Running a building isn't the job it used to be. Managing a facility's connected systems – HVAC, electric, lighting, etc. – requires an understanding of the big picture so that they work together optimally and efficiently.

Installing new technology is only half the story. In order to get the most out of your building, operations and maintenance staff must learn to manage and analyze energy usage properly.
