Facility Management

Facility management is the discipline of maintaining and operating a building's physical infrastructure, including energy systems, safety, and general upkeep.

Definition

Facility management covers the operational responsibility for a building's physical infrastructure — maintenance, safety compliance, space planning, and energy systems among them. Energy management is typically one component of a broader facility management remit rather than a standalone function.

Why It Matters

Facilities teams are often the operational owners who act on energy monitoring insights, making them a key audience for accessible, actionable energy data.
