FMA Summits - Connecting the Right People Since 2006
Post-Summit Report
FMA Summits’ Future Facilities Summit 6 was held October 17th
& 18th
at the
Doubletree Dallas Campbell Centre. This Report recaps the Summit.
More than 100 Corporate Directors of Sustainability, Continuous
Improvement, Supply Chain, Engineering and Facilities from Fortune 500 and
1000 companies across North America attended. They shared a common
purpose: to evaluate their best options for intelligent buildings, power
generation and facilities management.
Bringing together the right people and the right companies under one roof is
our hallmark. In two days of informative presentations, live product demos
and informal, one-on-one discussions between solution providers, a national
retailer identified potential partners to work synergistically in the overhaul of
its more than 1,000 showrooms. An operator of a chain of group homes for
severely disabled adults discovered cost-effective construction solutions to
improve the comfort and safety of its residents. All participants gained new
relationships they can leverage in their endeavors to increase operational
efficiency, reduce energy costs and improve overall building resiliency.

Key Topic Take-Aways
1
The architecture of the US electrical grid is in a time of tremendous
change: The 5 major trends currently driving the microgrid industry
and the keys to the functional and commercial viability of microgrid
applications in the private and public sectors.
2
Sustainable Construction & Materials: Focusing on energy reduction
and efficiency: Exploring alternative & sustainable materials, as well
as, proper recycling, reuse and management of waste materials and
Material life-cycle assessment
3
Building Envelope Solutions Make a Big Difference to Facility
Efficiency: Sustainable structural materials & building design can
affect overall efficiency; such as sustainable insulation, window &
sound solutions, air & water filtration, adhesives, paints & sealants.
4
Facility Management is Key: Building information modeling & facility
life-cycle assessment and management can achieve high levels of
operations efficiency; reduced maintenance costs, increased
environmental, health & safety specifications.
5
5
Energy Management & the Road to Efficiency: Proper energy usage
auditing can drastically reduce procurement costs, as well as,
visualize usage and areas of spend creating better energy
management for the overall building.

Building Automation is Priority: Visualizing building data through
analytics dashboards and software implementations i.e. BAS, CMMS,
BMS & IWMS programs and advanced metering improve overall
building operational efficiency.
Commercial Applications of Renewable Technology: How the
utilization of commercial solar, fuel-cell and water conservation
technologies can offset fossil fuel based energy usage and
procurement costs/spend.
Retrofitting Facilities is a Good First Step: Accessing capital financing
options to replace inefficiency systems to increase overall building
efficiency through LED lighting, HVAC equipment replacement, smart
metering solutions and moving towards renewable technology,
building automation or cloud based solutions.
Cyber Security: Developing an integrated and intelligent industrial
security immune system to detect, respond and recover from attacks
today and for tomorrow
“We have sponsored 6
FMA Summits and the
reason we keep
coming back is
because we've had
success in meeting
the right types of
people. We focus on
meeting with Directors
of Facilities and
Sustainability and we
found that FMA
delivers that.”
