An open and integrated approach to facilities management with CitectFacilities

Integrating disparate systems within facilities helps facility owners and managers achieve synergies that would otherwise not be possible with the traditional silo approach to managing HVAC, lighting, access control, security, fire & life safety and communications systems. An open and integrated solution that helps toward improved energy-efficiencies, enhanced environmental-sustainability, as well as higher tenant comfort, results in greater profitability for the facility manager, better tenant retention and a positive corporate image for both owner and manager.
Global energy consumption for buildings is expected to grow 45 percent from 2002 to 2025 (Source: World Business Council for Sustainable Development). Taking the glass half-full approach, this highlights the enormous savings potential from cost efficient energy and sustainability for buildings.

Critical success factors include:
  • Proactive facilities management
  • Outline clear and specific objectives in relation to what you want the integrated system to deliver
  • Continue to operate, while online changes are made
  • Centralization should not have to be at the expense of localization
  • Identifying the right provider
  • Clear rule base is established for how integrators should work in the system

Citect's facilities monitoring solution - CitectFacilities - is one such tool to help bridge the gap between building automation systems and facilities management systems.
In doing so, it helps facility managers to reduce operating costs and thus improve margins, while at the same time increasing visibility, control ncreasing visibility, control and standardization for their facility.

An open and unified view of operations will increase transparency, throw up anomalies, challenge facility managers to improve performance and tenants to be more responsible for energy use. Click here to read more.
