FM Software Basics
This software is used to schedule, track, and manage maintenance tasks.
What is a CMMS?
This maintenance strategy fixes equipment only after it breaks.
What is reactive maintenance?
These devices control HVAC and lighting based on occupancy.
What are occupancy sensors?
This type of energy is generated from the sun.
What is solar energy?
Digital 3D representations of facilities used for simulation.
What is a digital twin?
CMMS stands for this.
What is Computerized Maintenance Management System?
Predictive maintenance uses this type of data to forecast failures.
What is sensor or real-time equipment data?
BMS stands for this system used to monitor and control building systems.
What is Building Management System?
LEDs are energy-efficient replacements for this older lighting.
What are incandescent or fluorescent bulbs?
FM tech that uses robots for inspections or cleaning.
What are maintenance drones or service robots?
This type of software helps manage space allocation and occupancy.
What is CAFM (Computer-Aided Facility Management)?
These wireless sensors monitor real-time equipment conditions.
What are IoT (Internet of Things) sensors?
A smart meter tracks this utility in real time.
What is electricity (or energy use)?
This type of software monitors carbon emissions and energy use.
What is energy management software?
This type of reality tech allows technicians to see digital overlays.
What is augmented reality (AR)?
IWMS integrates multiple FM systems. What does IWMS stand for?
What is Integrated Workplace Management System?
This kind of digital model is used to simulate and monitor facility systems.
What is a digital twin?
These are systems that automatically adjust lighting based on natural light.
What are daylight harvesting systems?
LEED certification stands for this.
What is Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design?
This emerging tech secures data and automates contracts in FM.
What is blockchain?
Name one key difference between CMMS and IWMS.
What is that IWMS includes real estate, sustainability, and capital projects, while CMMS focuses on maintenance?
What is the advantage of using AI in predictive maintenance?
What is it reduces downtime and saves costs by forecasting failures early?
Name a sustainability benefit of smart building systems.
What is reduced energy consumption or lower carbon emissions?
What is demand response in energy management?
What is adjusting power usage during peak times to reduce grid stress?
How might digital twins revolutionize proactive maintenance?
Real-time monitoring and virtual testing of systems?
