FACILITY LIFE CYCLE ROADMAP: YOUR COMPASS TO TRUE NORTH

2/4/25

In the built environment, operating budgets are often separated from capital planning budgets to help companies meet immediate operational needs while planning for future growth.

However, it can create gaps in visibility and divisive competition for funding, let
risks go unnoticed, and be self-limiting. These siloed budgets can deter investment in
energy savings and create missed opportunities to address monetary waste.
The best solution may be overlooked by individuals who are unaware of the scale of
inefficiencies, lack the data or financial acumen to convey needs and secure funding,
or have a bias against debt or facility investment. This can lead to decisions that
dismiss or avoid creative solutions and miss out on potential benefits. The key is to
widen the aperture beyond first-cost criteria and evaluate comprehensive models
that emphasize actual impact and leverage forward-looking solutions.
