CMMS (or) CAFM (or) IWMS (or) EAM?

Friday, September 24th, 2010

Make the right choice!!

You might want to deploy the best of the best and the most sophisticated tool in order to manage your facilities. So you might opt for an expensive EAM as you can afford it or you might seek for a sophisticated IWMS but not so easy to deploy or use.

So its intelligent to make a choice based on “what you NEED?” and NOT based on “what you WANT?”.

Friday, August 14th, 2009

I am glad to share info on energy consumption in my very first post.

If you take a close-up look at your facilities, you’ll discover that energy is being wasted in ways you didn’t realize.

Nice post on this by Leah B.Garris, though its a old one but still will be useful for us to follow and save energy. I have listed the

11 points below, for details you can visit the www.buildings.com/ArticleDetails/tabid/3321/ArticleID/5656/Default.aspx  

  • Leaving Electronics & Appliances turned on
  • Dirty Filters
  • Dripping Faucets
  • Unnecessary Vending Machine Cooling & Lighting
  • Cleaning at Night
  • Dirty Windows and Skylights
  • Not Optimizing Equipment Startup Time & Sequencing
  • Thermostat mounted in wrong locations
  • Exhaust Fans that run all the time
  • Covering up vents, grilles etc
  • Incandescent exit signs

Anything more to add to the list?
