Over time, many if not all employees eventually become comfortable in their work environment. I don’t think this can be helped, be-cause with routine comes contentment.
Back around 2002, I came up with this idea based on a perceived need to have commissioning software available for me to write functional performance test (FPT) documents.
Over my 50 years in the HVAC industry (OMG … 50 years!) I made it a point to change jobs approximately every seven years to continue to improve my knowledge of the HVAC industry.
With this year coming to an end and a new business year starting next month, this is a good time for a first-time manager to stop and take one last look at her first year business plan and assess how things went relative to the company’s goals; the employees within the group’s goals; and the group’s sales, revenue, and operating budget.
Continuing on with Part 2 of the discussion on troubleshooting problematic HVAC systems and buildings, I want to get a little more detailed with how to grasp the big picture when starting out with problem solving an installation.
