If your operations aren’t taking into account the occupancy levels in different parts of the building, you are likely wasting a lot of money, resources, and energy.

Your building is likely running on preset schedules of heating, cooling and cleaning services, all of which are wasted when occupancy levels are low or certain parts of the office aren’t being used as frequently as expected. You need a true understanding of your office space to manage and automate your spaces for unpredictable office space utilization.

What are facilities operations in office buildings?

Facilities operations can include housekeeping, custodial services, building engineering / management, physical security, and food service. For your office facilities operation to be working well you need to understand when service is necessary, and when service levels can be lowered to better serve your occupants and be cost effective.

If you are struggling with:

Overspending on your office facilities contracts
Excessive energy costs and unnecessary carbon emissions
Low employee satisfaction with your spaces
Inaccurate resource planning leading to staffing and material over spend.

It is likely that your facilities operations are holding back your overall company workplace performance.
