   1. Quick reference (left hand side) for the equipment label
   2. Back side has the minimum picture requirements (you can take more – it’s recommended)

   4. Using the magnet, stick it to the chiller, boiler, electrical panel, or time clock, etc.…
   5. Write the Building ID, and equipment label,  take a picture of the equipment with the sheet included in the photos.

All pictures shall be clear and text shall be legible.

All pictures shall include the equipment label and Building ID

Conditional Pictures – these are pictures that words cannot describe, these are pictures that help describe the current condition of the property or equipment.

Do ones best to keep pictures grouped (Thermostats, Rooftop Equipment, Control Panels, Lighting, etc.). It is understood that this will not always be possible, however we ask for good faith efforts, thank you, and remember, a picture can save a costly return trip back.

Naming Standards for Labels:

Use the following tagging schema when the equipment is not labeled replacing the ** with the sequence number i.e. 01, 02, 03, 10, 20, 50, up to 99.
