Insights from the BMS and Decarbonization Workshop
Decarbonization goals present both challenges and opportunities for innovation and new efficiencies. The right building management system is crucial to those efforts.
What does my Building Management System have to do with decarbonization?
Today’s drive towards sustainability can pose challenges for many businesses. A recent webinar by Johnson Controls on engineering a green future highlighted these very challenges and provided critical insights that can help turn them into opportunities by leveraging your building management system (BMS). Here’s a look at those insights from our recent workshop:
1. Decarbonization Goals and Challenges Come in All Shapes and Sizes
Many organizations struggle to meet their decarbonization targets despite commitments and investments. Achieving reductions in carbon emissions and improving sustainability requires navigating complex operational landscapes.
Decarbonization goals present both challenges and opportunities for innovation and new efficiencies. The right building management system is crucial to those efforts.
2. Talent Shortages in Facilities Management Persists
As experienced professionals retire, finding new talent proficient in sustainable practices and technology integration becomes increasingly challenging.
3. Data’s Role in Facilities Management is Critical to Decarbonization Goals
Data from connected devices within facilities provides real-time insights into energy consumption, emissions, and environmental conditions: all crucial for tracking progress towards decarbonization goals and optimizing operational efficiencies. Effective data management needs a robust building management system (BMS).
4. Analytics Software as a Service (SAAS) Facilitates Understanding
Analytics Software as a Service (SAAS) platforms transform raw data into actionable insights. They visualize data and enable in-depth analysis, helping stakeholders monitor performance metrics, detect trends, and adjust strategies in real time.
5. Semantic Tagging Standards Support Consistent Data
Semantic tagging standards play a vital role in standardizing data structures and meanings across different systems. Adopting these standards enhances data clarity and promotes seamless data exchange, which is critical for sustainable practices.
