Low Maintenance By Design: Lessons from Central and South America
presented by: Zach Holtz, E.I. | Baskerville-Donovan, Inc.
This discussion aims to address the complexities not just with designing and constructing facilities but maintaining them through their operational life. Drawing on project experience across Central and South America, this session will highlight practical strategies for designing facilities that remain functional and sustainable in environments with limited maintenance resources. Topics will include simplifying building systems, selecting durable materials, prioritizing passive design approaches, and reducing long-term maintenance burdens. The discussion will connect these lessons directly to local installations, emphasizing how early engagement with O&M personnel and a clear understanding of installation capabilities can significantly improve facility performance and support mission readiness.
