Manage Your Building Controls Workforce & Jobs More Efficiently
Modern Technology Requires Modern Solutions
The building controls service industry has innovated to the point that many of us could not have imagined. Most of our years managing the controls and operation of our buildings have been defined by processes that are hard to replicate and unduly complicated, such as analog inputs and outputs. For the majority of this experience, we could not have imagined how our technology would impact our building’s controls.
But the support of IT standards has revolutionized the industry. This connectivity has changed the demand for flexibility and sustainability. From the series of services available to help the electric grid to the integration of renewable energy, our modern approach to building control services has the opportunity to contribute to resilience and reliability.
It is undeniable that building controls have entered the digital era. The drive for energy efficiency and sustainability is being coupled with the demand for reducing costs. Each of these requirements creates pressure for building control services that provide mobile field services.
To survive, you must evolve to deliver faster service and superior customer experiences.
Specific Challenges For Building Controls Services
Building control service providers cannot afford to miss out on dynamic technological and mobile solutions. Exhaustive advancements have created an environment of technological, operational, and financial requirements that necessitate innovative and strategic responses from building managers.
Improved building performance is a core principle facing this field service industry. Modern controls have proven themselves to significantly improve a building’s efficiency, comfort, and safety. However, the building’s ongoing performance depends on the proper design, programming, operations, and configuration of services. Adapting to the new technology that governs buildings’ operation and performance is critical to properly executing building control services.
New technologies include advanced data-collection and management tools, and a variety of other computing technology tools. These technological resources have maximized data-driven modeling and the broad availability of analytics. Being able to lower costs with specialized hardware and cloud-based technologies has also dramatically increased efficiency. A building control services organization must be educated on these advancements and equipped with the proper resources to respond to these innovations.
Cost reduction is at the top of the list for new building control services. Much of the technology available today offers a reduction in costs, but it is too commonly being used in ways that do not provide cost savings. Installing and utilizing new technology will allow building control services to offer their clients the reduced costs genuinely available to them.
Your building controls services must adopt dynamic and mobile technological advancements to succeed. Financial and operating pressures drive building managers to choose solutions that optimize space utilization and operational costs.
There is no room for multiple site visits, lost paperwork, and duplicated data entry. To compete, you need a solution that removes constraints and adds new dimensions of service to your value proposition. At the same time, it eliminates the restrictive systems of paperwork orders and timesheets.
