Enviros to sponsor and present at the upcoming EMA webinar

Achieving Your Facility Mission Through Analytics and Energy Management Team Integration

Abstract:

This discussion is about the challenges and opportunities associated with the implementation of a facility performance program and how it can be utilized by the collective facility management, including energy and maintenance teams, to assist in meeting the mission of both new and existing facilities.  

The application of facility analytics as a means of continuous performance evaluation is essential to achieve the mission of your facility. Consider, for example, the mission of a hospital varies significantly from that of an industrial warehouse. Both are driven by key performance indicators [KPIs] and metrics that establish whether or not the facility is meeting its goals. These metrics can be driven by environmental, social, and governance [ESG] goals, regulatory codes, and industry guidelines, or internally-developed targets focused on reliability, energy efficiency, and operational savings. Regardless of the driver, the need for a continuous process focused on identifying and improving mission-focused facility metrics is a necessity. 

Progress has been made in the use of analytics to report on critical facility metrics, however there is room to improve how this data is applied to deliver positive change. An ongoing process that equips the property management and maintenance teams with understandable performance metrics allows for a proactive approach to maintenance and repairs. 

Learning Objectives:

  • Discuss how to define the mission of a facility and how associated codes and guidelines impact the development of KPIs and metrics. 
  • Understand the challenges of data organization and maintenance of reliable connection to Building Automation Systems.
  • Discuss the benefits of implementing a performance management program. 
  • Build greater awareness of challenges associated with using fault detection to drive positive change in facility performance and strategies to better apply data to realize improvement.
