85% of facility managers oversee more than one physical location and many oversee dozens over vast regions. Facility teams are generally responsible for cutting building costs and reducing energy use, but doing so is nearly impossible without direct access to energy usage data and the right set of energy reduction tools.
Building automation technology can simplify building data and help facility teams make smart energy usage decisions based on actual building trends and across multiple locations.
Facility Managers Need To Be Connected Via a Smartphone or Tablet
Facility managers are constantly on the go, dealing with a variety of issues at any number of locations. This means face time with desktops is limited. Fortunately, building automation technology can now be accessed from nearly any mobile device with a connection to the internet. Advanced Auto-Matrix is one of several manufactures using current mobile technology to put facility managers in direct control of building data with open-platform building automation solutions.
