BSRIA Building Manuals and Building User Guides
BSRIA Building Manuals and Building User Guides is to assist the occupants in making best use of the design features, services and systems of the building to ensure a safe and healthy work environment, while contributing to the effective and efficient operation and management of the building. It provides the end users or occupants of the building with a simple, quick and easy guide to the everyday functions of the building.
Building Manual intended to be an operator’s guide to the building. It is a guide to how the building works and provides all the useful information that is usually found and often buried in the building’s O&M manuals. It provides a single document that can capture all future building changes, energy use and maintenance records.

The Building Manual and Building User Guide should be developed at the same time as the O&M manuals, identifying the services being
installed and documenting any changes that made to design concepts during the construction process.
The Building Manual is not intended to replicate information in the O&M manuals, or just to provide a link to the appropriate document. It intended to contain the salient points that an operator needs to operate their building effectively and as the designer intended.
Any building operational issues or inspections included through an annual summary. For example, Legionella control and management procedures do not need to be defined in the Building Manual, only a summary of the annual inspection findings.
