineering plant insurance cover in the event of unforeseen catastrophic failures.

King Energy can provide peace of mind, by actively reviewing  your existing maintenance regime and if necessary, can develop a bespoke maintenance specification for your building. King Energy can also manage or periodically audit the ongoing contract, checking for compliance with the specification. We will also ensure that you receive value for money, get the best out of the engineering systems, and we will be there to support and advise as matters arise.
