Modernizing building maintenance through data-driven services

Posted on by

Maintaining buildings would be easy if it weren’t for fluctuating temperatures, unforeseen damage, unsteady energy requirements, and ever-changing user behavior. To keep things simple, the University Properties of Finland (SYK), the company that owns and maintains the buildings of Tampere University with its more than 11,000 students, has completely rethought its approach to building maintenance. From static to dynamic. From periodic to demand-based. From visual to data-driven.

The Replacements – S04E36 – A Day in the Life of Facilities Maintenance

Posted on by

We had a brown-out (insert poop emoji here) in our Modular building, and the LED flat panel lighting didn’t like it at all! At the end of the day I ended up having to replace 6 of them.

Hi there, my name is Arne and if you’re new here, I perform facilities maintenance at a multi-campus K-12 school in Langley, BC. With nearly 1300 students and 200 staff, three schools and various other outbuildings, there’s always something to do.

I love my job; not only does the work I do benefit many, every day brings new challenges, which keeps me on my toes and in problem-solving mode.

Stay safe and be kind to one another!
