Applying Effective Problem-Solving Methodology to Roof System Evaluations
A recent study revealed that many school administrators are having trouble identifying projects that can leverage unused stimulus funds. The most impactful project, with benefits for energy efficiency and indoor air quality, may be right above your head. This white paper gives a powerful model called OIA (short for Observation, Interpretation, and Application), to quickly assess repair, restoration, or replacement opportunities for a school’s roof.
When used skillfully, this three-step, problem-solving methodology serves as both an invaluable investigative tool and an effective framework to search for systematic solutions. As potential solutions are identified and well-documented within the framework, the ability for a school district to communicate problems needing to be addressed immediately, as well as opportunities for proactive projects that extend the long-term life of the building, increases, potentially accelerating the project approval process.
