Facilities managers can overcome reactive building operations by moving toward centralized, integrated platforms that enable real-time monitoring and coordination.
The key to unlocking significant energy savings and performance gains is for facilities managers to prioritize operational excellence before turning to costly capital upgrades.
Net zero energy buildings produce as much energy as they consume, reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and their adverse impact on the environment. Because facility managers are responsible for the operation and performance of HVAC, lighting and electrical systems – major contributors to GHG emissions by buildings – managers often are central players in the efforts of their organizations to achieve net zero status.
In this video, Mark Baker director of facilities with the Denver Art Museum, discusses his role and priorities in helping his facilities and organization achieve net zero energy status.
