Certified Indoor Environmental (CIE) Practice Exam

Maintenance tasks and how often they should be done are documented in the Operations and Maintenance Manual. This manual serves as the practical guide for facility staff, detailing routine inspections, maintenance frequencies, procedures, and responsibilities for building systems, including drain pans. Documenting the inspection cadence there ensures everyone follows a consistent preventive maintenance program, helps prevent water damage and mold, and keeps records in one place.

The other documents aren’t the right repository for this kind of detail. An Employee Handbook covers HR policies, not system maintenance schedules. Construction Drawings show design and layout information but not ongoing maintenance frequencies. A Marketing Plan focuses on business strategy rather than facility upkeep.
