Management and maintenance guideline Heating

Inleiding

From both the industry and the Government Real Estate Agency (RVB), the need arose to develop an unambiguous document to establish the basic quality of management and maintenance of heating systems. On the basis of a cooperation agreement between the RVB and The Dutch Heating Industry, this guideline for management and maintenance of heating systems was created.

This document also incorporates the experience of the RVB and from the heating system management and maintenance industry. This offers the advantage that:

• The basic qualities have been established;
• Experiences from projects are consolidated;
• The market recognizes itself in the standards;
• Administrative burdens are avoided through uniformity;
• Experiences with innovations from pilot projects can be scaled up.

The document focuses primarily on the management and maintenance of heating systems (generation, distribution and dispensing) in utility buildings. It is written primarily for office environments, but the document can also be used for buildings with other uses and similar installations.
