With the world now transitioned from a post-Covid reality, locally, Hong Kong has drawn increasing attention to our relationship with and time spent in commercial, residential, community and public spaces. Companies have since started bringing into conversation how business strategies and practices should be redefined for more environment and social-oriented initiatives, as well as the integration of innovation to enable more tech-efficient use of space. Rethinking Facilities Management will advise on what this could mean for offices of the future, procurement and a new vision for sustainable facilities management.

Cutting Edge Technologies to Transform Facilities Management

15:35 – 16:25

Technology continues to transform the business landscape. It touches nearly every part of facilities management including energy efficiency, data decision making, work efficiency, predictive maintenance, work safety, space utilization optimization, occupancy comfort and controls, and remote monitoring.

Building owners face the challenge of adopting the right technology solutions that can provide resiliency for buildings, maintaining flexibility and competitiveness in the changing business climate, while driving a return on their technology investment. Emerging advancements in nanotech, space technology, and AI are expected to further expand the choices that will transform facilities management.
