A team of energy cost reduction specialist and facility managers have created a solution for a lost time and money problem that exists for large building owners and managers. New energy programs and new technology require updated data collection and analysis to benefit from new opportunities. "Lost opportunity" dollars are left on the table due to inefficient use of data.

There is over 100 billion square feet of facility space in the commercial, industrial and institutional energy-market sector with an associated operational cost of over 300 billion dollars. Facility managers are expected to control and/or reduce operating cost. The energy market is highly volatile and unpredictable with soaring energy cost across the country. It's a challenge to operate efficiently while watching the bottom line.

Problem:

Several market drivers are forcing managers to deal with change in their worlds.

They are; Deregulation, the Internet and Convergence.

Deregulation gives managers a choice they never had, the internet allows access to information on all the many choices they have and convergence is this millenium’s movement towards bulk purchasing and aggregation for group buying.

Facility managers must run their buildings efficiently and are constantly in demand to attend to the daily operations required of them. Managers are not benefiting from many opportunities available in this changing marketplace. The challenge is; knowing what new programs, products or services are best for them and having the ability to utilize their facility data quickly and efficiently.

The "Your Faciltity CD" software, designed by business strategist and facility managers, mines, integrates and optimizes building data. The TheFacilityPlace.com web site utilizes the data to generate best price and practice solutions. The data is offered to providers of products and services in the facilities marketplace. Building owners, facility managers, product and service providers benefit from having this data.
