Data Centres are among the most energy inefficient buildings on the planet - using 10-50 times the energy per sq.m of a typical office building. In Ireland 1/5 of all electricity consumed in the country is now from Data Centres. There have been restrictions on the building of new Data Centres since 2022. Microsoft are building a gas fired power plant to support two new DCs in Dublin - coupled with 21 diesel generators - to allow them to go off grid as needed. #netzero #sustainability #energyefficiency #datacentres #ai #construction #carbonemissions https://lnkd.in/e9mZHhnz

Arguably one of the most important ways in attracting and retaining new talent into the Facilities Management profession is to see these individuals recognised. If you can see it, you can be it. The next generation has so much to offer, as evidenced by previous winners of the Premises & Facilities Management Leader of the Year award. If you know of anyone under 35 who deserves this award, follow the link below. If you don't know anyone, then consider supporting or mentoring younger talent in your own organisation. #facilitiesmanagement #awards #leadership #recruitment #nextgeneration https://lnkd.in/gEmbXsDQ

Just when you thought HR was under threat from new technology, it turns out that AI virtual assistants may also need employee records, inductions and regular training….just like flesh and blood workers. Why not give them a desk and a parking space too…. #facilitiesmanagement #fm #workplace #office #hr #recruitment
Today, Lattice made history to become the first company to lead in the responsible employment of AI “digital workers” by creating a digital employee record to govern them with transparency and accountability. The idea of AI employees, or “digital workers,'' is not an entirely comfortable one esp as we seem them being personified. The inevitable arrival of these digital workers raises important questions about their integration, measurement, and impact on human jobs. And many of those questions are without clear answers or precedence. Within Lattice's people platform, “digital workers” will be securely onboarded, trained, and assigned goals, performance metrics, appropriate systems access, and even an accountable manager. We know this process will raise a lot of questions and we don’t yet have all the answers, but we want to help our customers find them. And we want to bring everyone along on this journey with us. I am so proud to be working with the incredible Lattice team, the vibrant Lattice customer community, and some of the leading brands in AI to lead the way in the responsible employment of AI. More soon…

Could you condense 5 days of work into a 4 day working week? In the largest public sector trial conducted to date, the results seem positive . Can you do 100% of your work in 80% of the time if you know you will get an additional day off? Well, yes it would seem so. We may need to rethink the whole industrialised concept of the ‘weekend’ at this rate. #facilitiesmanagement #4dayweek #jobs #workingfromhome #publicsector
In the largest public sector trial of the four-day week in Britain, fewer refuse collectors quit and there were faster planning decisions, more rapid benefits processing and quicker call answering, independent research has found. #fourdayweek #publicsector #worklifebalance #jobsatisfaction

A change of Governent over night, plus hundreds of new MPs and support staff to accommodate over the next few days. Kudos to the #FacilitiesManagement personnel on all sides for their planning and efforts in such a short space of time. #workplace #facilitiesmanagement #facilitymanagement #transformation #government #projectmanagement
Setting up all 650 Members in their offices takes time. In the meantime, hot-desking spaces and lockers are provided so Members can start helping their constituents immediately.🔧

The changing climate is having a material impact on the economy, on business, on the built environment and on all of our lives. But do we really see the impact? The climate is like an invisible thread running through our economy, influencing everything from inflation, to insurance premiums, to healthcare and to energy usage. @equans new partnership with @Climate X is designed to quantify, at an asset level, the probability and severity of climate events decades before they happen, and find solutions to help organisations become more resilient. By making climate change ‘real’, we can address it appropriately, and maybe just help improve things for the better. #EquansUK #ProudToMakeItReal #Sustainability #Workplace #NetZero #FacilitiesManagement #BuiltEnvironment #Climate #ClimateChange #ClimateX #Resilience #EmpoweringTransitions
New partnership announcement 📢 We’re pleased to announce our partnership with Climate X, an innovative climate technology analytics company, to help organisations across the built environment become more resilient to the impacts of climate change. Adapting buildings and infrastructure is becoming a critical priority for UK organisations as the UK experiences extreme weather events more frequently. With this new partnership, building and infrastructure owners across the public and private sectors will benefit from Climate X’s advanced analytics software and our expertise across facilities management, regeneration and engineering. See more below and read the full press release in the comments. ⬇️ Lukky A. #Partnership #ClimateX #ClimateAdaptation #EmpoweringTransitions

In the mid-19th century an economist named William Stanley Jevons noticed that improved steam engine efficiency resulted in HIGHER coal consumption rather than conservation. Essentially, as the efficiency of steam engines increased, their usage expanded, offsetting any energy gains made. The ‘Jevons Paradox’ can be seen in the recent growth of LED lighting which consume less power individually, but the wider proliferation of LED lighting (more Christmas tree lights anyone?) means the contribution of lighting to global energy usage has barely changed. Now, we have more and more efficient data centres supporting a new generation of powerful computer chips. But any efficiency gains are being annihilated by a massive demand for AI powered support solutions. Which will give first? Our energy reserves, or our climate.... #netzero #energy #sustainability #ai #artificalintelligence #carbonemissions https://lnkd.in/etGybS57
Can the climate survive the insatiable energy demands of the AI arms race?

I can't say that I have ever been THIS frustrated...still, maybe the office should allow a place for people to 'vent'...not just a well ventilated workplace. What's next for Facilities Management though?
