Table 1. Points for Maintenance Level Maintenance Level Points Maintenance level Audit score level is ≤ 2.5 1 (between managed maintenance and comprehensive maintenance) Audit score level is ≤ 1.5 2 (between comprehensive maintenance and exemplary facility) Audit methodology The audit considers the entire facility, including building materials, lighting, equipment, maintenance, customer service, and facility upkeep and care. Use five levels for scoring (e.g., limited management, critical response, managed maintenance, comprehensive maintenance, and exemplary facility). AND/OR
