As shops, offices and other venues begin to reopen, helping ensure the safety of the places we’re returning to is top of mind for building owners, managers, workers and visitors. Our latest podcast brings in two facility services experts to talk about which technologies are proven, which are emerging, and which might turn out to be COVID-19 quackery.
