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.

detail depending on your interests.' Building Engineer
'As sustainable practice becomes, of necessity, the norm in all
aspects of society, facilities managers will find this book a
useful point of reference in their daily work. Those new to the
field will be hard-pressed to come across a better overview of the
subject. For students of facilities management and related subjects
this book represents an important introduction to and treatment of
the topic and one that should remain useful throughout their
professional careers.' Professor Loveday
