From the Association for Facilities Engineering site:

“Technology is exploding all around us, and you are the advocate, the voice of a building that otherwise cannot speak for itself. Consider this! Most of the building automation systems, building systems and technology, and products you see in the world today did not exist just ten years ago. It is incumbent upon the facilities engineer to keep updating our ability to maintain the technological wonders we continue to build, and in that regard – the Association for Facilities Engineering will continue to be the advocate and voice for facilities world-wide.”
