== Areas of Research ==

The research done by facilities engineer is involved in the [[Energy industry|energy sector]]. Facilities engineer try to find new ways in order to improve efficiency and save power for industrial equipment and buildings. This has pushed many innovations in the move to green buildings and energy storage. The [[green building]] movement has caused research into how to reduce energy waste in industrial buildings.<ref name=":3">{{cite journal |last1=Putnam |first1=Cynthia |last2=Price |first2=Stan |title=High‐performance facilities engineering: Preparing the team for the sustainable workplace |journal=Journal of Facilities Management |date=June 2005 |volume=3 |issue=2 |pages=161–172 |doi=10.1108/14725960510808464 }}</ref> Some of the innovations involve [[Smart lighting|smart lights]], thermal curtains, [[Reflective surfaces (climate engineering)|cool roofs]], green insulation and rainwater storage.<ref name=":3" /> The goal of the green building is to make a building that is sustainable and has no negative impact on the environment.<ref name=":22"/> The [[energy storage]] research focus on innovating new equipment to store energy in off-peak hours and use during peak hours. These new innovations technologies range from [[Flywheel energy storage|flywheel storage]] to [[hydrogen production]] during off-peak hours.
