Anticipating trends in building and facilities management is crucial for increased efficiency in an ever-changing environment. As we welcome another new year, let’s take a look at some of the key trends that are set to shape the industry in 2024. 

First and foremost, sustainability continues to be a priority within building and facility management. In 2024, we can expect an increased focus on eco-friendly practices, energy-efficient designs and the implementation of sustainable technologies.

The integration of smart technologies into facility management is likely to have further impact on how buildings run. We can expect more solutions such as energy optimisation and increased security measures to help streamline operations, enhance efficiency and reduce overall costs.

In response to increased health considerations in recent years, touchless technology will also become more popular in shared building spaces. Implementing automated access and touchless elevators for example can minimise physical contact points, prioritising the health of building tenants.

In 2024, building managers may find themselves tasked with increased questions of sustainability, technology, and health and safety measures in buildings. Staying informed and embracing such trends is crucial in creating more efficient facilities overall.
