Next Edition
In next month’s issue, we present the results of
our annual waste and recycling survey carried
out by FMJ in partnership with Grundon Waste
Management, including comments by a panel
of client-side FMs. We take a look at how CAFM
can help us cope with COVID; from helping to run
buildings as e iciently as possible to managing
a mobile platform for field-based operations and
service procedures. With buildings no longer always
fully occupied, having remote, digital control of
emergency lighting - managed and maintained
across multiple sites can ensure regulatory
obligations are met. Plus; UV-C lighting can help
ensure a space is rigorously sanitised between
meetings to maintain the highest levels of hygiene,
crucial in preventing the spread of viruses.
