Hello and welcome to the June issue of Tomorrow’s FM.
As the summer months approach, facilities managers face a crucial window of opportunity to carry out essential maintenance tasks that are often challenging to complete during the busier seasons. Warmer weather, extended daylight hours, and reduced occupancy in certain buildings provide ideal conditions for inspecting infrastructure, servicing HVAC systems, and addressing wear and tear accumulated over the year.
Proactive summer maintenance not only ensures operational efficiency and occupant safety but also helps prevent costly disruptions down the line. In this issue, we explore best practices, emerging technologies, and strategic planning tips to help you make the most of the summer maintenance season.
