Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mentorship, Diversity, and the Future of FM | with Leah Ong
Q: What differences exist between FMs, PMs, and AMs, and how should organizations bridge these roles?
FMs should understand the life experience of property managers, and cross-train between roles so they can step into each other's shoes; regular cross-functional meetings help maintain alignment and preserve perspective on day-to-day operational realities.
Mentorship, Diversity, and the Future of FM | with Leah Ong
Q: How would you advise an FM who has never used AI before to get started?
Start by exploring a tool like GPT or another AI platform, experiment with structuring ideas, and use AI to generate templates or lease extracts; begin with simple, practical uses and expand as comfort grows.
Clean Air: Shining a Light on Indoor Air Quality with Zac Gilder
Q: What should facility managers consider when evaluating an IAQ upgrade like UVC in terms of ROI?
Managers should look at end-to-end performance: the design irradiance, coil and system specifications, end-of-life kill rate, and demonstrated before/after case studies. When done correctly, energy savings from restored heat transfer and better airflow combine with health and productivity benefits to produce a solid ROI, often within a couple of years.
Clean Air: Shining a Light on Indoor Air Quality with Zac Gilder
Q: Tell me how you got into indoor air quality and what sparked your interest in this field?
I started in energy efficiency decades ago, moving from heat pump projects to looking for ways to save energy. When I investigated further, I discovered IAQ's intersection with energy and health, especially around coil maintenance and biofilm; that combination showed both the problem and the path to practical, measurable improvements.
Values-Driven Facilities Management with Mark O’Connell
Q: What advice would you give to someone starting out in facilities management?
Find a role that aligns with your purpose, get involved in the industry, and cultivate a culture-focused mindset and willingness to grow beyond traditional FM boundaries.
