Current Conversations on MyFacilitiesNet:Architects are looking to you. Well, sort of. More accurately, they are looking for ways to more effectively give facility maintenance and engineering managers better information on key components, materials and systems in new and upgraded institutional and commercial facilities. Read my entire editorial from the latest issue of Facility Maintenance Decisions, and use the comments section to share your thoughts. How to Keep Cooling Towers Efficient According to a recent Building Operating Management article, if inflation stays on its current track for the next 15 years, by 2030 the overall cost of water and wastewater used for cooling towers could be greater than the cost of the energy saved by using cooling towers. But that doesn't mean facility managers have to choose between water efficiency and energy efficiency. The article, especially part 2, covers the next steps to take. Hot/Cold Call Drama: FM Complaints I needed a chuckle, so I was looking through some old emails from the "FM Complaints" project we did a while ago. Click through to read one of my favorites from the stories shared with me. Remember, the FM Complaints stories are 100% pure real-life drama, reposted anonymously to give us all a much needed laugh here and there, and still let everybody keep their jobs. So, if you have any outrageous occupant complaint stories (I know you do!), tales of things you can just barely believe happened in your facility, jawdropping occupant requests, and the like, do tell. Go ahead. Get it off your chest. I'm listening.
MyFacilitiesNet is the online hub for the facilities management industry. It provides a fast, easy, no-cost way for FM professionals like you to connect with your colleagues, talk about strategies, share valuable resources and build strong relationships...all from your own computer. Go to MyFacilitiesNet.com now and get in on the conversation. |
