Current developments in the real estate sector, new working environments and digitalisation are changing the job profile and the requirements for facility management. In the other blog posts in this series, the relevant real estate trends, the status quo of the industry and the opportunities that arise for clever facility managers are highlighted. Focus on…
Dry air, excessively high temperatures and a high CO2 content often impair performance and well-being in offices. Therefore, the indoor climate should be consciously controlled and controlled. This allows you to reduce sick leave and increase productivity. In this blog post, we have summarised exactly how the indoor climate affects you and what measures you…
For a smart building, the interaction of various IoT solutions is necessary. But which providers keep their promises? How do the added values become visible? And how do you measure the (economic) benefits? The AIRE SmartLab is a test environment for smart building solutions in which these questions are answered. Johannes Nussbaum, Head of Innovation…
In our last blog post , you learned how relevant CO2 levels are indoors. The higher these are, the higher the risk of infection, for example from COVID-19 or flu. At the same time, productivity and the ability to concentrate also decrease. In this blog article, we want to show how easy it is to…
In part 1 of our blog series, we have already presented numerous use cases on the topic of smart buildings. And now let’s move on: Practical use cases that are not a vision of the future, but that you can have implemented in a few weeks (some of them even faster!). While some managers are…
The topic of COVID-19 is currently putting society to the test. The top priority is to reduce the risk of contagion and avoid a second wave of infections. In addition to hygiene measures, environmental factors such as humidity also influence the likelihood of infection. For this reason, scientific studies on the interplay between COVID-19, viral…
Sensors are necessary to collect data, for example from machines or buildings. In many cases, this means laying a lot of cables, both for power and for transmitting the data. However, depending on the location of the sensor, this can be time-consuming or simply impossible. If you want to avoid breakthroughs in walls, cable clutter…
Less carbon dioxide indoors not only helps for better concentration. In fact, CO2 is a good indicator of lack of ventilation and thus a simple measure against COVID-19. CO2 monitoring with the help of sensors can reduce the risk of corona infections. At the same time, working conditions are improved by fresh air. Reducing the…
Revenue-related metrics are important when operating stores. However, they are not enough to optimize and make store operations sustainable, which is necessary to withstand increasing competition. Enormous cost savings are possible through energy efficiency, optimal storage and the prevention of building damage. In this blog post, you can find out how you can realize this…
Facility management requires active designers and thought leaders who make a measurable contribution to the implementation of the corporate strategy. And this between the demands of owners, tenants, employees and visitors. Digitalization is a challenge, but also an opportunity. In a 30-minute presentation, Frank Schröder, Head of Facility Management at Phoenix Contact, will show how…
