Weekly insights from live operations, vendor evaluations, and market analysis.
Most condition-based maintenance programs die not because the technology failed, but because the workflow was never touched. Here is the failure pattern FM practitioners keep rediscovering — and what integrated building intelligence actually looks…
AI agents querying building data used to require custom integrations for every data source. In 2026, a shared protocol eliminated that problem. Here is what changed and why it matters for FM and CRE operators.
For a decade, smart building pilots produced impressive slide decks and modest energy savings. In March 2026, something changed. Here is what shifted — and what FM leaders need to do before their peers figure it out.

By Robin Chien | IPMVP-Certified | 15+ Years Managing $1.2B in Commercial Real Estate Local Law 97 fines are not theoretical. They started in 2024. Every building over 25,000 square feet in New York City that exceeds its greenhouse gas emissions cap…
By Robin Chien | IPMVP-Certified | 15+ Years Managing $1.2B in Commercial Real Estate Vendor dashboards are marketing tools, not evidence. I say this as someone who has deployed 15+ AI-HVAC systems and reviewed dozens of vendor performance reports.
By Robin Chien | IPMVP-Certified | 15+ Years Managing $1.2B in Commercial Real Estate The most counterintuitive lesson from 10,000+ building deployments has nothing to do with algorithms, machine learning, or control theory. It is about connectivity.
The AI-HVAC ROI math worked end-to-end, assumptions visible — an illustrative estimate, not a guarantee.
