These days, school districts face several challenges to maintaining energy-efficient facilities while also providing a safe and healthy learning environment. Among these challenges are:

• Constantly-changing student needs
• Security issues and compliance requirements
• Evolving technology and increased energy use
• Aging physical infrastructure and deferred maintenance needs
• Budgetary strain

Since education is a school district’s first priority, though, these facility challenges are often overlooked. Even when identified, they can be difficult to afford. However, we at McKinstry know there’s a great opportunity for school districts to simultaneously lower their utility bills and have more money available for teachers, students, and classrooms.

As with any environment, it’s impossible to make a change without first identifying and then finding solutions for the problem. In most cases, administration, occupants and operators are not taught what to do and how they can make a difference.  So how do schools waste energy and money?  How do they make changes to save?

At InfoCentre by McKinstry, we believe a work order service should WOW customers. Building owners, property managers, tenant coordinators, building engineers, and tenants deserve a great work order experience so they can focus on adding value to their businesses. That’s what InfoCentre promises: a work order service, not software, that puts customer satisfaction at its center. The property management industry has more than 20 different platforms for work orders and preventative maintenance, but InfoCentre is the only one with a service-based approach to help you deliver higher-touch service to your buildings and tenants while saving time on property management tasks.
