Role of Facility Management in Effective Waste Management and Energy Efficiency
by Enviro Vatika Enviro facility ManagementEffective facility management entails the
development of processes that meet the desired goals, cut costs, and save
energy. One goal of facility management is to simplify waste management while enhancing
energy efficiency. To achieve the goals, you need a clear procedure or a guide that
outlines the A to Z of the steps facility management staff has to take.
1. Waste Audit to Establish Areas of Improvement
Facility management staff audits the building or
facility to spot areas in need of performance improvement. Integrated
facility management services allows the incorporation of softwares and
systems to collect waste and energy data over a defined period.
The systems trace sources of waste, causes of waste,
and analyzes if there are ways of preventing this waste. Facility management is
a process focused on delivering the best results. Therefore, in waste
management, it focuses on reducing waste from the source.
The team then uses the collected info to develop a
facility tailored waste management program.
2. Identifying the Smart Tools for Efficient Waste Management
Facility management staff then analyzes and
recommends the necessary equipments to enhance waste management efficiently.
Moreover, they will also coordinate with their
seniors for incorporating smart technology tools that
will enhance waste collection while improving energy efficiency.
Smart technology tools today are a vital part of
facility management, for they enhance data collection, problem tracking, and
provide fast solutions to problems.
Smart sensors identify waste collection points and
provide information for action. They can predict dump filling time and allow
planning to counter overflows in energy-wasting.
Smart technology also enhances proactive
communication showing container overflow history, which can then be used to
pre-plan for hauling.
3. Training Facility Users
After installing new equipments, it’s vital to train
all users on proper usage and handling. Users are part and parcel of a waste
management program, so they should get trained and involved from the
onset.
Even before training, their ideas are vital for an
inclusive approach to an efficient waste management program. Facility
management staff highlights all the guidelines on how to use the equipments,
point out the risks, and explain the benefits.
Training users help in countering injuries, wrong
use, and support the goal of waste management programs.
Facility managers can also train users on all
energy-efficient waste management techniques. Training can involve lessons on techniques
to reduce waste from the sources, recycling and on sustainable waste management
4. Track and Monitor Progress
The facility management staff tracks sensor
performance over a predetermined period. During the tracking period,
facility managers collect and compile data, trace areas of improvement and correct
any gaps.
The monitoring period in facility management
services helps to understand the system and determine if it meets the users’
needs. The facility management team can restructure the system or improve it if
they find any gaps.
5. Report on Performance
Facility management services involve trust and
transparency. Facility managers must be open throughout to build trust. So, at
the end of the waste management program, facility managers update customers on
performance parameters.
The final report can include equipment
functionalities, power consumption, and cost. The result everyone expects is a
reduction of power costs and improved efficiency in waste management.
