4 November 2026 12.45pm – 1.30pm Zoom webinar

Overview

Connected compliance - Where water safety, facilities management and connected technology meet.

Managing water safety across modern buildings and estates is becoming increasingly complex. Facilities teams must maintain effective Legionella control while balancing limited resources, geographically dispersed estates, sustainability objectives and the need to provide clear evidence of compliance.

Join IWFM Ireland for this FREE Lunch & Learn webinar exploring how monitoring, automation and connected technologies can support a more informed and efficient approach to water hygiene management.

Delivered by Seamus McKeown, Group Water Technical Manager at HBE, the session will look at how technology can strengthen Legionella control programmes – providing greater visibility, improving compliance information and helping facilities teams focus where they are needed most.

Drawing on HBE's experience working across both Ireland and the UK, the webinar will highlight considerations relevant to facilities professionals operating in either market, while recognising the nuances of each.

Key takeaways

By the end of this webinar, you will have a better understanding of:

  • The changing compliance challenge: How resource pressures, estate complexity, sustainability and increasing evidence requirements are influencing the delivery of water hygiene programmes.
  • Connected compliance: How remote monitoring, automated flushing and centralised information can complement established Legionella control measures.
  • Using data to target resources: How monitoring and risk information can help skilled teams focus their time on exceptions, areas of concern and higher-priority activity.
  • Improving estate visibility: How information from multiple assets, buildings and locations can be brought together to identify trends and support more consistent oversight.
  • From data to action: How connected systems and API integration can help water safety information feed into existing facilities and estate management processes.
Practical application: Real-world examples in Ireland of how connected approaches have been used across complex and geographically dispersed estates to support compliance, efficiency and informed decision-making.
