Stewart McGillivray looks at whether closed system remote monitoring should be viewed as a 'pre-incident risk avoidance system, or post-incident action alert system', and explains how monitoring of this type could be incorporated into the Building Management System. #closedloop #corrosionmonitoring #facilitiesmanagement #buildingmanagementsystems #watertreatment https://lnkd.in/gTMB34Eh

Stewart McGillivray looks at the changing face of the UK's commercial buildings in a post-pandemic world, in Facilities Management Journal (FMJ). In the article, Stewart examines how hybrid working has changed the office environment, and how the management of HVAC systems has to adjust to ensure safety and reliability. #hvacsystems #hvacmaintenance #hybridwork #legionella #watertreatment #facilitiesmanagement #closedloop #corrosionmonitoring https://lnkd.in/euxX3YHS

It's National Apprenticeship Week, a great opportunity to celebrate this excellent vocational route into a rewarding career. Here at Guardian Water Treatment we've always been big supporters of the apprenticeship programme. Apprenticeships play a pivotal role in fostering talent, nurturing skills, and providing individuals with hands-on experience essential for their professional development. In our latest blog we hear from three of our current apprentices, Millie Donn, Sophie Passfield and Isabel Edbrook. https://lnkd.in/eaYpP8ad #apprentices #nationalapprenticeshipweek #apprenticeships #careerdevelopment #vocationaltraining

Working from home remains a popular trend in a post-pandemic era. Recent data from Leesman shows that 74% of UK employees plan to be in the office two or fewer days a week, with Monday and Friday being particularly quiet. What this means is that many commercial buildings remain underused, which can impact #Legionella risk. #HVACmaintenance regimes should also be adjusted to the change. In our latest blog, we look at the steps FMs must review if buildings are left dormant, or in the event of changes to occupancy and/or usage: https://lnkd.in/e7B-9VWN #acopl8 #legionellariskassessment #realtimemonitoring #corrosionmonitoring #closedloop #facilitiesmanagement

In our latest blog, we go through the steps building managers need to consider when upgrading their existing fossil fuel heating system to a heat pump.
