In the facility management (FM) industry, both sustainability and workplace optimization have shifted from long-term goals to urgent, short-term priorities. With buildings currently accounting for around 40% of global carbon emissions, the need to improve the environmental performance of our buildings has never been greater. This white paper by Frost & Sullivan reveals the benefits of integrating building management solutions on a single technology platform, actionable data and tangible solutions to improve the management of buildings, how to leverage data to improve efficiency and tackle the sustainability challenges of the future and how to use integrated data insights to improve the way we design, build and operate buildings; comply with regulations; report our emissions; eliminate waste; and reduce operating costs and minimize risk.
