Step by step
7Record the starting point
Record the reading or condition you will compare against, with load, occupancy, and weather.
Write down · ReadingPick what to measure
Choose the same measurement that showed the problem. Fewer complaints or a running fan do not show the fix held.
Write down · NoteSet the date from the documents
Use the window in the maker's instruction, contract, or local rule. Book it now, not when someone remembers.
Write down · TaskMeasure again under matched conditions
A qualified person repeats the reading at or after the date, under the same operation, occupancy, and weather.
Write down · ReadingCompare and write it down
Compare with the starting reading. Record what you measured, not how the job felt.
Write down · NoteKeep temporary fixes on the clock
A temporary measure stays on an open recheck until the repair is done. Use a shorter recheck if repairs are waiting.
Write down · TaskReopen if it did not hold
If the result is worse, or the date has no result, keep the job open. Bring in help after repeated tries.
Write down · Decision
A finished run leaves the starting reading, the booked date, the matched measurement, and the decision to close or reopen.
