The Reactive Maintenance Mindset Is Killing Your Bottom Line
In the hectic day-to-day of a facility manager, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" can seem like the best strategy to keep things moving. However, this seemingly pragmatic approach could be taking a substantial toll on your facility’s bottom line, both in terms of finances and safety. Outdated equipment such as lighting, HVAC systems, boiler chillers, or RTUS can turn into wasted energy pits; American commercial buildings waste 30% of their energy, losing billions in capital annually. LED systems, for example, use at least 75% less energy and last up to 25 times longer than incandescent lighting.
