    This new survey gives an insider’s view to the getting back indoors – and what positive changes might happen for those inside.

    From hospitals to stadiums to offices, facilities managers know a lot about buildings and the people in them. 

    That’s why we wanted to get the behind-the-scenes story about how they’re approaching their work in building management in a post-pandemic world. 

    A Honeywell/KRC survey of more than 1,500 of buildings managers in the United States, Germany and China and Saudi Arabia gives a snapshot of what’s next in the world of buildings and their occupants. 

    Here are the trends:

A majority of those surveyed are looking to invest in indoor air quality optimization and in occupant experience solutions like contactless building access, smart parking and personalized experiences.
