An overwhelming number of facility managers experienced some sort of disruptive outage during the last 12 months, according to a survey.
A recent report released by Honeywell revealed that 91 percent of the managers surveyed experienced at least one disruptive incident in the last year. The report, “Rethinking Data Centers as Resilient, Sustainable Facilities,” is the latest in the company’s 2021 Building Trends series.
In addition to the disruptions that cause facilities to lose significant amounts of money, facility managers have many other concerns on their minds.
Looking forward to the next 12 to 18 months, 38 percent of surveyed managers cited improving automation, efficiency or sustainability is a top near-term priority.
Just over a third of the respondents also indicated that improving cybersecurity protocols and preparedness, improving energy efficiency, and improving security through video surveillance, access control and physical asset security were other top near-term priorities in their department.
