The world is changing rapidly and sustainability has become a critical concern for individuals, businesses, and governments. As a Facility Manager, implementing Sustainable Facilities Management practices can help reduce energy consumption, decrease carbon footprint and create a positive brand image. Here, we will discuss how sustainable facilities management can help to achieve long-term energy efficiency and positive brand image.

A) Reduced Carbon Footprint:

Sustainable facilities management helps reduce the carbon footprint of buildings and facilities. An effective and sustainable facility management policy closely monitors energy waste and puts measures in place for reducing energy usage. These measures can include performing an energy audit, installing solar panels, using LED lights or compact fluorescent light bulbs, revamping buildings, adopting green building practices and running assets only when required. By reducing energy usage, Facility Managers can decrease carbon emissions and help protect the environment.

B) Cost Savings:

Sustainability brings financial benefits to buildings. Renewable energy resources used for green buildings are more affordable than fossil fuels, allowing facility managers to pay back upfront costs quickly. Green buildings are also valued higher than traditional ones, making them an excellent return on investment. Smart technology, such as occupancy sensors, motion sensors and ventilation systems can yield significant savings on electricity bills. Investing in telemetry systems to identify leaks can also help mitigate water consumption.

C) Waste Reduction:

Eco-friendly and sustainable facility management practices help reduce waste and water usage. Facility Managers can implement several strategies for reducing waste output such as vermicompost pits, rainwater harvesting pits and sensor-based low-flow aerators. Waste Management awareness programs can educate employees, clients and residents on the importance of waste management which ultimately helps in keeping the environment clean.

D) Conducive Work Environment:

Sustainability in buildings ensure high air quality, security and water standards. All these contribute to creating a comfortable working environment for employees, leading to increased productivity and benefits for the business. Employees want to work for a company that demonstrates corporate social responsibility and sustainable practices, making it easier for organizations committed to going green to recruit top talent and hold on to existing staff. Sustainability also increases the productivity of the employees and assets, reduces absenteeism and attracts good talent.

E) Enhanced Brand Reputation:

Reducing an organization’s impact on the environment is both a morally right thing to do and good business sense. Consistently good environmental performance can help boost brand reputation by demonstrating to clients, customers and employees that the organization cares about the planet. Sustainable facilities management ensures that organizations have a minimal, neutral, or even positive impact on the environment.

Conclusion:

Sustainable Facilities Management is no longer just a trendy word, it’s the need of the hour and is here to stay. Facility managers can implement sustainable practices to reduce energy consumption, decrease carbon footprint and create a positive brand image. Going Green and switching to Sustainable Facilities Management reduces the negative impact of the facilities on environment which not only benefits the planet but also yield positive outcomes in the long-run. Sustainable facilities management is a long journey, but by taking the right steps, Facility Managers can lead organizations on the way to a greener, healthier and more sustainable future.

While Integrated Facilities Management (IFM) has transformed the role and practices of facilities management for countless companies yet misconceptions surrounding its implementation, value and usage still persist. Some companies believe that they can cut costs by managing facilities on their own but the repercussions of such decision could end up harming the business in many ways.

There are numerous misconceptions about facility management:

1. It’s more expensive

Verdict: False

Facility Management is not strictly a cost. It’s a benefit to the company, its people and the process. An integrated facility management program improves organizational capability to scale up/down efficiently. It reduces the operational burden by leveraging maintenance tasks in a timely and efficient manner.

A robust preventive maintenance plan not only maintains the assets but also helps in their optimum utilization. Deploying a facility management program saves time by increasing human involvement with tasks.

2. It’s a risk to job

Verdict: False

A facility management company should be seen as a partner and not as a threat. It makes the business more valuable by providing technology, specialized skill set, strategy and support teams. All these elements are needed for the smooth running of the business. A Facility Management is no exception in the rapidly changing world, considering the challenges in terms of changing technology, extensive training of staff and expert consultation, one can handle these changes but by teaming up with a facility management company, management can free up their time to think strategically and take better decisions.

3. Loss of visibility and control

Verdict: False

A business needs better tools and technology to get the most out of system’s built-in features. It helps to track and manage asset warranty and insurance information. These are much needed if business operates at different locations. A facility management company provides a managed platform and helps in gathering relevant information about facilities portfolio which helps in better visibility and central control.

