From Paper to Performance: AR Manuals for Sustainable Building Operations

In the era of climate change and ESG accountability, sustainable buildings have become a cornerstone of the built environment. From LEED-certified campuses to net-zero commercial towers, these facilities promise lower emissions, higher efficiency, and better occupant health.
But for many operators, paper-based manuals and outdated documentation are still the default tools for running these high-performance buildings—creating a disconnect between the building’s design and its day-to-day operations.
Fekki.io bridges this gap by converting traditional facility manuals into Augmented Reality (AR)-powered experiences, enabling teams to operate, maintain, and troubleshoot green systems with greater speed, accuracy, and confidence.

The Hidden Cost of Paper in Sustainable Buildings

  • Sustainable buildings often integrate complex systems like:
  • High-efficiency HVAC and ventilation systems
  • Solar panels and energy storage
  • Rainwater harvesting and graywater reuse systems
  • Smart lighting, access control, and IoT-based building management systems
Managing these technologies with static PDFs, spreadsheets, or physical binders slows down teams and increases the likelihood of error or missed steps—impacting both energy efficiency and sustainability performance.

Key challenges include:

  • Time lost searching through outdated manuals
  • Risk of skipped or incorrect procedures
  • Inconsistent SOP execution across teams

Difficulty training new staff on advanced systems
