The book takes a structured approach:
• masterplanning and real estate (acquisitions and
disposals)
• design
• construction and commissioning
• refurbishment, fit-out and project management
• maintenance
• operation
• occupant satisfaction.
Sustainable Practice for the Facilities Manager fills a the gap
between the policy-level sustainability books and the detailed
technical documents by focusing on the ‘what’ and
‘how’ of planning and implementing sound environmental
management practices in the context of FM operations.
It covers policy and trends on global, European and UK levels
affecting businesses; compliance requirements for organisations -
including some sector-specific areas; and best practice, with good
and bad case studies showing the business benefits of incorporating
sustainable practice into day-to-day activities.
The book is for:
• facilities management professionals
• public and private organisations owning properties
• property companies
• institutional investors
• building services or supplier organisations
and will help you deliver an improved operationally performing
facility.
