Current technologies offer ways to use big data to assess and prioritize facilities improvement opportunities and also allow users to visualize results. This presentation will demonstrate how energy engineers can “hear” what a building has to say and how to translate that data into actionable information that decision-makers can quickly comprehend. Attendees will first hear how to use "big data" techniques in determining where to identify potential opportunities for facilities improvement that can then be shared with decision-makers during the budgeting process. They also will learn how to use big data to demonstrate a return on investment once projects are underway that links to business outcomes and how to use big data to communicate the need for continued monitoring and tracking to help ensure optimal building and business performance.
