Why does FAC exist?. Our Mission Statement is simple and straightforward: we want to help developers, project managers, landlords and tenants to achieve the HIGHEST LEVELS OF QUALITY and comfort at the LOWEST POSSIBLE COST However, it is far too often the case that... Poor design, installation and testing and commissioning (T+C) of electro-mechanical building services equipment leads to poor performance, discomfort and inefficiency. Plant and equipment often fail to meet required performance levels, occupants complain of unacceptable conditions, and building managers face increased maintenance costs, all because the plant and equipment serving their building have never been properly tested and commissioned. Building Management Systems are often inadequate or outdated. Inadequate testing and calibration makes their operation untrustworthy. Witnessing and verification is often undertaken by non-specialist engineers who lack the precise "know-how" to ensure adequate performance is delivered. The documentation package upon which end users must rely for operation and maintenance information is often incomplete or inadequate. Installed services often run improperly and unreliably. Fuel bills are unnecessarily inflated because the technicians and engineers engaged to commission services lack the specialist knowledge and experience to ensure optimum levels of performance and efficiency. FAC was formed in order to help elevate the standards of Building Services Installations in the Hong Kong SAR, and to help developers, managers, landlords and tenants enjoy the enhanced levels of operation, improvements in environmental conditions plus savings in energy costs which are the direct result of full and thorough professional practices. The achievement of such an objective requires a spirit of motivation, co-operation and pro-activity. We work closely with project staff at all levels to ensure an outcome of timely completion and high standards of quality.
