	The building log book is different to, but may draw upon, information in the building owner's manual, sometimes called the operation and maintenance manual (O&M manual), and the health and safety file. Unlike the building owner's manual it should be a concise document (20-50 pages for larger buildings and 5-10 pages for buildings under 200 sqm (the Carbon Trust's 'Building logbooks a users guide' page 8). It should be easy to understand, giving an overview of the way in which the building was originally intended to operate and any changes that have been made.
