Résumé

This guide shows how to implement a sustainability strategy in properties across different 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.
