WHAT’S NEW? LCC CLEANS WITHOUT


CHLORINE LCC Support Services, the independent national service provider has taken another major step forward in its campaign to preserve the environment.


Following extensive trials LCC is installing Lotus Pro aqueous ozone (AO) systems into the cleaning rooms of many of its larger client sites thus enabling its staff to provide more hygienic and effective cleaning.


Lotus Pro takes mains water and introduces an extra oxygen atom to an oxygen molecule and water molecules. This creates a highly efficient natural cleaning agent that breaks down dirt, grease and other contaminants without any toxic solutions.


TOMORROW’S W’S MENT TODAY


When used as a sanitiser or disinfectant, AO is a broad range anti-microbial agent that works faster and more effectively against pathogens that chlorine bleach, but without the fumes and toxic residues.


Regardless of size of building, only one AO unit needs installing in the cleaning cupboard to enable staff a source of aqueous ozone for a wide range of cleaning tasks.


improved ‘Building Intelligence’ and the better use of data can help facilities managers to optimise resources.


Big data presents an opportunity for the industry, not only when it comes to delivering cost savings, but also to informing and improving productivity. By harnessing data effectively, facilities managers are able to maximise their property assets and ensure they are getting the best results from their supply chain.


FM providers are finding the scope of their responsibilities growing exponentially as clients demand that the range of their role increase. This is leading to increased pressures on costs and resources, meaning facilities managers are having to operate more strategically to improve efficiencies.

The Internet of Things, the current buzz word used to describe a network of objects able to electronically exchange data with the manufacturer or operator, offers the industry a number of opportunities to do just this. For example, introducing simple changes such as chip-enabled hand dryers in bathrooms enables FM providers to better measure how frequently these are utilised. In using this built environment information, facilities managers are able to determine how often and at what times such areas need to be cleaned, as well as identifying how many cleaners are required.


Building Intelligence uses multiple sources of built environment information and numerous other data streams such as financial,


Lorraine Larman, LCC’s Safety and Training Manager said: “This system is amazing. We recently found that AO would remove carpet stains that no chemical could handle. It is brilliant for use in hospitals, stadia, shopping centres and heavy user washrooms to sanitise toilet seats.”


Lotus Pro is fully tested and exceeds Green Seal Environmental Standards (GS-037) as an industrial cleaner. Testing by the Toxics Use Reduction Institute (TURI) scored 50/50 for cleaning power and ‘green benefits’.


This unit is a powerful sanitiser and will kill 99.99% of bacteria and viruses including Salmonella, Streptococcus Faecalis, Norovirus and Hepetitus A.

facilities, workspace, compliance and energy. Asset replacement is another area where data can be used to improve efficiencies. Adopting a more joined up approach and integrating data from different areas within the business enables facilities managers to have a more comprehensive overview of projects taking place across multiple premises. Using data successfully identifies clashes in scheduled activity, for example between an asset replacement programme and planned refit works, which may not have been recognised otherwise.


Through a more coordinated approach facilities managers are able to instigate an increasingly effective maintenance and replacement programme. Clashes are a common problem for facilities managers, and in tackling this effectively, significant cost savings can be identified.


It’s clear that the use of big data analytics presents a number of opportunities for facilities managers to operate more strategically. Yet, the key to success will be ensuring this information is both easily accessible and interpretable, and the increased use of Building Intelligence can support facilities managers in doing just that.
