Have you seen a facilities management spec? What is a facilities management spec? As a facilities manager, would you like to have a say in what your data deliverable is? As a contractor, would you like to focus your owner on what matters? What if the asset data was collected, organized, and usable before the facility opened? What if the preventative maintenance was scheduled and the maintenance records were accessible on a phone or tablet before day one? Our industry is producing some fantastic data, but owners are often left with none of it or an overwhelming, unusable amount of it. This class will focus on what a facilities team genuinely needs to maintain the building. We’ll give you the questions to ask in order to focus on the data facilities that technicians need, not the data we want to provide them with. We’ll also discuss the processes needed to achieve success.

As companies have adopted Autodesk Fusion 360 Manage software to handle their company's engineering data, how many other systems are you using to handle everything else? Is it just via email? If so, how’s the tracking? Are you paying for other systems additionally? At Owens Corning, we’ve taken the product lifecycle management (PLM) system and tailored it to meet the other areas of use in the office. This session will display the thoughts and concepts used to develop a robust system to be used for all aspects of a company, relating them to the projects that we work on.

It is estimated that 80% of the environmental impact is determined at the design phase. However, many designers lack the tools to assess the impact of their design choices. In addition, an increasing number of companies are setting up ambitious sustainability goals, but the data required to drive the actions are often in disparate systems throughout the organization, or kept in PLM (product lifecycle management) and PDM (product data management) systems, which means that designs are already locked up. Autodesk and Makersite collaborated to bring sustainability insights into early product-design phases by connecting relevant lifecycle assessment data to the Autodesk Fusion 360 Design workspace. We’ve created a more holistic workflow to provide even more insights into sustainable design, directly within the design environment. The analysis can also recommend material alternatives and provide costing information to help designers make more-sustainable decisions, faster, with greater impact.
