Fundamentals of Building Operation, Maintenance, and Management addresses current issues related to the operation, maintenance, and management of buildings. Ten chapters comprise the course, and exercises at the end of each chapter help readers assess their understanding of the material and apply what they learn to real-world situations. Heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems and equipment are the primary focus, as they account for a majority of operation and maintenance efforts. However, plumbing, electrical, and life safety systems, as well as other building systems are also presented. Additional topics include economics, computerized maintenance management systems, risk assessment, building start-up, commissioning, greening facilities, health, and safety. Skill Development Exercises at the end of each chapter help readers assess their understanding of the material and apply what they learn to real-world situations. Answers to to these exercises can be submitted online to earn PDH, CEU, or LU credits.

This dual-unit (I-P/SI) course provides an indispensable introduction to these topics and an invaluable instructional resource for both experienced building professionals and individuals entering into the field.
