Sustainable Practice for the Facilities Manager

sectors including offices, retail and manufacturing. It explains the facilities manager's role in incorporating sustainability into the whole life-cycle of a building - from initial briefing to final disposal. 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.
