The Human Factor – Building Sustainability and Resiliency into the Facilities Management Organization
Orvil Dillenbeck, Canadian Nuclear Laboratories
The objective of this presentation is to discuss how many buildings are older than their operators, and a full set of drawings and manuals is a rare find. Combined with retirements, staff reassignments, and contract turnover it is easy to lose the institutional knowledge that keeps a building resilient and efficient. An experienced facility manager shares lessons learned in organizing and leading a team that transfers and even builds knowledge over time.

The objective of this presentation is to educate participants about recent advances in HVAC technology and cloud-based analytics that enable implementation of real-time performance management of building systems. They will hear the building owner’s perspective on case studies where these technologies have been deployed to improve building performance and obtain significant cost savings. State-of-the-art cyber security processes to protect building performance systems will also be discussed.
