The German Facility Management Association (gefma) has announced the creation of a new working group focused on building technology. The working group, named the Building Technology working group, is set to commence in August 2025 with an online kick-off meeting.

The Building Technology working group aims to provide concrete recommendations for everyday facility management (FM) and develop practical approaches and strategies for innovative and sustainable solutions in building technology. The group will focus on specific topics in building technology, including technical building equipment, energy optimization, smart building concepts, connected technologies, Building Information Modeling (BIM), IT-supported processes, and Computer-Aided Facility Management (CAFM).

The working group invites experts and practitioners from the relevant fields to participate. Persons invited to the founding of the working group include individuals from various backgrounds, although specific names or detailed criteria for invitation were not found in the available search results. The working group will collaborate with dedicated experts from the gefma network.

The exchange in the Building Technology working group aims to provide impetus for practical implementation of new developments in building technology. The strategies and approaches of the working group are intended to contribute to the field of building technology and provide solutions that can be applied in everyday FM.

The focus of the working group extends to smart building concepts and connected technologies, with the aim of promoting the use of these technologies in facility management. The creation of this working group indicates a growing emphasis on sustainable solutions in building technology within the gefma.

The establishment of this working group is an attempt to give more attention to building technology in facility management. The Building Technology working group will commence with an online kick-off meeting, and the exact date for the meeting will be communicated to participants. Interested parties are encouraged to join and contribute to the discussions and development of practical solutions for building technology.

The new working group is part of the facility management sector in Germany and is expected to make significant contributions to the field of building technology. The Building Technology working group will provide a platform for experts and practitioners to share their knowledge and collaborate on developing practical and sustainable solutions for building technology in facility management.
