Technology innovations provide Professional Facility Managers with the tools necessary to improve building performance and environmental conditions, while saving both time and money. 

Facility Technology is a broad topic that ranges from building automation controls (BAM), building information modeling (BIM), environmental monitoring, energy management, computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS), access control and security surveillance systems, and regulatory agency compliance and much more.

Realizing we have a limited meeting time; this discussion will briefly touch on some of these technologies that can be further evaluated for use by our FMs. 

Tyler Barrett of Elite Automation will provide an overview of building automation which includes the evolution and future of building automation, along with cost savings examples for building owners and considerations for choosing a building automation system (BAS). 

 Discussion Topics:
- Building automation overview.   
- Evolution of building automation
- The future of building automation
- Cost savings for building owners
- Things to watch out for when choosing a BAS. 

Robert will share details as to how to best use advanced technology to drive the success of your Facility Management Department. As companies are making data driven decisions and investments, it is critical to understand the types of FM technology, the data produced from these platforms, how to apply that data, and most importantly, how to translate that information to others in the organization.
