One goal of a facility renovation is to ensure that current occupants are happy and comfortable in their environment while making the facility more appealing to prospective occupants. But if indoor air quality isn't properly managed throughout the job, negative outcomes — such as sick employees and upset tenants — could undermine the whole project.

What should the hotel of the future look like?
That’s what Deloitte attempted to answer recently when it conducted an ethnographic research study with Doblin.
What Deloitte found in its research was that the hotel industry needs to think outside "silos defined by brands and spaces" and become an "integrator" of experiences, people, cultures, spaces, and processes. In other words, the hotel of the future is about people, first and foremost. The hotel of the future has to think outside the traditional four walls and into the overall experience.

Service will be the new differentiator in 2017. Every quality hotel in operation is host to a comfortable bed, high-quality amenities and fast internet connection. What's more, guests who don’t care about service are shifting their interests away from hotels and toward home-sharing services, such as Airbnb, therefore any guest stepping into a hotel is there because they enjoy the service a hotel offers.

Pumps are designed to accomplish two tasks: overcome friction and move fluids by changing the pressure of a fluid or gas. Friction losses are head losses in the piping system. The magnitude of these losses is determined by the liquid being pumped, pipe size, type of pipe, flow rate, and the number of bends, valves, and other restrictions in the piping system. Fluids always flow from a higher pressure to a lower pressure.

A building manager or contract cleaner orders supplies. Upon delivery, the building manager/contractor realizes it's not what was ordered. This scenario can happen to the best of us.
Even though most distributors have taken advantage of new technologies that help streamline ordering and minimize errors, mistakes can and do happen.
Sometimes a product is pulled from a shelf because it "looks" similar to what was ordered; sometimes computer errors occur; and sometimes there is no real explanation at all-in other words, it just happened.
