The severity of labor shortages is growing across a variety of industries. Many building engineers in the current workforce are aging or retiring. There are not enough individuals with the skills needed to replace them, not to mention the inevitable knowledge gap when replacing people with twenty-five-plus years’ experience. The diversity of energy management systems along with their increasing complexity is also proving to be a challenge for attracting talent or reskilling current professionals in the workforce. These challenges are also affecting facility managers and building owners, as it’s now harder to keep buildings healthy and efficient with less techs to upgrade or service them.
The shrinking labor pool is forcing companies to do more with less. Impact-Driven Service will bridge this gap.
Impact-Driven Service provides real-time data that allows for corrective action to help prioritize repairs and reduce operational expenses, acting like a super-tech evaluating the systems 24 hours a day. Data gathered from the analytics system can unlock powerful insights around comfort, energy savings, maintenance, and repairs. It can maintain equipment based on actual run time and detect pre-failure conditions so that issues can be addressed proactively saving time, money, and avoiding comfort issues. Higher-level strategic operations can be conducted by LONG to effectively manage and support lower-skilled operators remotely.
Benefits extend beyond delivering cost savings and improving energy efficiencies:
- OpEx - reducing operating expenditures through the delivery of efficiencies
