A major trend in the facility management industry is using eco-friendly, “green” practices when maintaining buildings. This move follows on the heels of the national and worldwide motivation to reduce the carbon footprint. 

In today’s blog, Omnia360 explains how integrated facility solutions can work to promote eco-friendly buildings. 

What does Sustainable Facility Management (SFM) Mean? 

It’s a process that involves implementing operational or structural changes that incorporate efficiency, comfort, safety, and productivity to ensure more environmentally friendly practices at a facility. 

​​

Implementing sustainable facility management involves taking action on multiple fronts: 

• Regular maintenance to your building’s infrastructure (HVAC or Plumbing)
• Utilizing eco-friendly products, tools, and materials at work 
• Promoting energy-efficient practices and behaviors, like recycling

Using energy-efficient equipment, alongside environmentally-friendly maintenance practices, is part of what makes a facility eco-friendly and promotes a lower carbon footprint. 

Regular maintenance, especially from cross-trained industry professionals like those at Omnia360, helps to mitigate against wasteful energy usage, whether it’s an ineffective plumbing or HVAC system that’s causing it.  

Monitor Eco-Friendly Improvements and Goals

What gets measured and tracked, gets improved. Setting up a plan to monitor performance is done in order to ensure your facility is minimizing its carbon footprint, while still operating productively. 

Here’s an example. You might account for all the paper printing at your office, then decide on which documents can be shifted into strictly digital assets, avoiding unnecessary paper printing. 

Utilize Eco-Friendly Cleaning Solutions

If your office needs cleaning, you can choose to have “green” cleaning products be used to get the job done. Many industrial cleaning products contain hazardous chemicals that, if not disposed of properly, end up causing environmental harm. 

Sustainability Analytics 

A facility management team can identify and track progress on key metrics that pertain to the eco-friendly performance of your facility. What gets measured and tracked, gets improved upon. This includes your building’s carbon footprint. 

Leverage the Help of a Management System

A CMMS (Computer Maintenance Management System) can improve internal operations and lend to developing a more sustainable method of updating and maintaining your building. You can read our related article about the top facility management software products.

Preventative Maintenance 

Omnia360 offers a trained staff of handymen and trade professionals who provide 24/7 maintenance to ensure your facility is running optimally and is the most eco-friendly possible. 

Update Infrastructure 

Let’s say your HVAC system is outdated and is underperforming, this costs your company more money on monthly energy bills. As a green solution, you might decide to install cool or green roofing, or even solar energy panels, if your budget allows for it. 

Hiring a professional all-in-one third-party contractor like Omnia360 allows you to get up-to-date infrastructure installed quickly and easily. 

Lighting systems

Use natural light as often as possible. Opening the windows more creates more natural light around the office, as well as sparingly using lights in adjacent, low-occupation rooms in your building. Installing LED lights can help save both on your monthly bill and lower your energy consumption. 

Heating and Cooling Systems

Your building’s HVAC is an important part of what makes it an eco-friendly facility. Having the right equipment and the right repairs being completed by a skilled facility management company will not only save you money but offer you a more eco-friendly building. 

Efficient Use of Office Space 

Restructuring how your office workspaces are laid out to reduce space leads to less energy consumption. This is even more so the case today, with the advent of people working remotely from coffee shops or homes rather than office cubicles. 

Efficient Water Irrigation Systems 

Making good use of your building’s water management is also important when attempting to be eco-friendly. Water-efficient lawn care for your business can often mean growing vegetation that is native to your local climate. Even creating indoor spaces for moisture-absorbing plants can aid in promoting fresh, breathable air and lower humidity levels for employees and customers to enjoy.

Data informs all decisions in the modern world, and why wouldn’t it? Currently, there are thousands of analytics companies that specialize in providing informational data to consumers and businesses for digital facility solutions. 

This is a significant plus in the facility management world because it mitigates the need to collect this information from specific units. It somewhat streamlines the process using: Big Data Analytics, Machine Learning/AI, and the Internet of Things. 

These terms can be complex concepts to understand, but our team at Omnia360 Facility Solutions is happy to assist in today’s blog. 

Digital Facility Solutions & Big Data Analytics

In the field of Facility Management, data-driven decision-making exists in the use of digital facility solutions. This means everything from wireless internet to the use of electronic management systems. 

Big data analytics has been used to track click patterns on websites to the movement of employee tags in organizations. It all connects to big data analytics as a method of improving efficiencies. 

Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence

The ability for machines to self-regulate by learning patterns of behavior associated with their operators is highly effective in facility management. Big data analytics helps with this. 

Take an HVAC unit, for example. An HVAC without machine learning technology will run on the settings directed to it and provide analytics on daily run-time. However, if machine learning were to be included in the building of an HVAC unit, the unit would be able to self-optimize run time, the output of air and provide analytics on that information all on its own. 

This behavior pattern would begin when the operator first programs the unit to self-run. Then with daily monitoring of production, it would self-optimize and begin developing altered behavior patterns for different external stimuli.

Internet of Things (IoT)

So, if this were the case, if an HVAC can learn how to self-optimize, the next question would be to ask how? That would be from a concept called the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT is the name given to any physical device embedded with sensors and software technology that allows that device to communicate with external devices and software systems. 

Our example is how HVAC ties into this. Suppose an HVAC is embedded with machine learning technology that utilizes IoT. As the HVAC learns how to self-optimize, it can then transfer information stored outside of itself into a database. 

This is where big data analytics comes into play. The information of that particular HVAC systems optimization patterns can be collected over time and built into charts to monitor the machine’s behavior. This can be used for maintenance, reviewing the average output, and much more.

Innovations in the technological world aid corporations to integrate facility solutions into their software systems under one platform; technology is all-encompassing and ever-changing. Management teams are tasked with the goals to reduce costs and improve business operations. How does technology fit into this notion, and what forms of technology apply to integrated facility solutions? To remain successful in this digital age, staying up-to-date with technological devices and trends is imperative in propelling your business towards success. In today’s blog by Omnia360, we discuss how technology is integrating into facility solutions. 

Artificial Intelligence and Automation

AI technologies like voice recognition perform automated controls that popularize the software solution industry as we know it. Machine learning enables the apparatus to listen, understand, and perform voice-operated tasks for future results and learn predictive measures. These technologies complement analytical software to draw reports, analyze, and store data faster than the average human. AI advancement fosters work efficiency and rapid processes, allowing team leaders to understand the software if issues or defects arise proactively. 

Project Management Apps 

Project management software helps maintain the workforce needs and promotes rapid responses to complex and straightforward concerns. Project management apps work well with facility solutions because it integrates the entire team under one communicative platform. This technology improves work experience by reducing confusion and providing quick access to a supervisor or department head. Team network applications accelerate operational fluidity and allow the team to plan. 

Augmented Reality 

Augmented reality is advancing facility solutions by changing the blueprinting and visualization dynamic. AR applications create an immersive digital realm portraying 3D images to showcase what a wall or structure will look like in the physical world. Imagine taking a picture of a living room and through AR dragging and dropping the exact 3D image of your dream couch? In a simplified sense, technology integration solves facility management to achieve cost reduction and promotes productivity.
