Buildings have more impact on the natural environment than any other sector of the economy. The future of facilities is going to be governed by how effectively we can transform facilities management towards lowering utilities and operating costs, minimizing waste, and improving work space based on measurements, commissioning and retro-commissioning of buildings. This seminar presents simple operation and maintenance measures guided by trained O&M staff to optimize demand with building automation, load shaving technologies and collaboration with other parts of organizations to integrate HVAC&R systems with other building systems to enhance the effectiveness of integrated operational and maintenance practices.
