The facilities team struggled to keep up with emergency repairs, creating a backlog of work orders that impacted their ability to handle other critical tasks.

Analysis and Solution

Anne Arundel County Public Schools faced mounting challenges with their aging HVAC systems, resulting in frequent breakdowns, soaring maintenance costs, and a constant stream of temperature-related complaints. The facilities team struggled to keep up with emergency repairs, creating a backlog of work orders that impacted their ability to handle other critical tasks.

EASI partnered with AACPS’s Mechanical Systems Department to develop and execute a tailored preventative maintenance program. We established regular maintenance schedules for all HVAC equipment, implemented performance monitoring tools, and provided comprehensive staff training. The program included systematic inspections, proactive repairs, and detailed performance tracking to prevent potential issues before they escalated.

Results

The preventative maintenance program delivered transformative results across the school district. HVAC equipment lifespan increased by an average of 7 years, while work orders and emergency repairs decreased significantly.
