“This has been the most interactive and highly innovative conference I have ever attended, especially the Simulation session.” A similar response was received from all the delegates attending the DigiFM Conference which concluded with the coveted CREFM Awards.
DigiFM once again enabled high level networking and knowledge sharing with active participation from industry leaders and experts shaping the future of facility management. Sustainability, technology adoption, innovative strategies to optimize building operations… the discussions responded to the practical cases with active engagement with the audience.
Building Information Modelling (BIM) was highlighted as a critical tool for reducing carbon emissions and enhancing operational efficiency. By creating digital twins of buildings, BIM enables data-driven decision-making and facilitates sustainable design and construction practices. The power of big data analytics was spotlighted as a key driver for optimizing facility performance. By leveraging data-driven insights, facility managers can identify areas for improvement, reduce costs, and enhance occupant satisfaction.
The conference explored various technologies, including IoT, AI, and automation, which can significantly contribute to sustainable building operations. From energy-efficient systems to smart building controls, these technologies can help reduce environmental impact and operational costs.
The importance of designing facilities with the end-user in mind was emphasized. Focus can be prioritized on the needs of occupants by designing flexible, adaptable, and comfortable workspaces by which facility managers can create healthier, more productive, and sustainable workspaces.
And for the first time, the critical issues of security and resilience was addressed. By implementing robust security measures and adopting a risk-based approach, facility managers can protect their facilities and occupants from threats.
As the facility management industry continues to evolve, the insights gained from DigiFM 2024 will undoubtedly shape the future of sustainable and smart buildings.
We thank TenonFM for being a gold partner.
