Tech Vendor Due Diligence on Energy, Water & Waste Building Management System (BMS)
Client Challenge
A global consumer goods company partnered with OnePointFive to transform its Building Management System (BMS) capabilities across its 400+ U.S. facilities. The company needed to track and control energy use, water consumption, and waste management as part of its larger initiative to reduce its facilities’ environmental impact. OnePointFive provided guidance to assess BMS requirements, evaluate leading vendors, and estimate costs for a more sustainable and efficient operation.
