Too many systems to maintain - we need help! Additional HVAC systems and energy management controls at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) were taxing the in-house maintenance program. New buildings contained the latest technology, while older buildings contained decades-old systems and still more buildings were planned for construction. The equipment ranged from 1.5 ton split systems to packaged rooftop units, with a mix of absorbers and centrifugal chillers, and various process and lab equipment.

A comprehensive preventive maintenance program was needed for NJIT. Binsky & Snyder Service worked with NJIT’s staff to develop and implement a program of maintaining their HVAC and energy management control systems. Development of this program required Binsky Service to perform several detailed tasks:

• Identification, labeling and recording of maintenance history for each piece of equipment.
• Develop specific task- and check-lists for each piece of equipment on inventory.
• Provide recommendations for repairs or modifications.
• Generate reports to assist in budgeting units for replacement or major overhaul.
• Determine the frequency of future inspection according to seasonal or year-round operation.
• Complete minor service repairs and installation of digital controls and electro-pneumatic transducers.
  

The implementation of Binsky Service’s solution provided many short-term and long-term benefits for NJIT. The burden on in-house staff was immediately relieved. As the months and years passed after Binsky’s initial visits, the results were:

• Lower energy usage
• Ongoing cost savings
• Budgeted maintenance and repair
• Higher efficiency and less breakdowns
• Continued customer satisfaction
