Virtual Building Management (VBM): A term used to describe the process of leveraging digital technologies to monitor, assess, and control various aspects and elements of a building. Through the use of sensors, artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, and cloud-based software systems, VBM helps facilities managers streamline operations, improve energy efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance safety and security. With VBM, facilities management is becoming increasingly automated and efficient in managing buildings more effectively and efficiently.
