ABSTRACT
The cycle of designing and implementing the job plans is the main step in an energy-centered maintenance process. In 2015, Fadi Al Shakhshir was working on developing a maintenance procedure that addresses what kind of maintenance tasks should be conducted during planned maintenance job plans that focus on the energy consumption of the equipment and the related operational parameters. Data collection is needed to define the baseline for the equipment's operational parameters. Current performance defines the actual operational condition of the equipment which will be compared to the baseline performance as recorded in the testing and commissioning phase. The measurements shall be compared with the baseline value, and the maintenance personnel shall be capable of judging if the equipment is over performing, underperforming or performing as intended. Energy Centered Maintenance provides the basis for identifying multiple low or no cost operation and maintenance practices that reduce energy consumption and improves the operational efficiency of the equipment.
