The systems that keep a large building comfortable are invisible until they fail. A burst pipe or a failed boiler isn't just an inconvenience; it can be a catastrophic financial loss. In facility management, the only thing more important than fixing a problem is preventing it through consistent, daily data collection.
The Philosophy: Infrastructure Vigilance
The HHdailychecks log is built for the facility manager who understands that "normal" is a precise range, not a feeling. It replaces the loose-leaf notebook on a clipboard in the boiler room. By capturing numerical data for boilerPressure and boilertemp every day, you establish a baseline that allows you to spot a failing component weeks before it actually breaks.
The Blueprint: Facility Monitoring
The structure is divided into three critical areas of building health.
- Zone 1: Thermal Infrastructure: This is the core. It tracks the temperatures and pressures of the boiler and hotwater tank. The booleans for boilerpumps and furnaces ensure that every critical piece of machinery is physically verified as active.
- Zone 2: Specialized HVAC: For complex facilities, the log provides specific verification for the NW, SW, and SE furnaces. This granularity is essential in larger buildings where a failure in one wing might go unnoticed for days.
- Zone 3: Kitchen & Safety: In commercial or multi-unit settings, monitoring the Coolertemp, Freezer temp, and FirePressure is a matter of both food safety and life safety.
Usage Scenarios: The Insurance Audit
Imagine an insurance inspector visits your facility. They ask for proof of due diligence in fire safety. Instead of hunting for paper logs, you open Memento and show them a continuous, dated record of FirePressure checks. You can demonstrate that the pressure was within the manufacturer's range for 365 consecutive days. Your liability is reduced, and your professionalism is undeniable.
Power Feature: Charts for Trend Analysis
By using Memento’s built-in charting feature on the boilertemp field, you can see a visual graph of your building's thermal performance over time. If you notice a slow, steady climb in temperature despite no change in settings, you have data-backed proof that a sensor is failing or a heat exchanger is fouled, allowing you to schedule maintenance before it becomes an emergency.
