TL;DR
Traditional facility management often suffers from centralized decision-making, which can lead to dissatisfaction among occupants. A blockchain- and Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO)-based framework was developed to enhance community participation in smart building management.
✦ Why It Matters
Engineers can leverage blockchain and DAO frameworks to enhance stakeholder engagement in facility management.
Key Takeaways
Full Summary
Facility management typically relies on centralized structures, limiting input from stakeholders and resulting in misalignment with occupant needs. To address this, a blockchain- and DAO-based framework was created to facilitate decentralized governance in community-based facilities management.
The framework allows stakeholders to participate in decision-making processes through a transparent and secure platform. By leveraging blockchain technology, the system ensures accountability and traceability of decisions made.
Initial findings suggest that this approach can significantly enhance occupant satisfaction and engagement, although specific metrics were not provided. The implications for engineers and researchers include the potential for improved facility management practices and the exploration of decentralized governance models in other domains.
