Overview• Facility Condition Assessment (FCA)
• Traditional ASTM 2018• Rapid Visual Inspection (RVI)
• Asset Management (AM)• Life Cycle Based• ISO 55000 and PAS 55
• Performance Assessment• Exercise & Quiz Prep• Post-occupancy evaluation (POE)• Energy & Water Efficiency, O&M Cost, Occupant
Comfort, Indoor Air Quality, Envelope Evaluation

FCA – Funding vs FCI
5/18/2015 11
Good!
Bad!
Typical
FCI = BMAR or DM / CRV
FCA Process
• Preparation• Facility List, Site & Floor Plans,
Historical Data, O&M Workshop
• Field Survey using RVI• Data Entry• Analysis• Reporting• Use for project planning &
budgeting• Update every 3 to 5 years

ODs & PRs – Catch-up & Keep-up!
• Observed Deficiencies (ODs) are short term:• “Boots on Ground” observed by RVI• Over $5K to $10K• Under 5 to 6 years• Reactive
• Predicted Renewals (PRs) are long term:• Major maintenance and repair (MM&R)• Academic based on original date and system life• AKA “life cycle”• Proactive

Performance Assessment Exercise
Process:1. Break into groups of 3 to 5.2. Individuals write down 2 to 3 PAs on post-it notes.3. Discuss as a group.4. Choose top 2 or 3 in the group and report back.5. Categorize selected post-it notes on poster.
5/18/2015 28
Assignment:1. State a facility Performance Issue,
for example, high energy bills.2. List a Performance Assessment Metric,
for example, conduct infrared thermography.