4. Overshadow client brand

Verdict: False

One of the primary goals of a facility management company is to promote and support the client brand and to constantly deliver that goal, we require:

A technology platform shared by facility managers and technician

Consistent benchmarks for facility operations

A way to validate every work order completed at various locations

Easily accessible reports and KPIs

One can easily track and manage quality but it doesn’t sound realistic when there are thousands of work orders. With the right facility management services company, it is easy to validate every work order, record asset information and manage quality and performance at each location. Facility management company acts as a backstage operator that helps to actualize the smooth running of facilities.

5. Customers and employees at risk

Verdict: False

Working with a facility management company means bringing in third party technicians and hence the management may worry about –

What if technicians aren’t qualified to do the work?

What if technicians aren’t certified and insured?

A facility provider ensures to handle these concerns on their own, vetting and selecting providers who are qualified, insured with background check.

Conclusion

In today’s fast paced world, facility services play a vital role and smoothens the operation process. A good facility management program can resolve inefficiencies, identify saving opportunities and boost the bottom line.  It can be presented as a way to intelligently save money and create revenue in both the short and long term. Hence, it is wise to implement a facility management program for significant cost savings and improved safety performance. As the saying goes – the best time to start was yesterday; the second-best time is today.

Buildings were traditionally an epitome of concrete, steel, physical form, and conceptual designs.

However with the rapid growth in Technology, IOT has taken the operational and functional efficacy of infrastructures to the next level.

facilities management

Smart operations are an integral component of the building management system. Whilst the facilities management system at a framework is managing the necessary requirements in the day to day routine, IOT is one such entrant that can catalyze the process and cut to chase, the delays in the whole network. Advanced mechanisms can identify the underlying threats well in advance and take necessary actions in order to correct the mishap if any.

To further understand the role of IOT, let’s dig deeper into its core capabilities:

Building maintenance and IOT:

From enhancing the safety and security with advanced mechanisms as Facial Recognition, detecting Intruders, and crisis management, IOT has made living environments more established and dependable. An enhanced sense of security prevails in these surroundings with an effective supervision over the framework’s operations. Integrated facilities management system can breathe a sigh of relief with the introduction of IOT, since it fosters the processes, making them more reliable.

Control building lighting:

Managing building equipments like HVAC systems, Electrical and fire systems and elevators has been made easy with the predictive maintenance capabilities of IOT. Supported by data analytics and machine learning, IOT lets one pre program the use of lights and eventually save on energy. Such a mechanism can detect threats well in advance and take the necessary precautionary measures to prevent any sort of system breakdowns from happening in the future.

control building lighting

Pre-program heating and cooling:

To save on energy when no one’s occupying the space, the HVAC systems must be connected to a network that enables to pre-program the heating and cooling systems to go on and off. While analyzing such data, the devices can share alerts and smartly advise the admin to take smart actions against the problem. One can save as much as 10% of the energy consumed in idle time which may add up to mountains of wastage if not monitored in time.

pre program heating and cooling

Control plug load:

While it is not easy to stop the undesired use of energy by unplugging each device off the board, smart building solutions connect the devices to computers which can cut off the plug load when the devices are not used by anyone. The whole practice reduces the unnecessary consumption of energy and incorporates a smart way of functioning with enhanced efficiency.

Our current world is under the influence of various environmental issues. Globalization has successfully linked people in the Integrated Facilities management system from different countries, but this has managed to convert many small local problems into international problems as well. As such, today, every society is under the influence of the good or bad consequences that come from one’s building management services.It is however imperative that we raise awareness on various concerns relating to one’s building management services, and how our actions can lead to serious environmental issues that must be addressed without delay. Precisely, each facility management system can make a difference to the environment in a positive manner. The emphasis should not only be on the awareness of the issue, but also on motivating the Facilities management staff on providing the necessary assistance to get started. For this purpose, practical solutions are provided that can be applied in everyday life without having to spend too much time or effort.

building management services

Being environmentally friendly means having a lifestyle that is parallel to the facility management system. It’s also about taking small steps towards Mother Earth to make this planet a better place for our facility management system communities and generations to come. A good way would to start with is by conserving water, driving less and walking more, consuming less energy, buying recycled products, eating locally grown vegetables, joining Integrated Facilities management environmental groups to combat air pollution, creating less waste and also planting more trees.

