contaminants, control the spread of water) 4) Clean & Dry
Affected Areas 5) Complete the Restoration & Repairs (remove
excess water, enhance evaporation, remove water vapor through
dehumidification and ventilation & control temperature)


Describe at least 3 characteristics of size & complexity of mechanical and HVAX systems // building
commercial drying projects that make it electrical systems vary in complexity, amount of voltage and
different from typical residential ones training required to qualify for working on this equipment // energy
management systems // challenges related to public access and
security are typical // multiple stake holders on a. commercial
project // commercial construction practices, materials and codes
are complex and varied




How does the S500 describe the following commercial = buildings or facilities where the use is primarily for

How does the S500 describe the following industrial = buildings or facilities where the use is primarily for
type of building - industrial? manufacturing, foundry or distribution

,What other details are there about the power may be single phase or 3 phase, but is usually lighter than
following type of building - commercial? any of the other categories // the use of the building will dictate
the build-out density, materials and HVAC systems used


What other details are there about the (will have more than sufficient power and with 3 phase power
following type of building - industrial? generally available // the problem in these buildings are the safety
regulations, in some, it may take a full day or more to be trained
and approved to enter the facility // in some access, access is
usually very tightly controlled and require escorts // typical of
many buildings in process or manufacturing facilities are raised-
floor environments to allow changes in cabling, power distribution
and process control lines)


How does the S500 describe the following institutional = "buildings or facilities where the use is primarily for
type of building - institutional? public facilities such as schools, hospitals, municipal buildings,
sports complexes, airports, libraries or other governmental
facilities"


What other details are there about the can have issues of power availability, public access, security, or
following type of building - institutional? various layers of authority and organizational hierarchy // if

buildings // they are often on national or local historical registries
and pose unique challenges


What other details are there about the outdated or inadequate power // funding issues // required
following type of building - historical buildings? approval by 3rd party organizations (e.g. historical registries) or
specialized experts (preservationists)




What is a critical step during the initial determin the potential for injury to employees or occupants
inspection...?



How can the size and complexity of fire sprinklers // computer server rooms and networks // multiple
mechanical HVAC systems vary...? HVAC zones // understanding the HVAC zones will help reduce
the potential for cross-contimination and help maintain drying
environment


What are the electrical designations? Volts/phase/hertz




What is an EMS? EMS = Energy Management System (aka building management
systems) // EMS cycle runtime of various systems to save energy
and may be managed off site / any changes would be
coordinated with building engineer // E systems can make
maintaining your drying environment more difficult, e.g. energy
recovery units, economizers)

, Describe some challenges related to public onsite security is handled by 3rd party companies // security
access and security...? clearances and escorts are often required in secure facilities //
this can lengthen time to mobilize equipment and personnel


How do multiple stakeholders complicate lots more complexity with project management, communication,
projects? administration // daily meetings with the stakeholders are often
scheduled // everyone has their own agenda and think their area
of need is the most critical


how are the commercial construction, old & new construction practices can be encountered in the same

to projects? construction // there can be a construction area that you do not
understand can be the one that delays the entire project


What are the 5 Steps a restorer will follow 1. Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment 2. Preliminary
during the initial visit? Determination water category 3. Establish dry standard(s) 4.
Determine drying goal(s) 5. Identify need for specialized experts


What do Categories of water Refer to? the range of contimination of Water (Cat 1 = sanitary water
source, does not pose substantial risk, e.g. water supply lines,
falling rainwater // Cat 2 = significant contamination and has the
potential to cause discomfort or sickness, e.g. overflows from
washing machines, broken aquariums // Cat 3 = grossly
contaminated... can cause significant adverse reactions (sewage
/ water back flows)
