HOW WILL AUTOMATED BUILDING ANALYTICS IMPACT YOU AS A FACILITY MANAGER?

If you’re a facility manager in Australia, you’re no stranger to the challenges of rising costs, ageing equipment, and the pressure to improve building performance. Whether it’s an underperforming HVAC system in the office tower or inefficiencies in your campus-wide air conditioning, the question remains: where do you begin?

You might spend hours digging through Building Management System (BMS) logs, trying to identify patterns, but there’s a better way. By adopting a building analytics solution from Asset Assess, you can automate data collection and analysis, transforming how you manage your facilities. This means you can focus on delivering real results – from cost reductions to improved indoor air quality – while ensuring the comfort and satisfaction of occupants.

At Asset Assess, we’re passionate about helping Australian property portfolios turn raw data into prioritised actions using our advanced platform. With our solution, you can take a more proactive approach, boosting your value to your organisation while making maintenance more efficient.

Here’s how automated building analytics improves day-to-day facility management:

AUTOMATED DIAGNOSTICS

Diagnostics are key to identifying what needs fixing and why. Unlike the alerts generated by a typical BMS, our platform goes further by connecting multiple data points to pinpoint the root cause of issues and prioritise them based on urgency and impact. With HVAC systems generating massive amounts of data daily, automated diagnostics from Asset Assess saves time, reduces manual effort, and ensures you stay ahead of potential breakdowns.

PRIORITISED INSIGHTS

Not only does the Asset Assess platform streamline diagnostics, but it also prioritises issues based on energy savings, cost implications, and comfort levels. This allows facility managers to focus on the most critical tasks first.

Take, for example, an Australian commercial building portfolio: By analysing HVAC data across several properties, our platform can identify which systems are operating inefficiently, helping the team prioritise repairs or upgrades that will have the greatest impact. In practice, this has allowed businesses to not only extend the life of their equipment but also reduce energy consumption and operating costs.

PERFORMANCE REPORTING

With the heavy lifting of diagnostics and prioritisation handled automatically, your focus can shift to strategic improvements. Asset Assess provides robust performance reporting tools, enabling you to track key metrics such as energy efficiency, cost reductions, and system performance.

Facility managers can finally answer critical questions, such as:

• How has energy consumption changed year-on-year?
• Which operational changes had the biggest impact on energy savings?
• How have proactive maintenance efforts improved occupant comfort and reduced mechanical wear?

With these insights at your fingertips, reporting to management or stakeholders becomes simple, and it’s easier to demonstrate the tangible benefits of optimised building performance – from reduced carbon footprints to qualifying for energy-saving incentive programs.

A PROACTIVE APPROACH TO BUILDING PERFORMANCE

Every property portfolio is unique, but the challenges facility managers face are similar across the board. With fewer resources and the need for quicker responses, adopting automated building analytics from Asset Assess can make a world of difference. Our platform empowers you to move from reactive maintenance to proactive management, reducing operational costs while maximising building performance and occupant satisfaction.
