🎙️The latest Facilities Unfiltered podcast is out now!🎙️
HVAC is everywhere in facilities—and getting it wrong gets expensive fast.
On Facilities Unfiltered Ep. 19, Josh and Nic talk with Richard Boothman of Modine about what really matters in the field: why oversizing isn't the insurance policy you think it is, what under- and oversizing actually does to comfort and budgets, and how to think about redundancy and airflow instead of guessing BTUs.
They also dig into gas vs. electric vs. hydronic options, where heat pumps shine (and struggle), and the unglamorous maintenance wins—filters, coils, flues, and more.
What's the most common HVAC mistake you see in your buildings: oversizing, poor airflow, or skipped PM?

A 20-year tech "knew where everything was" — until they popped open an unmarked ceiling hatch and found a dead exhaust fan over a chemical lab. Belt snapped, motor blown, for who knows how long. It wasn't in any system, so it didn't exist.
Institutional knowledge is valuable, but it's not complete. And it doesn't survive retirement, turnover, or the day-to-day grind that keeps us from asking "what's behind that hatch?"
Asset inventory isn't sexy, but it's step one. Everything else — your PM program, your budget, your staffing plan — is built on top of it. And if the foundation has gaps you don't even know about, those plans are only as good as your luck.

🎙️The latest Facilities Unfiltered podcast is out now!🎙️
What's the number one thing every facility manager should know? FU hosts Josh and Nic went digging — through AI, Google, articles, job postings — and the answer was so obvious it actually caught them off guard. It wasn't PM strategy. It wasn't finding the right CMMS. It was asset inventory: know what you have and where it is. Sounds simple, right? And yet only 25–35% of FM job postings even mention it as a responsibility.
Join this week's slightly off-the-cuff podcast as Josh and Nic unpack why that gap exists, why most FMs skip that step, and the practical mindset shift in FM that makes everything else work.

Fire life safety takes up a tiny fraction of your building's square footage, but it carries a huge amount of weight when it comes to keeping your doors open and your people safe.
That's exactly why Mike Stratman of Firetrol says the biggest opportunity for FMs is also the simplest: build a real understanding of what it takes to maintain these systems. The equipment is small. The maintenance is code-driven and continual. And once it's dialed in, it quietly does its job in the background while everything else hums along: tenants occupying, manufacturing lines running, classrooms full.
Small footprint. Big payoff when it's done right.

If you're in maintenance and you're sitting behind a desk, the perceived value can be "Well, you're in maintenance. Why are you behind a desk?"
But the people who truly understand your facilities shouldn't always be turning wrenches. A little planning goes a long way. A little data helps you climb out of those trenches.

Every vendor says they have AI now. But a chatbot that summarizes work orders isn't the same as AI built into your workflows—trained to actually help you capture and maintain better data.
In the finale of our AI Across the Lifecycle series, AkitaBox product expert Dan Cooper joins Josh and Nic to break down what separates bolt-on AI from the real thing: what questions to ask vendors, why your data degrades faster than you think, and how native AI can help keep it accurate over time.
