“FMs need an accurate
understanding of an existing or new roof
structure to ensure it can take the weight of the plant and
support system.”
TEMPERATURES RISING
Health, wellbeing and employee comfort have become increasingly important factors for FMs to consider. The health and wellbeing of staff has been proven to have a significant impact on productivity and according to the Stoddart Review, happy workers are 12% more productive.

As we experience warmer summers, FMs are increasingly needing to upgrade and add to air conditioning (AC) systems to meet new cooling needs. Sam Birch, Technical Manager at Big Foot Systems explains how non-penetrative support frames for AC plants can offer a simple solution to extending AC on flat roofs.
With building temperature named as one of the key parameters for a healthy and productive workforce, FMs are set with a challenge. When it comes to cooling, FMs are now working with a moving target when considering occupier comfort since temperatures around the world are rising due to climate change. This meant that July was the hottest month ever recorded with the UK experiencing its highest temperature of 38.7°C
