Study Notes

Review Process

FM Handbooks and policies must be reviewed by local program managers and unit leadership to ensure consistency in procedures.
This review process provides support for the section that created the policy or procedure.

Energy Conservation and Usage

AFMAN 32-1061 mandates FMs support compliance with energy policy directives.
FMPMs should disseminate energy conservation tips, utility outage notices, and updates to installation FMs, with help from the Installation Energy Manager.
Consider adding a calendar in the repository for easy access to outages and energy-saving tips.

Facility Visits

Establishing facility visit teams (1219 or SMART teams) helps maintain AF facilities.
These teams can identify potential issues before they escalate, reduce emergency calls, and improve customer feedback.
It is advisable to focus visits on high-maintenance facilities such as dormitories if full installation visits are not feasible.

Environmental Considerations

FMs serve as focal points for environmental awareness and protection within facilities.
Key hazards include Asbestos Containing Material (ACM), Radon, Lead-Based Paint (LBP), and mold.
Important materials in the FM continuity book include: FM Appointment Letter, training slides, service request logs, safety inspections, and known hazards.

Real Property Management

FMs act as points of contact for real property issues and must ensure facilities are used for their designated purposes.
Facilities are categorized by the Real Property Categorization System (RPCS) using 6-digit Category Codes (CATCODES).
Accurate CATCODES are essential for facility funding, coding compliance, and mission relevance.

Energy Conservation Awareness

FMs should promote energy conservation practices within their facilities, leveraging knowledge of unique situations to suggest improvements.
Collaboration with the installation Energy Manager is crucial for effective energy management.

Reserved Parking

FMs manage reserved parking regulations, adhering to Army Regulation (AR) 190-5, UFC 3-120-01, and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Reserved parking is minimized for operational security, using generic names or office symbols instead of individual titles.

Emergency Management

FMs must be well-versed in Emergency Management (EM) procedures per AFI 10-2501.
Collaboration with EM representatives is necessary to create Emergency Action Plans (EAPs) and implement shelter-in-place protocols.

Generator Maintenance

Although CE performs generator maintenance, FMs can arrange training for facility occupants regarding generator responsibilities.
FMs might have additional duties related to generators and hazardous waste management.

CE Services

FMs serve as the central contact point for CE service requests, completing the entire request process from validation to tracking.
Regular service request notifications may be displayed at facility entrances, emphasizing the FM's essential role.

Facility Inspections

FMs are required to conduct monthly walkthrough inspections to identify repair needs and safety concerns.
Inspections focus on unapproved work, maintenance abuses, and energy efficiency improvements, excluding unsafe areas like roofs and confined spaces.
Unapproved work must be reported as Facility Abuse through a Report of Survey (RoS) per DoD guidelines.
