Without a doubt, managing energy costs while driving sustainability and efficiency is one of the biggest power management challenges that facility professionals face today. While advances in technology are making building power management and electrical maintenance more efficient, there are new obstacles that come along with these improvements. For example, one of the biggest trends impacting power management in a facility is the growth of complex electrical networks that operate hybrid power generation models like solar. In the past, every building was designed the same way from an electrical perspective, with the primary power source coming directly from the electrical…

It’s a future where nothing goes to waste and the mountain of electronics discarded every year (more than 57 million tons, globally, to be exact) is dramatically reduced. Not only is technology dematerialized, but the materials we use fuel a robust circular economy. Thereby reducing the need for new, raw materials. A…
