July Interactive Issue Preview
HVAC
As facility executives and managers continue the search for opportunities to curtail energy use in their facilities and lower their greenhouse gas emissions, attention is growing on an emerging technology — ground source heat pumps — that offers a range of potential benefits. Ground source — or geothermal — heat pumps provide heating and cooling by using the ground as a heat sink to absorb excess heat when the aboveground temperatures are warmer and as a heat source when aboveground temperatures are cooler. The pumps use the constant temperature of the shallow earth wherever the ground can be cost-effectively accessed to depths below seasonal temperature variations. We’ll also include a sidebar video featuring a project profile of Baltimore Public Schools’ installment of geothermal heat.
Improving the Restroom Experience
Restroom renovations are an opportunity to completely reimagine the user experience. This article explores how facility executives can rethink restroom layouts by focusing on key elements such as entry access, traffic flow, new fixtures, and hygiene upgrades.
Safety and Security
In an era where school safety demands a multi-dimensional approach, Norristown Area School District in Pennsylvania is rethinking the infrastructure and strategies needed to keep students, staff, and visitors secure. With aging buildings — many over six decades old — the district is prioritizing capital investments around life safety and modern security technology. Listen to an audio conversation with Jeffrey D. Cardwell, Chief Operating Officer for Norristown Area School District, recorded at Show Central during NFMT, about the school's safety program.
Disaster Planning and Business Continuity
Fires, tornadoes, hurricanes and earthquakes are just some of the kinds of disasters that facility executives must consider when developing an institutional and commercial facility emergency response plan. In this article, we’ll speak with managers about what elements are necessary to implement an effective plan to keep occupants away from the danger and return business operations to normal quickly.
Backup Power Video Sidebar
We’ll include a video about backup power options providing an overview of generators, uninterrupted power supply (UPS) and battery energy storage systems (BESS).
Data and Asset Management
Advances in facilities technology have created pools of data related to the performance and condition of key systems, from HVAC and lighting to plumbing and electrical. In this article, we’ll discuss strategies and tactics owners and managers can use to access critical data and use it to produce tangible benefits for facilities and organizations.
Healthy Buildings Promote Return to the Office
As organizations rethink their workplace strategies, healthy buildings are emerging as a powerful tool to entice employees back to the office. This video explores how WELL-certified buildings — designed to prioritize air quality, natural light, wellness amenities, and overall occupant health — create environments that employees actually want to return to.
Podcast: AI
Mackenna Moralez is joined by Building Operating Management’s Facility Influencer and industry expert Shawn Black to kick off the second season. The pair discusses AI and the promises and pitfalls of the emerging technology and how it is already shaping our lives.
Visualizer: Lighting
Libraries require a variety of lighting set ups to showcase their resources, make the space inviting for patrons, and support staff needs. The Oceanside Library in New York renovated its lighting to create a beautiful, functionable space that also met sustainability goals for energy efficiency, as well as supported user comfort, wellness and biophilic design.
Data Centers
As surging demand for data — fueled by AI and digital services — drives major changes in data centers, energy needs are also rising. Operators are exploring alternatives to the strained traditional power grid, including self-generated power, natural gas systems and small modular reactors (SMRs).
