Planon will present a thought-provoking presentation on how to use common building data to the facility manager's advantage. With today's trend towards the Internet Of Things, there are fundamental shifts in how buildings can produce data and how this data can be used. Not only can data influence the managers overseeing facilities themselves, but also in supporting the individuals working and living in them. In this presentation, facility managers  will learn the benefits of having smarter buildings, and what strategies are available for getting smart projects off the ground.

Erik Jaspers, strategy and innovation, is giving a presentation titled: Building Information Modeling (BIM for Real Estate & Facility Managers: Moving From Theory to Practice. BIM technology has reached the tipping point. More buildings are being designed in BIM than with Computer-Aided Drafting and we expect this process to accelerate in years to come. Now that facility managers are adopting BIM, we see potential impacts on all aspects of facility management. The session will delve into some important aspects of FM practice, including writing the BIM deliverable standard, understanding legal and contractual issues, addressing staff skills, and developing a true mindset of building life cycle management.
