From Alerts to Action

Preventive maintenance is changing fast — with smarter buildings, more connected systems, and rising expectations to respond quickly when something goes wrong. In this webinar, David Trask (National Director at ARC Facilities and host of the Facility Voices podcast) shares real-world best practices he’s gathered from hundreds of conversations with facilities teams across the country.

Watch the on demand webinar and find out:

• What’s changing in facilities operations (AI, smart buildings, digitization, workforce shifts)
• Why “if it’s not easy, they won’t use it” matters for tech adoption in the field
• Calendar-based PM vs. data-driven PM (and where each works)
• Why alerts and sensors help — but don’t solve “where is it?” in the building
• How time gets lost searching for shutoffs, equipment, drawings, and parts
• Practical ways to document equipment locations, capture institutional knowledge, and improve response time
• How mobile access to building and equipment info supports PM execution, emergency response, and long-term planning

Q&A covers:

• Mapping shutoffs and equipment (and adding what you discover over time)
• Keeping as-builts current and filling documentation gaps
• Using building info during emergencies and for Facility Condition Assessments (FCAs)
• Considerations for leased spaces and shared responsibility
