  7. GenAI Adoption Is Rising, But Productivity Gains Remain Elusive: New research finds that while 31% of eligible employees are actively using generative AI, only about 5% are using it frequently and skillfully enough to achieve meaningful productivity gains—raising important questions for facility managers supporting increasingly tech-enabled workplaces. dlvr.it/TTzlLW #Buildings #Facilities #FacilityManagement

  9. Municipal Buildings 1980s/1990s

    Exterior view of the Hastings Municipal Buildings, from Heretaunga Street. These photographs are likely from the 1980s/1990s. Hutchinson's Furniture and Flooring signage and shop window visible.

    The building was designed by Albert Garnett and constructed in 1916 by Stanley Brothers. It housed the Hastings Borough (District) Council for many years, as well as being an entertainment and retail venue. The Heretaunga Street façade was badly damaged in the 1931 Hawkes Bay earthquake and was rebuilt.

  11. Back side of the Space Sciences Building with a 9mm lens -- I took my qualifying exam on the top floor of that building around 1994 or so (Yeah, I know, I gotta go someplace other than work!)

  16. "Cooling alone accounts for 40 per cent to 60 per cent of a commercial building’s total energy use in Singapore.

    Nearly 50 buildings in Singapore have adopted alternative cooling methods that safeguard workers’ comfort while reducing energy use.

    Alternative cooling technologies that do not rely solely on air-conditioning can reduce a building’s energy use for cooling by up to 48 per cent."

  22. Downtown Chicago Architecture

    I had an expected opportunity to visit a small part of downtown Chicago last week. I was impressed by how quiet it was, even on the afternoon of a work day. The streets were bustling with people, but the traffic was fairly limited (though there were a remarkable number of sirens). Another thing that really stood out was the architecture of the buildings. I know relatively little about architecture, but the buildings in Chicago (at least in the loop east of the river) all seemed more ornate […]
