Facility management services for cost cutting with sense.

Whether you’re a celebrated and seasoned facilities manager or just an aspiring one, we all know that this is a job that requires continued education and plenty of sage advice, especially when it comes to the question of executing new technologies. The facility management services help to boost many production costs, reduce liabilities and enjoy the company’s core business.

Here are some of the basic costs, many people might be aware of but do not follow to the letter. Take some time to peruse these tips and tricks so that you too can do what you need to make your facility as modern and safe as possible.

4 Tips for up your sleeve as a facility manager:

• Cut night-site lighting: Depending upon how your site lighting is operated and circuited, you can create an ‘economize mode’ for overnight when the site is at its lowest occupancy. Keep perimeter site lighting around your property and all entrances and main drives lit. You need to make certain that the lighting up close to the building and all entrance and exit doors will remain on along with any emergency fixtures lighting pathways. Look for the site lighting in between these zones and make accommodations in your lighting automation controllers to be able to shut off zones or circuits that are least occupied.

• Replace older lighting with LEDs: Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre chose LEDs to replace existing lighting in a parking garage open 24/7, halving the garage’s power consumption. Meanwhile, Mediapolis Community Schools in Mediapolis, IA, also embarked on a retrofit of LED exterior lighting. Most of our old lights were either 250 or 175 watts. Those were replaced with 30-watt LED. Our 70-watt lights were replaced with 20-watt LEDs and our 70-watt can light were replaced with 10-watt LEDs. We’ll get a nice rebate from our electric company, plus monthly savings on our electric bill.

• Devise a sustainable facility design plan: Sustainable design is more attainable and affordable than it’s ever been, especially when you think in terms of years instead of days and weeks. It’s also worth noting that sustainable design is very well favoured among the public, which is an extra incentive for companies interested in reinforcing their reputation as socially responsible and environmentally concerned.

• Consider less obvious developments that impact facility energy use: Some energy-related projects will be more or less hidden from the users and primarily pursued to reduce energy demand, such as chiller and fan-unit upgrades. Such projects may end up providing the building users with better temperature control, but this is not the primary goal of the upgrade. Operational changes such as reducing the hours of HVAC and lighting operation, and changing setback temperatures, which require very little expenditure (if any at all) do not directly affect user experience, but can produce large reductions in electricity loads. In general, working with the building operations team to reduce energy use can produce impressive reductions in load.

Anticipatory maintenance is all about planning, plain and simple. Every piece of equipment or machinery at your disposal or under your care should have a schedule of what type of maintenance it requires and when it requires that check-up. So does facility management services!
