The world is fast-changing. Artificial intelligence, automation, and robotics are infiltrating every sector of the supply chain in our “information world”. Over the next 30 years, the FM white collar jobs are more at risk to be automated than the FM expert associates. There is a movement to increase the value of FM services, by increasing their efficiency and effectiveness. The workers of the future who will not be automated, are FM professionals and expert associates who can identify and utilize expertise. These are the “FM Professionals and Expert Associates of the Future”. They must adapt to the new age of artificial intelligence, information systems and automation.


Dr. Dean proposes that identifying and utilizing expertise to cut cost and dominantly increase performance is the only way to secure their future positions. The way to do this is called the Best Value Approach. He proposes FMs need to increase their responsibilities and minimize their workload. The “FM Professionals and Expert Associates of the Future” is a different paradigm from the traditional FM professional. They will use simplicity instead of technical complexity and utilize the language of metrics to simplify. They affect the entire supply chain by bringing efficiency, simplicity, and transparency. The “FM Professionals and Expert Associates of the Future” must learn this new paradigm, vocabulary, and actions to be successful and sustainable in the future.


Learning Objectives


Learn the latest on artificial intelligence and automation trends of the future.


Learn how to:


Shift from a technical role to a leadership role and become part of the C-suite.


Reduce organizational costs up to 30%, while increasing the value and quality of services received.


Use performance information to ensure buy-in at all levels of an organization.


Increase impact on your organization, by minimizing the amount of info you need to know.

OVERVIEW


Building design engineers are now evaluating possible changes to improve the ability of these systems to deal with this new challenge and to reduce the risk of human infection to the building’s inhabitants. This course was designed for building owners, developers, architects, engineers and others concerned with the impact of buildings, building systems and design decisions on the health and wellbeing of the building occupants as we all grapple with the devastating impact of this health emergency.


The course will address specific steps that can be made in the design, implementation, operation and maintenance of building mechanical systems to decrease the risk of infection. The course describes the technologies available and science (engineering and virology) behind their effectiveness. The lecture will provide information regarding the impact of these measures on the virus as well as the pros and cons associated with each measure. The lecture will also include a discussion on energy, air quality and comfort implications associated with the various COVID-19 response strategies.


Rick Russell PE, LEED AP, CxA, CEM
Principal


Rick is a Principal with over 22 years of design and construction experience. He has engaged in design of sustainable engineering systems such as natural ventilation, radiant heating and cooling, vivarium system design, vav laboratories, lab heat decoupling, lab heat recovery, displacement ventilation, underfloor air distribution and chilled beams. He has also incorporated computational fluid dynamics (CFD) into his design in an effort to use the latest engineering tools to create highly sustainable buildings. Rick combines his knowledge of energy consumption, systems and costs to create designs that exceed client’s expectations for performance and efficiency.

Session Summary


In today's digital age, data collection and management are key for property and facility management markets─it separates the most successful organizations from the rest of the pack. Drone technology has now opened up a number of data collection opportunities that were previously logistically prohibitive or impossible. These services range from asset management and commercial infrared roof inspections to mapping and surveying, and we will address how these services, as well as drone implementation into your internal operations, will bring value. You will learn the credentials and certifications required for these aerial/drone services along with compliance and regulations. Learn about data driven roof management and what that specifically looks like with this technology- data collection, data visualization, data insight, data storage, data analytics. The history of infrared inspection protocol compared to this new technology and what the advantages are for facility managers will be addressed. Case studies will be presented on how these services have been used for property and facility management clientele, so you will have concrete examples of how this may help you. Drone integration is designed to enhance your existing processes and make them more efficient so that you can stretch your capital outlay as intelligently as possible.


Learning Objectives


Drone compliance, Regulations, Credentials, and Certifications required for these services Applications for Facility Management- Aerial Data Workflow, Drone Sensors, Infrared Inspections, Facility Management Applications and Case Studies, Intelligent Roof Maintenance, Data Analytics Operations Management- Drone Implementation into Internal Operations, Insurance, Organization Policy, Training, Drone Operation Challenges, Drone Platform Selections


Speaker Bio

Sean Muder is the President and CEO of Altitude UAS, an aerial data solutions company based in Wichita, KS that offers contract drone inspection and consulting services. Sean holds a Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Texas Arlington and is currently pursuing an MBA from Wichita State. He has held senior structural engineering positions at tier one aircraft manufacturers and has over 10 years FAA compliance experience. Sean is a Part 107 licensed commercial drone pilot and holds multiple certifications in infrared inspection. The recent advances in unmanned aerial systems over the last few years has inspired him to seek potential applications for the powerful technology. He is constantly pushing the envelope to offer value propositions to clients.



The design of corporate workspaces has never been so prescribed─until now. Finding new commonalities with healthcare brethren, the office setting is at once a potential source of contagion and a place of irreplaceable in-person connection. And yet the office, like the hospital before it, must move along with one significant change – an expanded boundary of risk. This presentation will explore existing models of health risk, the challenges associated with communicating risk, and propose a novel framework for building worker resiliency by making sense of spatial health risk.

Past President, IFMA East Bay
Programs Chair, IFMA Corporate Facilities Council





Wayne Whitzell with DFS Green has been on the front lines of this outbreak, having already disinfected hundreds of facilities in the past three weeks. Wayne and his team have consulted with leadership teams across the United States on their response to COVID-19 and have first-hand knowledge of the approaches that may be taken to mitigate the spread of the virus. Unfortunately, most FMs are unable to publicly discuss their organization’s particular efforts to combat the virus.


Wayne will offer different responses to the virus and provide FMs with the information to understand the disinfection process, which products and equipment should be used to disinfect, and how to avoid collateral issues from a PR and HR perspective.
