Issue Themes:

Tomorrow's Energy:

Energy efficiency has always been top of mind for facility managers, but demands to meet decarbonization and net‐zero goals have accelerated operational efforts. Energy efficiency is crucial for facility managers for several reasons: cost savings, environmental responsibility, improved indoor comfort and regulatory compliance just name a few.

In addition, increases in extreme weather events have emphasized the importance of grid reliability during emergencies. We're sharing the stories of leading facility managers about how they are making changes at their facilities to incorporate renewable energy, meet ambitious energy goals, and also ensure backup power.

Topics include:

  • Using solar to power an electric vehicle fleet in Madison, Wisconsin
  • How facilities are working towards meeting their net zero energy goals
  • Grid resilience at Valley Children's Healthcare in Central California
  • How schools become part of the solar grid

In addition, we'll talk with leading voices about where the industry is heading in the future. This is the perfect opportunity for longstanding suppliers to celebrate their history and showcase their insight regarding today's challenges and tomorrow's trends.

Smart Technology:

From Internet of Things to Artificial Intelligence, buildings and their operating systems are getting smarter. Whether its HVAC, restroom fixtures or even pest control, nearly every aspect of the facility can now collect data. Facility managers can analyze this information to streamline operations and identify potential problems. Potential topics may include BAS, controls, IoT, AI technology, BACNet, analytical software, smart restrooms, and more.

Smart technology, also known as building automation or the Internet of Things (IoT), is increasingly important to facilities managers for a variety of reasons: predictive maintenance, improved efficiency and of course, energy savings. Smart Technology is no longer the future, it's the here and now and of high interest to every facilities professional.
