Hotel Management
Nobody enjoys spending money when they don't have to, but hotels do just that all the time. When a packaged terminal air conditioner or heating, ventilation and air conditioning system component breaks on property, leadership turns to engineering to find out if the device in question can be salvaged or if a new purchase is necessary, and these can be expensive decisions to get wrong.

In 1173, the foundations for the famous Tower of Pisa were laid on ground too soft to properly support its weight. The resulting lean gradually progressed until the survival of the building was so at risk that extensive renovation work was required to partially correct the tilt and safeguard the tower's future. In flooring renovation projects, it is important to consider what can go wrong, to increase the chances of getting it right first time. Here, Scott Coffey, territory sales manager at National Flooring Equipment discusses a few simple ways to increase the chances of flooring project success.

Facility and maintenance management processes require informed decisions on an organization's real estate portfolio and related equipment in real time onsite. Too often, documents, images and instructions are not available or not up-to-date, which results in unnecessary effort, wasted resources and poor decision making. Fortunately, augmented reality is one of the essential digitization technologies that can be exploited in some of those cases.

Maintenance and engineering managers in institutional and commercial facilities know that healthier buildings help occupants feel and work better. No, maybe the general public will start to take note of facility conditions.
A new Harvard study has found that the key to working better, sleeping better, and feeling better could be rooted in the design, maintenance, and operation of the buildings where we spend the majority of our time.

From hip lobbies with a coffee shop ambiance to shared living spaces linking guest rooms, more hotels are turning their focus to providing inviting community areas.
For corporate travelers, it may mean sending a few emails from a co-working alcove complete with power and USB outlets, while leisure visitors may linger around tables stacked with board games or post photos to social media from the lounging zones.
"Today's travelers often place greater value on convenience, sense of place and community than they do on the traditional luxuries offered by hotels," says David A. Black, Americas Hotels Lead, JLL Project and Development Services.
