About this file

This is a technical guidance document consisting of 2025 Preventive Maintenance (PM) Guide Cards for building systems and equipment operations. The document provides detailed maintenance standards and procedures for a comprehensive range of facility systems including architectural elements, fire life safety systems, HVAC equipment, electrical systems, cleaning equipment, building controls, domestic water systems, and specialized infrastructure. Each standard card specifies inspection checkpoints, required tools, special instructions, and maintenance frequencies (monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual) for equipment such as boilers, chillers, air handlers, motors, pumps, valves, dampers, fire suppression systems, emergency generators, and various control systems. The guidance emphasizes compliance with manufacturer instructions, lock-out/tag-out procedures, respiratory protection where applicable, and adherence to environmental regulations including EPA requirements for refrigerant handling and asbestos management.

The document serves as operational guidance for facilities management contractors and emphasizes safety compliance with OSHA regulations, NFPA standards for fire protection systems, and ASME codes for pressure vessels and boilers. Key themes throughout include proper documentation of maintenance activities in computerized maintenance management systems (NCMMS), calibration and testing protocols for control systems and sensors, energy efficiency optimization, and predictive maintenance approaches using diagnostic tools and condition monitoring. The guide cards cover specialized maintenance areas such as nondestructive testing for chillers, vibration analysis, thermal imaging for electrical systems, and functional testing of building automation systems, with particular attention to critical systems serving government facilities requiring high reliability and safety standards.

This standard applies to Shingle roofing systems typically consisting of a waterproof membrane (bituminous) over a deck, an outer protective coating of shingles, and metal flashing or coping at drip edges and valleys.

Special Instructions

1. In addition to the procedure(s) outlined in this standard, the equipment manufacturer's recommended maintenance procedure(s) and/or instruction(s) shall be strictly adhered to.

2. Review manufacturer's or installer's instructions (if available) and check whether roof is under warranty. If under warranty, refer all noted damage to the facility manager or issuer of the warranty so that repairs may be performed without voiding the warranty.

3. Avoid walking or standing near the roof edge unless there is a safe railing, guard or parapet. Use fall prevention equipment, after receiving training, as needed to perform roof work safely.

4. Perform inspections twice annually in the spring and fall when the roof is driest and most accessible.

4. Check for wrinkles, buckles, and sponginess.

5. Check all flashing for wind damage, missing caulking, curling, and exposed edges. Check flashing fasteners for looseness and deterioration. Check any fibrous material that might be asbestos for deterioration. If asbestos containing materials are present, check the building's asbestos management plan as described in the Environmental Management portion of the Safety and Environmental Management Program. Manage asbestos in accordance with the asbestos management plan.

6. Check the condition of any joints, roof to wall joint in particular. Check the termination of roofing expansion joints at parapet walls. Be sure that water drains off the top of the coping and that it is well attached.

7. Check coping for deterioration, especially rusting, punctures, open seams and spalling or cracking in masonry coping.

8. Check that any installed equipment such as antennas, HVAC equipment and flagpoles are properly installed according to building codes, including necessary I-beam supports for heavy A/C equipment and are flashed and secured to the building.

9. Cleanout and refill pitch pockets (penetration pockets) where filler is cracked or shrinking.

10. Remove all trash, debris or unsecured material from roof and dispose of properly.
