INTRODUCTION
Many premises and facilities managers, without an engineering or technical background, are being given the added responsibility of the operation and maintenance of building engineering services. Often, these managers are unclear what building services are, or lack of full understanding of how they functions.
This intensive 5-days course is designed to explain in a simple straightforward manner what building services are, why they are necessary and who they operate.
The course format is informal and interactive to provide delegates with an opportunity to ask questions about their particular service problems.
The programme is intended to give a broad interview of building services, look at some of the problems and examine possible solutions. no prior knowledge of building services is assumed.
