Existing critical building systems are approaching or have exceeded their expected useful life. In some cases, replacement parts are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain, resulting in higher maintenance costs and reduced reliability. Replacing these systems now improve operational efficiency and help address facility needs before major failures occur.
