OVERVIEW

This two-day workshop on AI-Driven Facilities Management is designed to provide participants with a practical understanding of how artificial intelligence is transforming modern FM practices. It bridges traditional facility management with emerging AI-enabled tools and decision-making approaches.

Participants will explore how AI supports key FM functions such as maintenance planning, reporting, energy management, vendor evaluation, and operational efficiency. The programme combines structured learning with case discussions and hands-on activities to ensure real-world application.

A key feature of the workshop is its practice-oriented approach, where participants will use generative AI tools to simulate FM tasks and develop simple AI assistants for daily operations. This enables direct experience of how AI can improve productivity, accuracy, and decision-making in FM.

By the end of the workshop, participants will have a clear understanding of AI applications in FM and the confidence to begin applying these tools within their own organisational context.
