What are the trends in integrating technology into facility management?

The integration of technology into facility management, often known as PropTech (Property Technology), has been gaining significant momentum. A core trend is the adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) where devices and sensors within buildings collect data that can be used for optimizing energy usage, space utilization, and maintenance schedules. From smart lighting systems that adjust based on occupancy to predictive maintenance that forecasts equipment issues before they occur, IoT is transforming the efficiency and operation of facilities.

Another trend is the utilization of big data and analytics to inform strategic decision-making. By analyzing large data sets, facility managers can identify patterns, predict trends, and make more informed decisions about property management. This might include optimizing the tenant mix
