Facility managers can help businesses meet sustainability objectives in several ways:
1) Facility managers can implement efficiency measures like energy monitoring, water conservation, and waste reduction to help lower operating costs while reducing environmental impact.
2) They can advise businesses on sustainability certifications and regulations to ensure compliance and open up funding opportunities.
3) Individual facility managers can make a difference by benchmarking building performance, introducing sustainable procurement policies, and engaging occupants in conservation efforts. Taking on sustainability initiatives helps facility managers expand their roles and skills.

Dean to review agenda and then to pass it to Annick.
I mentioned the phrase energy efficiency. Here's a tangible example of that. Buildings for so long have been constructed by people in companies who are in competition with other builders to make sure that the initial purchase price of that building is competitive and as cheap as they can get while keeping their margins acceptably high. And that's given them an incentive quite naturally to skimp on some things that traditionally weren't valued that highly in the market. But today, the person or company that buys that building or leases that building and then operates it, they have a huge incentive to reduce their expensive energy bills. And so, they wish that the buildings had been more efficient. So, the answer is to retrofit them. And when the energy bills go down, the win-win proposition, actually win-win-win, because you create the jobs, you reduce the pollution, and you reduce the cost of operating the building. That's a trifecta of winning, and we need to get with it.

ADDITIONAL TALKING POINTS:
The renewable energy sector puts millions to work – and opportunities are growing fast.
According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the renewable energy industry employed 11 million people worldwide in 2018, adding 700,000 jobs from 2017.[1*]
As of 2018, solar remains the largest employer with 3.6 million jobs, followed by biofuels (3.1 million), hydropower (2.1 million), and wind (1.2 million).[1*]
Offshore and onshore wind energy employed over 1.1 million people worldwide in 2018, up 1 percent from 2017.[1*]
The top-five countries for wind energy jobs are China, Germany, the United States, India, and the United Kingdom. Together, they represent 75 percent of all global wind energy jobs.[1*]
China, Brazil, the US, India, and the European Union have the most jobs in renewables. China alone accounted for nearly 40 percent of global renewable energy jobs in 2018.[1*]
Manufacturing and construction jobs in the US electricity generation industry are expected to keep growing in coming years, particularly for solar and wind projects.
In 2018, solar and wind were the top-two employers in the US electricity generation construction industry, providing about 177,000 and 37,000 jobs, respectively. Natural gas ranked third with around 10,000 jobs.[2*]
Between 2014 and 2019, solar employment grew five times faster than the US industry average. During this period, one in every 150 new jobs was a solar job.[3*]
According to Environmental Entrepreneurs (E2)’s Clean Jobs America report, in 2018, clean energy jobs outnumbered fossil fuel jobs in the US by nearly three to one.[4*]
“Solar installer” is projected to be the fastest-growing job in the US through 2028, and “wind turbine service technician” is second, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.[5*]
The renewable energy sector will continue to employ millions all the while furthering energy efficiency.
The transition to renewables is playing a critical role in supporting sustainable development, improving energy access, and promoting gender equity around the world.[1*]
The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates about $240 billion (USD) was invested in energy efficiency across buildings, transport, and industry sectors in 2018.[6*]
IRENA projects that in a business-as-usual scenario, energy efficiency would account for 16.2 million jobs in 2030 (almost a quarter of overall global energy sector jobs). However, IRENA also projects that with more ambitious climate action, efficiency could account for more than 25 million jobs (nearly 30 percent of energy sector employment).[7*]
The coronavirus pandemic has slowed renewable energy momentum, but not as much as in fossil fuels.
The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has upended all energy investment expectations, and 2020 is now set to see the largest decline in energy investment on record, a reduction of one-fifth – or almost $400 billion – in capital spending compared with 2019.[8*]
Fuel supply investments have been hit hardest in 2020 while utility-scale renewable power has been more resilient, but this crisis has touched every part of the energy sector.[8*]
As of May 2020, clean energy employment fell 18 percent since the onset of the pandemic, totaling over 620,000 lost jobs.[9*]

