• NYS Building Conditions Survey (BCS)
Due every five years, this detailed survey of each existing school building becomes a comprehensive planning tool for districts and the state with the goal of maintaining safe and healthy school environments. The next survey must be completed by November 15, 2010 – be sure your upcoming budget includes an accurate estimate to conduct it.

• Five Year Capital Facilities Plan
This plan is intended to help districts actively manage capital needs and must be updated annually. In addition to needs uncovered in the BCS, this written narrative identifies any new school facilities, building conditions and renovations or site acquisitions that are necessary. We’ll satisfy SED requirements and provide a working document that can guide annual initiatives and your next capital project. Deliverables include existing systems and infrastructure analysis, complete space and site evaluations, and concept design solutions to map a long-term strategy for success. CSArch is expert at establishing priorities through the lens of a comprehensive plan.

• NY-CHPS Analysis with Energy Audit
Is your district in compliance with NY-CHPS guidelines? MAP your way to savings with a thorough review of existing conditions and past energy use. We’ll identify specific measures to save energy and improve your operations, and then calculate the costs to implement them and your anticipated payback period. Receive up to a 50% rebate on fees through the NYSERDA FlexTech Program.

• Facilities Document Management
Maintaining the building plans your district has accumulated over the years can be challenging. CSarch will catalog and reproduce existing hard copy drawings into electronic format for permanent and easy archival. In addition, we can produce current existing conditions CAD plans to serve as base drawings for future projects.

• Full Building Modeling
The future of facilities planning is in full-scale modeling. Take advantage of this opportunity to create 3-D architectural energy models in Revit™ software, and make building information and energy planning efforts seamless.
