problem for facility managers. Currently, many facility decisions are based on labour intensive manual methods_x000D_
for tracking resource decisions. Facility managers responsible for services such as custodial or scheduling, need_x000D_
decision-support systems that will streamline their ability to allocate resources. The business opportunity is_x000D_
significant in terms of reducing facility expenditures. The combined cost of security, administrative, janitorial_x000D_
and utilities costs represents a substantial burden to building managers and owners. A BOMA 2016 study_x000D_
revealed that the average facility operation cost is US$8.62 psf, and within their 900 million square feet survey_x000D_
for US and Canada, this cost exceeds US$74 billion. Sensible brings experience and expertise to connect_x000D_
occupant intensity and facility data, along with facility costing knowledge. SBS will leverage Professor_x000D_
Munzner's R&D capabilities to accelerate the design of visual decision-support tools which enable on-demand_x000D_
response for facility managers based on past, real-time, and predictive occupancy data., program purpose french : Sensible Building Science and Professor Tamara Munzner will collaborate to solve a new and pressing_x000D_
