Overview of electronic leak detection (ELD) methods and how they work in roofing and waterproofing.
Facilities managers are accountable for NFPA 25 compliance and must build the technical knowledge to distinguish inspection, testing and maintenance in order to address issues before they lead to safety risks, fatalities or legal consequences.
Facilities leaders must treat workplace violence as a critical operational risk by strengthening emergency planning, training and response protocols to protect occupants and reduce liability.
In order to strengthen both sustainability and performance in plumbing systems, facilities managers must prioritize durable, recyclable materials, adopt proactive maintenance strategies and leverage new protective technologies.
What happens when a system fails isn’t just about the equipment—it’s about the decisions made long before it ever went online.
For facility managers, energy decisions are no longer just about cost—they’re about continuity, risk, and long-term performance.
Test and balance (TAB) can turn hidden HVAC issues into actionable data, enabling facilities managers to make smarter maintenance decisions.
Modern energy management systems are helping facility professionals reduce rising utility costs through smarter operational control.

Today’s affordable devices can still be the wrong tool in the wrong hands, and what facility managers should ask before trusting results.
Facility managers can see how asset data can be “conditioned” from project models, integrated with CMMS platforms and delivered in a way techs can use in the field.
Coordinating building systems is quickly becoming a core facility management skill.
Your parking garage is no longer “just a garage,” and the old sprinkler assumptions may not match today’s risks.
AI can improve predictive maintenance, but data governance will decide whether you’re allowed to deploy it at all.
Despite political shifts and regulatory delays, the Americans with Disabilities Act remains fully in force, and those who think otherwise may be putting their organizations at risk.
Most commercial buildings weren’t designed for efficiency – and facility teams inherit the consequences.
Artificial intelligence won’t replace technicians, but the facility managers who learn to use the technology will inevitably run circles around those who don’t.
The consequences of lockouts remain one of OSHA’s most-cited safety failures and the consequences can be felt immediately and are at times irreversible.
David Trask examines how rapid tech shifts, labor shortages and outdated infrastructure are reshaping the work of today’s facility managers.
Electricity prices are rising and it’s not simply because facilities are using more energy.
Benchmark’s experts break down the real reasons pavements fail—and they’re rarely what your contractor tells you.
As codes tighten and fire risks evolve, facility managers are carrying more responsibility than ever.
If utility bills keep climbing but budgets remain flat, this may be talk for you.
