| Maintenance Area | 2019 Actual Cost | Projected Year of Major Maintenance | Projected Cost | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elevator Maintenance | $35,381 | 2022 | $50,000 | Allocate additional funds in the reserve for 2022. |

Usage Pattern Analysis
StrataWise also analyzed usage patterns to predict potential future failures and optimize maintenance schedules:
- HVAC System: Historical data shows increased maintenance requests during winter months. Predictive analysis suggests scheduling preventive inspections and minor repairs in the fall to reduce emergency repair costs. This approach could save the corporation approximately $10,000 annually.
- Elevator Systems: The frequency of elevator maintenance requests has increased slightly over the past three years. StrataWise recommends a comprehensive inspection in 2022, with a budget increase of $50,000 to cover anticipated repairs.
AI-Powered Recommendations
Based on the AI-driven analysis provided by StrataWise, the following recommendations are proposed:
1. Adjust Budget Allocations:
Increase allocations in the Operating Fund to cover anticipated rises in utility and maintenance costs, as indicated by the projected data.
2. Increase Capital Reserve Fund Levies:
A 5% increase in the levy amount for the Capital Replacement Reserve Fund is recommended to maintain an adequate balance for future large-scale repairs.
3. Refinance Existing Loans:
Refinance the current long-term debt associated with elevator renovations. This action is projected to save $10,000 annually in interest payments, which can be redirected to maintenance or other needs.
4. Implement Predictive Maintenance Protocols:
Establish a routine predictive maintenance schedule based on identified trends, particularly for high-use systems like elevators and HVAC. This proactive approach could lead to substantial cost savings and reduced downtime.