Some of the other ways to dwell in an environmentally friendly way can be read below:

1. Get to know the building management services resources better:start living with greater awareness of the resources that you use in your everyday life. Pay attention to how you choose to heat, travel, use water and use products manufactured by production practices. Consciousness is what will enable you to start making decisions that respect the environment.

get to know the building management services resources better

2. Practicing Conservation:With your new awareness of how facility management’s natural resources are used in your life, begin practicing conservation. It can also merely be turning off the lights when you leave the room and as complex as a variety of decisions when it comes to building management services. Your smart building management staff can help you assist with more details on the same, which needs an extra effort from the occupants to take the initiative and understand the terms.

3. Conserve Water:you need to save water because it takes a lot of energy to pump water from a river or lake to your home. Water conservation reduces the amount of energy required for filtering. Some ways to save water are: showering with small showers, repair leakage leaks, maintaining an open tap while washing your teeth, recycling water from your home, collect rainwater in your grass.

4. Change your travel habits:Driving and flying are two areas where you can make a real impact on environment friendly practices. Choose travel options that consume less fuel, or choose to travel less(if possible. And try to finish the job over a call or video conference), or choose more direct routes to save fuel. If your office is nearby, try to ride a bicycle instead of a car. This will reduce the carbon footprint and keep you healthy in the longer run.

change your travel habits

5. Reduce the use of harmful chemicals: Dangerous chemicals such as paints, oils, ammonia and other l solutions, when disposed in open air, can lead to environmental pollution which is hazardous for the air that we breathe. Contaminated air and water can have severe consequences for human health and lead to respiratory issues that could be fatal and may also lead to death. The building facility services must be careful of where to dispose these harmful chemicals in a safe manner, so as to not affect the environment or the health of its building occupants.

The rising pollution in the city has given birth to a multitude of ailments that have severely affected occupants of all age groups. The last four years in the history of Delhi have marked a hazardous 500+ units in the air quality index making for the worst air pollution levels in the country as opposed to any major city in the world.

While the air pollution in India is estimated to kill 1.5 million people every year, the bad air propagating in the environment has added India to the catalogue of world’s highest death rate from chronic respiratory diseases which have inevitably damaged the lungs of 2.2 million children in the country.
Roughly stated, the figures reflect a whopping 50% of children suffering from life threatening respiratory diseases and can’t be shown a promising future given the current circumstances.

Though it is only anticipated that whether the main reason behind the blinding smog is crop burning from the states of Punjab and Haryana and the drastic carbon emissions from vehicles, or the harmful gases emitted from chimneys or the industrial waste mixing with the air. All these components have added together to hazardous levels of pollution that is breathed every day and is slowly poisoning the living organism’s functional system. That said, it is true to believe that every living being in the country is thoughtlessly breathing venom and heading towards a shorter life span with each inbreathe.

While the situation is worsening with time, city cops are battling pollution with intense adversities given the dust and smog they are exposed to throughout the day. Such conditions are more hazardous, and may affect them with twice the intensity if corrective measures are not taken.

facilities management

Knowing this, Enviro – the facilities management arm by Vatika has taken a step forward to battle the précis by distributing 350 units of N95 masks to Brave hearts’, the heroic cop society in order to provide them with a safer breathing experience, while on duty.

The initiative was headed by Mr. Ajay Kumar Singh – President of Enviro and Mr. Debashish Mukherjee – who is the Marketing Head of Enviro. The two delegates came together with a thought provoking action in order to serve the cops with an act of gratitude. One can wear the mask for a range of 100 hours and when the mask begins to look dirty, it can be disposed and is recommended to not be worn again (since the trapped dust particles may render more harm if worn beyond the suggestible limit).

Enviro’s integrated facilities management services envision to create a safer and healthy environment through its green practices and hopes them to be adopted by other organizations so the nation can prosper together in a healthy environment. Though preventive measures are sure to bring down the worsening conditions, yet it is each individual’s responsibility to keep a keen eye on protecting the environment, while organizations and their facilities management services also come forward lead the force by executing the ploy to a safer living.

The danger of fire at office buildings is very detrimental to employees, business owners, their businesses as well as their customers. While everyone is operating at a life threatening risk, fire outbreak is more of a severe concern for Integrated facility management services, or almost all part of their core business operations that are usually under one management team using one office building to streamline communication and ensure efficiency of everyday business activities. The case for Facility management model of businesses stand a lower risk of losing major core business operations to significant fire outbreaks, since different core areas of their services are operated across several locations.

are you fire safe at your office buildings

Whether it’s an integrated facility management (IFM) model of business operation or facility management (FM), fire safety requisites is very critical. It is the responsibility of organizations and commercial building owners to effectively minimize the risk of fire outbreak by ensuring adequate fire safety procedures that are met by office staffs as well as visitors to ensure safety from the unnecessary fire accident.

