O&M Opportunities: Labeling
{"Image DocumentName": "O&M Opportunities: Labeling", "Image ImageDescription": "Recommend the labeling of equipment, services, piping, valves and other equipment. Labeling is an inexpensive and effective method for helping personnel properly operate and maintain equipment. Determine if any or all of the four labeling tools discussed during the O&M review have potential. Some points to consider when evaluating the tools in Section 4 (Labeling) are: 4a) If equipment is not labeled, then recommend it be labeled, and consider adding not only the identification of the equipment, but where it is fed from electrically and what zone it services. 4b) The labeling and/or color-coding of piping is an asset in understanding and verifying HVAC systems. This action, as well as labeling of equipment, is often a time-saver when working on systems and helps confirm that the proper systems are being maintained. If piping is not labeled, then recommend that it be done. 4c) If directional flow arrows do not exist, they should be added to assist in the proper recognition of fluid or gas flow. 4d) The labeling of valves is important, particularly if a valve is normally open or closed during standard operations. This can eliminate inefficiencies in systems that may be improperly mixing fluids or bypassing coils.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
