Spring is supposed to be a time of growth, renewal and hope. Many cultures and religions celebrate sacred holidays, most of which take place communally, with family and friends.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic this year many of us are observing these special occasions alone or with family and friends but only virtually.

While we are celebrating with social distancing, we can pause to give thanks for what we have, and offer immense gratitude to the doctors, nurses, first responders, grocery store workers, maintenance and sanitation workers and all those other front-line workers who are giving so much of themselves to help others.

Two weeks ago I shared on our social media pages ([Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/Newman-Consulting-Group-LLC-106654297957/), [Twitter ](https://twitter.com/JimNDeanofGreen)and [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimnewmandeanofgreen/detail/recent-activity/)), an article by one of my favorite local speakers and writers, [Josh Linkner](https://joshlinkner.com/2020/how-to-avoid-negative-thoughts-during-a-crisis). He wrote about ANTs. Not the kind that are the bane of any facility manager or building owner, but Automatic Negative Thoughts as described by psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen.

**Connectivity. The Internet of Things (IoT). Controlling Costs.**

Maybe these are not such new ideas in building operations and maintenance, but every year they improve and it was all on display in San Antonio at [BOMA 2018](https://www.boma.org/BOMA/Education-Events/BOMA/Education-Events/Home.aspx). It was a hot time in Texas! Touring the exhibit floor, I made a point to learn what’s new in these areas.

Energy Efficient. Cost Effective. That’s the goal of the building engineer or facility manager. Today’s building energy management information systems (BEMIS), combined with IoT (Internet of Things), makes being both energy efficient and cost effective not only possible, but so much easier – and smarter.
