The program: facility leaders come to hear how other facilities fixed it.

The program is built from projects facilities actually finished, presented by the facility and the company that did the work. Every facility software category has room for more. If you've solved a problem like these, your story belongs on this program.

  • Condition monitoringInvited

    Conemaugh Memorial Medical Center, Pennsylvania connects 156 patient rooms to its building controls in 5 days

    Wireless pneumatic thermostats replaced 156 pneumatic stats in 5 days with no above-ceiling work, at an average installed cost of $1,100 per room versus $3,600 for a conventional retrofit; total annual savings of $36,992 for the 128-room P Building and a 2.9-year payback with utility rebates (estimated) (as reported by Cypress Envirosystems and LP3 Solutions, April 2025)

    The problem: Pneumatic room thermostats in the 540-bed Johnstown trauma center gave the building automation system no feedback, so air handlers ran at maximum airflow, and a conventional retrofit meant above-ceiling work in patient wings.

    Published result: Wireless pneumatic thermostats replaced 156 pneumatic stats in 5 days with no above-ceiling work, at an average installed cost of $1,100 per room versus $3,600 for a conventional retrofit; total annual savings of $36,992 for the 128-room P Building and a 2.9-year payback with utility rebates (estimated) (as reported by Cypress Envirosystems and LP3 Solutions, April 2025)

    University of Kentucky, Kentucky avoids about $8 million in construction by measuring real space demand

    Occupancy data from a pilot that began in fall 2024 supported a 2% expansion instead; the 5% reduction translated to approximately $8M in avoided construction costs (estimated) and $127K in annual operational savings, plus a 30% boost in custodial efficiency (as reported by CampusIQ)

    The problem: Making room for a hospital expansion meant relocating a college and demolishing academic buildings, and early discussions assumed a 7% space increase was needed.

      The problem: With 10.2 million sq ft from dorms to research labs, MIT's traditional alarms couldn't scale or prioritize issues, so maintenance stayed reactive.

      Waco ISD, Texas uses facility condition data to win a $355 million bond

      With Asset Essentials and Origin capital planning, the district secured a $355 million bond to replace five school buildings, raised an insurance settlement after a fire from a $14 million initial offer to $22 million, grew the annual facilities budget from $500K to $3M, raised proactive work orders from 4% to 52% of the total and reached 87% work order completion within 0–7 days (as reported by Siemens, formerly Brightly Software)

      The problem: Paper work orders and no reliable asset condition data left the 34-building, 2.9 million sq ft district without the facts to justify bonds, budgets and staffing.

      After condition assessments on all city buildings and cataloging 10,000 assets in its asset management software, the city requested $25 million a year for deferred maintenance and received an additional $50 million per year for five years (as reported by Siemens, formerly Brightly Software)

      The problem: Pen-and-paper methods and a fragmented view of its assets kept the city making costly reactive decisions.
