Equipment Inventories for Owners and Facility Managers

Synopsis

How to use industry standards to create complete, consistent, and accurate equipment inventoriesThe National Institute of Science and Technology estimates that the loss of information between the construction of buildings and their operation and maintenance costs facility owners $15.8 billion every year.
