Hidden saving in HVAC systems
FacilitiesNet
Ask 100 maintenance and engineering managers to describe their facilities' energy management programs, and chances are most would describe in detail that they are installing sophisticated, high-cost, high-efficiency systems and components that will dramatically improve operating efficiency. In other words, projects.
Lobby and public areas emerge as focal points of hotel design
New England Real Estate Journal
How has hotel design evolved in the past few years?
As trends, technology, and the growing needs and expectations of guests change, we as an industry must adapt with them.
One of the main things we are seeing in the evolution of hospitality design is the elevated importance of the lobby and public spaces as focal points of hotel architecture and design.
To-do list for facility management
AutomatedBuildings.com
Facility management is undergoing a significant process of evolution and transformation. The days when the facilities management or engineering group was housed in a small office in the basement next to the elevator mechanical room are long gone. The profile and value of the facilities management team has become more visible and critical as organizational executives grapple with energy, building costs, finances and occupant expectations.
Accurate HVAC comparisons require time and effort
Intelligent Utility
Even to people with no heating, ventilation and air conditioning knowledge, it is obvious that the large air conditioning units in stores, factories and other large single zone HVAC applications consume massive amounts of energy. It's also intuitive that the more efficient each unit is, the lower the energy cost. However — even among HVAC industry engineers — accurately projecting these savings is a complicated endeavor. It can be done but requires a considerable amount of time and effort.

Energy efficiency initiatives, advanced features to transform building automation market
FMLink
Building owners and facilities managers across the globe are increasingly adopting building automation systems to tackle rising energy costs, according to a new report from Frost & Sullivan. As buildings account for nearly one-third of the global energy use, and are the leading contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, the need for building automation systems is only expected to grow.

If you can't measure, you can't manage
Facility Management Journal
An important but often neglected responsibility of people who own or manage facilities and real estate assets is to establish performance metrics and evaluate the condition of their properties on a routine basis against those metrics. The quality of decisions that facility managers make is directly related to the quality of information available to them.
Why buy LED lighting anyway?
By Pamela Tresp
 By now everyone has heard of LED lighting, and Kermit the Frog isn't the only one complaining that "it's not easy being green." New technology, especially any kind of electronics, can be expensive and constantly changing, making it difficult to know when to take the plunge. So why are you using or considering LED for your facility? The reason I ask this question is because of some of the choices in LED products I have seen facility managers and building engineers purchase. Keep in mind, I'm not judging.
Will climate change drive a revolution in building design?
Eco-Business
Ever since the first public buildings were erected thousands of years ago, their spaces, surfaces and sounds have been designed to influence human behavior inside and out. This ranges from the quietness of libraries, to the music in religious buildings and the "buzz" of shops. In light of climate change, perhaps the biggest challenge facing designers today — especially in the developing world — is that buildings are the largest users of energy for heating and cooling, accounting for around some 40 percent of energy consumption.
