The next challenge for BEMS: scaling growth and project delivery in a skills-constrained market
BEMS project organisations are faced with the growing challenge of an ageing workforce and a shortage of younger, skilled workers entering the field. How can project organisations increase productivity without having to find new skilled employees? and does technology play a role in this?
Participants will learn how modern building technology can help address two of the industry’s biggest challenges: accelerating the energy transition while overcoming the growing shortage of skilled engineering resource. The session will explore how technology can improve both building performance and project delivery efficiency.
