IREP’s Head of Assets & Energy Management, John Weber, recently joined The Measure Podcast by Metrikus where he discussed all things building efficiency and why making facilities management more data driven is essential for the success of the industry.

The main talking points in the podcast included:

• The role Facilities Management plays in driving efficiencies within buildings
• The role of digitalization of buildings and technologies
• Future challenges for FM companies and Facilities Managers
• How the industry is adapting to change
• The benefits of automating FM processes
