How fast the fire department can access your building during an emergency is paramount. But what if locked doors prevent them from doing their job? External safes maintain a fine balance between security and life safety code. The risk is real – multiple businesses and hotels have been burglarized because thieves simply unlocked doors with a key obtained from a poorly maintained safe.
The bar for facility efficiency gets ever higher, and the performance of your buildings' mechanical/electrical/plumbing (M|E|P) systems is the major determiner of that efficiency.
The Smart M|E|P Expo will provide you with tools to help you manage and upgrade your M|E|P systems efficiently. It will also help you to make profitable decisions about upfront costs vs. lifecycle costs—the evaluation that leads to smart M|E|P systems.
This virtual event will be held live on July 26th, and is scheduled to go on-demand following the show.
