本文提出了一种将操作和维护（O&M）最佳实践考虑融入关键设施工程和设计的整体方法。本文讨论了在设计阶段以及整个施工和调试过程中，关键设施运维的各个方面，以支持设施整个寿命周期内的连续运行。本文论述了关键基础设施的物理方面，以及它与高效运维的关系，人员配置组织和构成要求应如何影响设计策略，以及各种运维流程、工具，以及在设计和建造设施的同时开发运维流程和程序的潜在协同作用。 引用:ASHRAE会议论文，蒙特利尔，QC

This paper presents a holistic approach for embedding operations and maintenance (O&M) best practices considerations into the engineering and design of critical facilities. The paper discusses including various aspects of critical facility O&M within the design phase and throughout construction and commissioning to support continuous operations throughout the life of the facility. The paper addresses the physical aspects of the critical infrastructure and how it relates to efficient O&M, how staffing organization and makeup requirements should influence design strategies, and various O&M processes, tools, and potential synergies in developing O&M processes and procedures concurrently with designing and constructing the facility.
