Program Overview: What is Facilities Management and Smart Buildings?
Facilities Management & Smart Buildings is a 24-hour program for facilities managers, building engineers, and workplace teams modernizing how buildings run. It covers building systems, smart building technologies, BMS and IoT sensors, energy performance and fault detection, preventive maintenance with CMMS, and workplace experience. Participants work with the data their buildings already generate but rarely use.
Labs use realistic building scenarios and datasets. Participants configure BMS dashboards, run fault-detection routines on meter data, and build preventive maintenance schedules in CMMS workflows. Instructors with smart-building operations experience review each setup, pushing teams past dashboard decoration toward decisions that cut energy and downtime. The work builds from single systems to integrated operations, and the program ends with a capstone where each team produces a smart building operations playbook for a realistic facility.
Most buildings are run on routine and reaction: energy wasted invisibly, faults found by complaints, maintenance scheduled by calendar instead of condition. This program teaches data-driven operations. Teams learn to instrument, to detect, and to maintain by evidence, turning the building from a cost center into a managed asset.
The capstone playbook is a complete operations manual for a realistic smart facility: the BMS and sensor architecture, the fault-detection rules, the preventive maintenance program, the energy targets, and the vendor and space management rhythms. Reviewers test it against injected faults and budget constraints the way reality would. Teams return with a playbook they can adapt to their own buildings and the fluency to run them smarter.
Six modules and 24 hours: facilities management foundations and building systems, smart building technologies and BMS, IoT sensors and data integration, energy performance and fault detection, preventive maintenance and CMMS operations, workplace experience and vendor management. Every module pairs concepts with a guided lab, so each technique is practiced. It closes with a capstone where your team builds a complete smart building operations playbook for review.

Where this Training Fits in Your Team's learning path.
Facilities management starts from safety basics, because every building system your team runs carries health and safety duties. Once smart buildings are under control, the path makes them sustainable and then adds AI, so the data your building systems produce turns into better decisions on energy, space and maintenance.
