The Cost of Bad Data in Asset Management
The Problem
A routine filter change on an air handler unit (AHU) was expected to take 30 minutes. However, inaccurate asset data led to a series of inefficiencies:
- The technician couldn’t locate the AHU where it was documented to be.
- After extensive searching, the tech found the wrong air handler, requiring a return trip with the correct filter.
- Instead of 30 minutes, the job took 2 hours—quadrupling the labor cost. At $50/hour, this added $75 in unnecessary expenses
For an organization managing 300 AHUs, with 20% of them affected by poor data accuracy, the additional cost per filter change skyrockets to $4,500.
This scenario is not unique. As reported by the Harvard Business Review, bad data costs the U.S. economy $3 trillion annually, impacting everything from operational efficiency to customer satisfaction. In asset management, bad data doesn’t just waste money—it erodes trust and disrupts operations.
