The New CRE Imperative: Contactless Facility Management for a Changing Landscape

Commercial real estate (CRE) is entering a new era. The recently passed One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) is poised to spark a wave of building retrofits, energy upgrades, and modernization projects—while owners and operators face mounting pressure to maintain tenant satisfaction and operational efficiency.

As Buildings Buzz notes, the legislation will drive an “unprecedented retrofit boom,” with owners racing to install solar, modernize HVAC systems, and implement sustainable infrastructure before incentives expire. The result? A surge in building complexity, system integrations, and performance expectations. To keep pace, property owners need smarter, more automated ways to oversee building operations and prove performance.

That’s where Contactless Facility Management (CFM) from Invisible Sun Technology—powered by Exact Comms—comes in.

Why CRE Needs Contactless Facility Management

1. Scaling Operations During the Retrofit Wave

As buildings undergo extensive upgrades, managing multiple contractors, schedules, and service teams becomes daunting. Invisible Sun’s contactless solution delivers continuous, automated oversight across systems and teams, ensuring accountability and real-time validation of work—without relying on manual check-ins or phone-based tracking.

2. Enhancing Tenant Experience

Today’s tenants expect seamless building operations—clean spaces, consistent comfort, and prompt service resolution. Contactless facility management ensures that tasks are completed on schedule and to standard, creating a consistently reliable tenant experience that strengthens satisfaction and retention.

3. Reducing Risk and Increasing Resilience

Contactless systems enable continuous monitoring and instant alerts when tasks or conditions fall out of compliance. This proactive visibility helps prevent service lapses, protect assets, and minimize costly emergency interventions—all while ensuring regulatory and contractual compliance.

4. Strengthening Competitive Differentiation

In an increasingly crowded market, buildings that can prove operational performance and sustainability compliance will stand out. Contactless facility management gives owners the ability to demonstrate service quality, efficiency, and innovation—key differentiators in today’s tenant-driven market.
