ROI of 20X
In healthcare environments, reliability of facility power systems takes on an added degree of importance. If the power goes out, critical research and the lives of patients are potentially at risk.
What does it take to create Buildings of the Future?
Build new or modernise with innovative solutions and services that prioritise sustainability, resiliency, efficiency, and people — build it for life, today.
The Challenge
• Maintaining a power infrastructure that spans 5 million square feet (464,500 square metres) of hospital and healthcare research space with limited resources.
• Sending on-site staff to go out and physically measure, survey and perform preventive maintenance on over 26,000 pieces of equipment is costly and time intensive.
