Effective Facility Operations and Maintenance

Effective Facility Operations and Maintenance

PSFEI is excited to offer the Effective Facility Operations and Maintenance (EFOM) course this fall! While no prerequisites are required for any of our courses, EFOM serves as the natural progression in your facilities knowledge journey, especially if you have already completed our Facility Infrastructure Fundamentals Training (FIFT) course. While FIFT provides an overview of building systems and their complex interactions, EFOM takes a deeper dive into the practicalities of overseeing and sustaining these systems to ensure optimal and safe facility operations. Course instructors will cover best maintenance practices for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and elevator systems, providing guidance through maintenance requirements of specific pieces of equipment within the facility. This course will also cover operations and maintenance (O&M) best practices for your building automation system (BAS) and building envelope, along with keys for establishing a successful emergency management program.

The goal of this course is to teach concepts in a way that will enable participants to confidently oversee the day-to-day maintenance of their facilities and communicate effectively with the contractors and technicians who keep those systems running.

Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and a certificate of completion will be awarded for 100% attendance and participation. This course will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Lunch will be provided on all three days.
