PROBLEM: With more than one-million square feet of office space to manage and aging mechanical equipment to maintain a building owner saw his operating costs soar. With multiple vendors called upon to correct problems and no preventative maintenance plan in place, the mounting issues began to impact the comfort and health of tenants.

SOLUTION: AES Building Services developed a comprehensive operating and maintenance program that provided a clear concept for the owner. The program can achieve a decrease in operating expenses (below $2.00 a square foot is achievable), while increasing tenant stability and comfort. AES Building Services’ certified technicians will self-perform the work required for the properties located on the office campus. This turn-key approach ensures continuity of services and enables efficient operations that help control costs.

AES Building Services implemented a robust CMMS program to manage work orders and provide thorough progress reports. Our technicians utilize tablet devices to input critical operational and maintenance information so that each of our activities has full transparency and all relevant information is organized and accessible. Working collaboratively with the building owner, AES Building Services has developed a budget with fixed costs for all building services that may save over $300K annually in operating costs. As a result of our overall performance, AES Building Services has been asked by the building owner to pilot a new project for building renovation and energy management.
