Propane power generation: reliable equipment options for a less reliable grid
The escalating cost of reactive maintenance: A framework for modern facilities
IFMA’s FMJ Magazine
Across health care systems, municipal infrastructure and commercial building portfolios, equipment failure rarely begins as a dramatic breakdown. It begins quietly. A pump bearing vibrates slightly outside normal range. A supply line develops a slow leak behind a wall. Temperature in an electrical room drifts a few degrees above optimal levels. Pressure in a mechanical system fluctuates during peak demand. These early indicators often go unnoticed until failure becomes visible, audible or disruptive. Predictive equipment monitoring interrupts this cycle by shifting the focus from response to early detection.
How Shanghai reduces faecal bacteria presence in hotels to less than 1%
South China Morning Post
When it comes to hotel rooms, “luxury” does not necessarily mean clean and hygienic. A number of studies have shown that light switches and television remote controls are among the objects with the highest levels of bacterial contamination, while toilets and bathroom sinks also contain high levels of microbial organisms.
The rise of hotel-branded apartments
Multi-Housing News
In luxury residential development, the line between home and hospitality is becoming increasingly blurred. Once a niche offering, hotel-branded residences are gaining traction across key markets in the country as developers and hotel brands increasingly pair private ownership with operational expertise, creating a model that benefits both sides.
Design, data and behavior: The real drivers of water-efficient restroom fixtures
FacilitiesNet
As facilities push to reduce water consumption, sensor-operated restroom fixtures offer a compelling path forward — but performance in the field is far from automatic. While today’s touchless technologies promise lower usage, improved hygiene and smarter controls, improper installation, poor system design and inconsistent user behavior can quickly undermine those benefits through false activations and unnecessary water waste.
Your elevator spec is already outdated — here’s why it matters
Buildings
Elevators are among one of the most mission-critical building systems, and yet the specifications that govern them often lag far behind what modern technology makes possible. Too often, they’re treated as boilerplate, standard language copied from previous projects. But in today’s digital age, that approach leads to missed opportunities for performance, unnecessary costs, and slower timelines during construction.
