Follow on Google News | Innovative Engineering Advises Building Owners on Winter PreparednessIEI USA advises the top 8 things building owners and managers should do to prepare for winter.
By: Innovative Engineering, Inc. Winter can be a challenging season for property owners and building managers. Inclement weather can strike without notice, and if you're not prepared, your building and occupants could suffer costly damage. As the seasons change and temperatures drop, make sure you plan adequately and take these essential steps for winter preparedness: 1) Emergency Preparedness: a. All actual tenants should be notified before winter threats, such as low temperatures, of steps to be taken to minimize losses to them and other tenants. This may include ensuring unheated spaces are either insulated and heated and/or the affected plumbing lines either drained or heated with heat tape and fire sprinkler lines heated with heaters or heat tape. Also, ensure heaters and heat tape are actually functioning correctly. b. On-Call Property Manager(s) should be identified and be available 24/7, including holidays. c. On-Call Service Provider(s) should be identified and available 24/7, including holidays. Service providers should be familiar with where all utility shut-offs are located. d. A current list of emergency contacts with backups for owners, managers, tenants, utilities, and on-call personnel should be made available and distributed to all tenants and owners. e. Keys for each tenant space should be kept by the property owner or manager and be available to the On-call Property Manager and service providers.
