In the June 2011 edition of Buildings magazine, Associate Editor, Janelle Penny, discusses how the use of dashboards—in this case, energy tracking dashboards—provide FM personnel a broad view of their portfolios’ activity ("Dashboards Put FMs in the Driver's Seat"). This bird’s eye view aids building managers in the task of quantifying the progress of facilities-related initiatives.
According to Penny, "A dashboard can play many roles, but in a nutshell, the tool allows you to compare usage between campuses, floors, and departments to spot inefficiencies or drive competition…" Furthermore, increased access to IWMS dashboards can help move along building initiatives by demonstrating to occupants their current rates of success and can foster a healthy dose of competition between occupants or company departments in achieving their organization-wide energy consumption/green goals.
It is not only in the world of energy usage tracking where IWMS dashboards can play a major role in achieving FM goals, dashboard tiles can be configured to demonstrate many facilities or real estate-related metrics. Dashboards that monitor critical requests, service provider performance, and overall building activity have become the cornerstone of IWMS technology and look to grow in importance as the integration of smart building solutions and IWMS software continues to advance in both the amount of data that can be presented and multitude ways it can be structured to suit an organizations needs and goals.