What is fire safety?

Fire safety is often an integral part of building safety. Fire safety is a set of practices aimed at reducing the destruction caused by fire outbreaks. These measures include those designed to prevent fires and those used to limit the development and effects of fires once they have started.

Fire safety measures include those provided during construction of the building or implemented in structures already in place and noted threats from fire are commonly known as fire hazards.

what is fire safety

Every year, fires kill 5,000 people, injure more people and cost businesses more than $ 10 billion. The fantastic way to fight a fire is to prevent them from starting, but once this happens, there are several lines of defense.

Compliance with the appropriate security procedures in the office contributes by the integration of facility management and management systems, and all others.

Employees trained to deal with fires are the next line of defense. Your weapon is usually a fire extinguisher. They must be taught and ready to use fire extinguishers in their office, especially those in the Integrated Facilities Management Service. Fire extinguishers are an effective way to stop the fire or close it completely. Many types of fire extinguishers, but the most common are water, foam, carbon dioxide and dry chemicals.

These employees must be trained to know what kind of fire extinguisher shoulder be used. The fire extinguisher must conform to the type of fire that is closed. If marked with “A, B and C,” the majority of the fires of this contact will be extinguished easily.

Employees should learn to use extinguishing techniques: pull the pin, the point at the nozzle, press the shutter bar at the other end. The fire extinguisher will probably last only 15 seconds. If the fire refuses to go out, leave the location and wait for expert assistance.

You will never know when the fire will be declared. An extinguisher will be useful when the first sign of a fire hazard appears. Preventing fires is the best way to fight them if they start learning the lines of defense in his office. Do not be part of the thousands of tragic fires that occur each year. Follow the safety instructions and be self equipped to fight such life threatening crisis in a planned manner.

Facilities management is an integral component within just about any business. Responsible for the overall management within an organization, it has contributed to a bigger and wider horizon of benefaction beyond its visible aptitude.

While It has often been observed, how the gravity of Facility Management has levitated the functional efficacy in organizations, yet its significance remains as minisculed as a pebble.

However, it is an inevitable fact as to how Facility Management has been carving and transforming businesses over the years, while putting them back into their core zones and thrusting more focus on its accountability rather than the business doing it all alone.

The IT industry, on the bright side, has potentially been skilled with advanced tools and technologies and interestingly, it is presumably correct to anticipate if they are also potentially equipped to manage their facility services equally well.

Among a galaxy of reasons out there with respect to gravitating Facility Management, the bigger question is whether the IT industries can up their game alone proffering to the following factors:

  • Automated facility management
  • Improved project planning
  • Fast and accurate reporting
  • Improved disaster and planning capabilities
  • Data standardization across the organization
  • Integration with existing system and processes

These factors lay the basis of foundation in the contribution of facility management services in a business standard. The aim is not merely to establish a working environment, but to also manage the non core activities in a business and minimize costs by showing professional judgment and playing the role of a supporter.

Similarly at Enviro, our successful facilities management services aim at combining people and equipments with scientific processes. Our services can contribute to a business by conforming to several protocols, and ensure the elements as detailed below, leading a business to a benchmark position.

PROFESSIONAL JUDGEMENT

Facility management is not only about filling up spaces or putting equipments to use; rather It pre possessingly demands logical spacing of equipments as well. This helps the facilities management at Enviro in segregating the core and non-core activities of any business in order to be better proficient.

MINIMIZED COSTS

Considering the maximum exposure facility management brings to an organization, Enviro’s minimized costs are the key to its core functionality.

SUPPORTIVE ROLE

Facility Management at Enviro has been able to shape the success of its clients by uniquely supporting their core business activities by providing timely and accurate resolution to all related concerns. To name a few in association with us – TCS, SAP, Okaya, Iris Techpark and PayU India have successfully established a working niche with us over the past years and are looking forward to strengthen this bond in the future to come.

THE FACILITY MANAGEMENT TOOLS

One of the most important tools used in keeping the building management simple and effective is the Building information modeling (BIM). This technology enables organizations to visualize specific components of space, including structural elements like walls and windows and the location assets.

