Why Technology Holds the Key to Facilities Management’s Net-Zero Future
Facilities management is at a tipping point. Faced with increasing pressure to support clients in achieving net-zero targets, the sector is moving rapidly towards a digital-first, AI-enabled model. But there’s a catch: many facilities managers still don’t have the tools they need to deliver meaningful change at scale.
The challenge isn’t motivation. FM teams are actively looking to lead on decarbonisation, but legacy systems and siloed data are holding them back. Without real-time access to granular energy data, it’s impossible to track savings accurately, manage compliance risks, or demonstrate progress against SECR, MEES, and ESOS obligations.
This is where advanced digital solutions come into their own.
By embracing platforms that offer AI-powered analytics, automated reporting, and virtual energy audits, FM providers can move from reactive, one-time consultancy services to scalable, annual recurring revenue (ARR) models. With the right technology, energy services become a driver of growth, not just a cost centre, transforming traditional TPI contracts into high-value, decarbonisation-led partnerships.
arbnco technology is making it easier for facilities managers to take practical steps toward net-zero. From reducing EPC related risk to delivering costed retrofit strategies across entire portfolios, our platform equips FM teams with the data and tools they need to support their clients’ decarbonisation goals.
