O and M data is extremely important. We<br />

have to understand how people take care <strong>of</strong> these<br />

buildings. We talked about lead buildings. It's<br />

care <strong>of</strong> it, then you had better not buy a puppy<br />

because day one, you're going to find out what a<br />

pain having that puppy is. It's no longer cute. It<br />

has to go.<br />

So buildings are the same thing. You're<br />

undertaking owning a building. You're undertaking<br />

operating a building. And what is that building<br />

it. We want to hear the user's impact on the<br />

building. Next slide.<br />

that?<br />