2020 brought historic change to many industries including our own. Many of us were asked by our customers to help them adapt and innovate in an environment that delivered both low occupancy issues for hotels and offices and high demand requirements for critical facilities.
But, even with the challenges we experienced, analysts are predicting that the building market will recover and grow. This is very welcome news. But the recent challenges have put a massive spotlight on buildings- and the electric and digital transformations that were already underway are moving into overdrive. Here’s why.
Annick
Thank you, Dean, and hello to everyone. Thank you for joining us today to discuss this important topic.
As we all know, 2020 brought historic change to many industries including our own. Many of us were asked by our customers to help them adapt and innovate in an environment that delivered both low occupancy issues for hotels and offices and high demand requirements for critical facilities, like hospitals.
But, even with the challenges we experienced, analysts are predicting that the building market will continue to grow. This is very welcome news.
But there are still big challenges ahead of us, ones that will force us to leverage the digital changes many us made for the pandemic to areas where we are failing as an industry. Let’s take a closer look.
There are four critical areas where the building industry must provide better outcomes, they include sustainability, resiliency, efficiency, and people-centricity. For today’s session, we are going to focus on the first challenge, sustainability.
As Dean mentioned, Sustainability and climate change will have a significant impact on all of us.
It is widely known that buildings are significant contributors worldwide in carbon emissions and costly waste.
Buildings consume about 30% of the world’s energy via their construction and operations, and account for almost 40% of annual global greenhouse gas emissions. The future of building construction and operations, both new and retrofit, is where the world will win or lose the fight against climate change. And as members of the building industry we must do our part to course correct what we are seeing.
And when we talk about sustainable buildings, what does success look like, what are we driving toward?
Sustainable buildings will lower their carbon emissions by 60% by 2040. They will run on renewable electricity and begin to influence the decarbonization of other industries. Some of you might be asking, how can we achieve this? The transformation has already begun and we have the tools to make this happen.
There are two trends that have opened the door for us to successfully deliver better more sustainable buildings and propel our industry to where it needs to be.
The first is digitization- With the Internet of Things, Big Data and Artificial Intelligence, we can completely digitize and connect all the systems inside a building and get the information we need to build a smarter and more sustainable future.
At the same time, electrification is driving a dramatic shift to more renewable sources for electrical generation. Electric builds a green future. The world is beginning to substitute electric technologies for combustion-fueled technologies particularly in areas like space and water heating.
This new all-digital, all-electric world gives us the foundation we need to create, and retrofit buildings, to be more sustainable.
Let’s look at a real-life example of this in practice. In our own East Asia & Japan headquarters, Kallang Pulse, our teams took on the ambitious goal of retrofitting a 25-year-old building and turning into a sustainable building.
The 9-storey building covers more than 18,000 square meters and houses over 1200 employees.
Our objective was to achieve 100% carbon neutrality by 2020 - 25% by design, 25% by operational efficiency, and the remaining 50% by switching to renewable energy.
To achieve this, Kallang Pulse has more than 5000 connected points across 1100 devices for monitoring, control and data analytics. Some examples are CCTVs, card access, power tags and workplace sensors.
We installed 80 solar panels which now covers close to half of the building’s monthly energy consumption of and the building runs on 100% renewable (solar) energy.
In addition to being more sustainable, we have improved well being and our employees are reporting that they are more satisfied with the air quality, the reduced stuffiness and odor, and the air movement.
Our facility teams at Kallang Pulse have played a major role in making all of this a reality. It is clear that the role of the facility manager in sustainability planning is critical to success. I am going to pass it over to Peter now who going to talk a little bit more about this transformation.
Peter
Thank you Annick. Annick just gave us a brief world view on what is happening in the building industry and the renewed focus on sustainability. I want to take a closer look at the role facility managers play in creating tomorrow’s sustainable buildings, today.
This audience is no stranger to the expanding role of the facility manager. In fact, I think it is safe to say that facility management plays a role in just about all areas of the building now. Let’s do a quick list here:
Of course, there is HVAC and power management, but we can also add security, IT infrastructure, space management, and the occupants experience.
So how can we consider even adding sustainability to that list? The reality is that we are already have the tools to be part of the sustainability solution thanks to the evolution of both building hardware and software.
Here is an example of a Sustainable Buildings Checklist from a U.S. Government Agency. When you look through the categories that have to be addressed when rating a building for sustainability, it is hard to imagine that the facility manager is not part of the planning process to address these items. Almost all of the areas listed on the checklist fall within the facility manager’s jurisdiction. There is an opportunity to elevate the role you play.

2020 brought historic change to many industries including Facility Management. Many of us were asked by our customers to help them adapt and innovate in an environment that delivered both low occupancy issues for hotels and offices and high demand requirements for critical facilities.
But, even with the challenges we experienced, analysts are predicting that the building market will recover and grow. This is very welcome news. But the recent challenges have put a massive spotlight on buildings- and the electric and digital transformations that were already underway are moving into overdrive. Here’s why.
Just like a car and the phones in our pockets, building hardware and software is changing constantly. Yes, our industry has been slow to adopt on the digital side in the past, but IoT, AI and Big Data is changing that quickly. Look at how much the standard building controls and management systems have changed with the influx of technology. The digital, connected world has turned our standard, standalone building devices into networked hubs of information that feed data into monitoring and analytical systems that in turn put all the information we need to drive more sustainable buildings at our fingertips. Let’s look at that more closely.
You can take a seat at the table and help define the strategy. Many if not all the physical systems and devices, like HVAC, Chillers, Boilers are the starting point. There you will leverage monitoring and analytics solutions to capture and transform the data from the devices into recommended actions. You can connect the right systems to analytical solutions to helps create insights that enable organizational goals. The analytical solutions can surface the right data to inform decisions on actions across systems and sites. And taking the right actions advances organization goals toward energy efficiency, carbon reduction, and operational optimization.
That is a very quick look at how advancements in hardware and software can enable facility managers to leverage many of their existing areas of jurisdiction to help achieve sustainability goals for their companies.
Linking the environmental impact to human performance is key – and especially the 9 foundations for a healthy building creased by Dr. Joe Allen from Harward provides a good framework.
