The wireless interaction between building devices on the Internet has never been easier to achieve. Such interaction of networked components yields essential FM data, but it also provides cyber criminals with the ability to attack an organization’s enterprise network. Such cyberattacks are occurring with increased frequency – it is no longer a question of if your facility’s control systems will undergo a cyberattack, but when. This webinar will consist of a panel of two major IWMS vendors discussing how they address a number of cyber security issues related to market segmentation, technology, integration, resilience, vendor responsibilities and focus, and future trends. Following an introduction by the panel moderator on the current state of cybercrime/security best practices, the panelists will discuss their company’s status, approach to the issues above, followed by questions from the attendees

Panelists:

Eric Teicholz, IFMA Fellow, President, Graphic Systems, Inc.

John McGee, IFMA Fellow, President, Archibus

Erik Jaspers, Product Strategy & Innovation Officer, Planon

PLEASE NOTE: There has been a date change for this webinar from November 28^th to December 11^th.

There are numerous factors related to environment, workplace, social and managerial interactions that impact wellness and well-being.  This webinar will home in on the aspects related to physical space.  While all of the above interactions are important, if done poorly, physical space is the hardest and most costly to correct.

Ever have an idea for an improvement project at your facilities, but it gets derailed if the owner can’t fund the investment? Maybe the HVAC system needs replacement, or the water fixtures are leaking and inefficient. The roofs are aging and need replacement or resealing. Tenants are changing over and it’s time to spruce up the space, replacing windows and insulation, even switching to LED lights. These measures come at a cost, but not if you are savvy in how you finance them.

Join us for an insider’s look at the Better Buildings Challenge SWAP program, presented by DOE Senior Program Advisor Maria T. Vargas and hosted by the IFMA Environmental Stewardship, Utilities & Sustainability (ESUS) Community. A cornerstone of the Better Buildings Challenge is recognizing DOE partners for their leadership and sharing their successful energy saving strategies. The SWAP is DOE’s way of continuing to do that in a true behind-the-scenes setting to better showcase how energy savings are achieved, from planning to implementation. This as a unique way to spur inter-industry collaboration, and allow DOE partners, who work across a broad set of sectors, to learn from one another in a way they wouldn’t be able to otherwise.

The SWAP is an engaging way to illuminate and personalize the search for energy efficiency opportunities. The behind-the-scenes reality TV format showcases how energy savings are achieved, from planning to implementation. The SWAP demonstrates that even the most energy efficient buildings can improve and that ideas can come from all different building owners and types. DOE believes that SWAP is a way to make inter-industry collaboration, learning, and sharing ideas fun. Our partners demonstrate that organizations can learn from others in a way they wouldn’t be able to otherwise.

The goal of the SWAP is to demonstrate the unique collaboration between Better Buildings Challenge partners is a valuable way to continue to achieve savings through energy efficiency. It provides a unique, first-hand look into the technology and strategies that leading energy management teams are employing today, and raises awareness around the savings possible through increased energy efficiency.