In addition to BIM, machine learning and artificial intelligence allows facility managers to implement intelligent asset maintenance, based on the actual utilization of assets. Here the machine learning prevents unexpected breakdowns of equipments through automatic updates to facilities managers, just when potential issues are detected by the system.

There are also incorporated in buildings, smart building technologies that use automated processes and technologies. E.g. devices connected to the internet of things (IOT) that automatically control the facility’s operations which include the heating of AC, lighting, security etc.

All these smart building technologies are always collecting data about both the workplace and the workforce. When connected to an integrated workplace management system (IWMS), all this consolidated data hits a single platform that can easily be accessed by facility managers which can further be fruitful in identifying opportunities to inspire how one’s facility is run.

With Facility Management having so much to offer, it is scandalous to understand the minimized participation of an organization’s foundation in the bigger schemata of plans.

With the availability of a plethora of newly developed technologies to ensure the effective functioning of people and processes, it is only an admirable aspiration to hope if Facility Management can move from being the unsung hero to the nightingale of an organization’s process stream.

Hence, this may move boulders of failed hopes and provide for a better stature of Facility Management, in shaping a world of sustainable business as it slopes up to bigger heights.

Facilities management – Importantly known as the framing foundation of an organization, that binds together any businesses’ functional upkeep.

Starting from a hierarchical channel of communication between the facility manager to the other potential components of a business, Corporate facilities management stands strong as a business’ backbone and maintains its continuity of operations like the governing eye. However, it is truly astonishing to actualize in today’s scenario, how diminished is the budding intelligence of Facilities management, that makes a businesses’ smooth operations feasibly practicable.

The hawk eye vision of facilities management, needless to mention, has contributed enough in enabling the maintenance, repairment, upgradation, and management of systems, people and processes. These elements have since been orchestrated in a well efficient manner without the hindrance of the business itself from its core business activities.

True to the fact above, it makes it impossible to imagine a business without a strong Facilities management, or without its existence in the system at all. While luckily, the case stands on a smooth platform today, where one can’t be certain, whether the platform is still enough to support its fixation or not.

Hence to the tune of the above thoughts, it is important that we acknowledge the 5 importantly surprising facts about Facilities management, that throw light upon its gravity in the efficient functioning of a business system:

Tailored Performance

Every business is different and so are its requirements. It is however not necessary for one to gulp down a whole big serving when you don’t bear the appetite. Similarly, depending upon the specific needs and requirements of a business, the business owners can choose between the requisites suitable for them, and tailor their facilities management needs accordingly. This makes the functional efficacy of a business simple and streamlines all operations in a precise and faultless manner.

Smart Management

Business owners, in order to allow their facilities managers to work with a universe of information and log compliancy, use smart softwares that enable them to do so with great ease and accuracy. Hence, Facility management integrates business information into one single platform. This ensures the movement of every process through the Facility management lifecycle and depicts how every parameter of the cycle is met, leaving no stones unturned.

Agile and Responsive

With the development of smart technologies and the availability of Facility management services on handy platforms like mobile applications and mobile sites, facility managers can now be pro-active in logging maintenance issues on the spot, while at the same time, they can also access the same set of data that is available on the main infrastructure. One such example of this is Enviro. Its demonstrative user interface allows easy navigation through a variety of services offered. This way, It becomes easier for facility managers to cater to people’s health and safety requirements and to respond to any exigency right on the spot. while the maintenance requirements can also have a speedy resolution without much hassle, it broadly serves the user’s perspective with quick updates and speedy request flows.

Proficient and Accountable

After all that we know or have known about facility management, it is true to its virtue that facility management works with a professionally rational and responsible behavior. It connects people and processes together and consistently splurges for ways to enhance its user experience. However, it is upon the facility manager to spruce up the processes and instruct the staff in accordance with the new upgrades.

The world is consistently thriving, and so is facility management as spontaneously looking for ways to better up its processes, and is slowly emerging as the new HERO OF THE REIGN.

proficient accountable

Since the success of an enterprise is dependent upon how well does its Facilities management perform, It also helps in shaping the functional foundation of the business and creates echoes of success in the valley of cut throat competition.

Hence suggestibly, It is only wise to consider with each passing milestone, whether or not your Facilities management is doing just enough to meet your business standards, and introspecting its processes to move hand in hand with your evolving business. A smart Facilities management service will enable a smarter business and create ripples of success in the dunking waters of rivalry.
